Short post tonight because I've haven't had a lot of time to play with it today. Important website support test:

• Netflix: Not supported. It's in as an issue though, and Google says they're working on it. I wasn't expecting this to work since I think Netflix uses Silverlight for playback.
• Hulu: Works. It looked a little choppy, but I don't know if that was network or cpu, I'll have to do some more testing to be sure.
• Minecraft: No dice. It looks like there's no Java support at all (got a missing plugin error).

I have a lot of books. And I read a lot of books. I figured that since I have trouble coming up with things to update this blog with, maybe some of you would be interested in what I'm reading. As I finish books, I'll try to put up a little blurb on what I thought of them.

I just finished reading Boneshaker by Cherie Priest. I won this book in some kind of contest, which is surprising because I never win things :). I can't even remember when or where I entered (possibly on Tor.com since October is Steampunk month), but a mysterious envelope from Subterranean Press showed up a couple of days ago with no note or message or anything. Steampunk is a genre that I'm not especially familiar with. I think I've read a handful of books that would be considered steampunk, but the only one that springs to mind is Perdido Street Station by China Mieville, which has the dubious honor of being probably the strangest books I've ever read. But (as far as I know) all the stereotypical elements are accounted for in Boneshaker: goggles, gas masks, airships, strange clockwork or steam-powered mechanical devices. Plus pirates, zombies, and more! It was an interesting story, and well written, but it seemed to go by too quickly -- I wish that she had gone a little more in-depth at times. All in all a good book though, if you're interested in the genre. It made me want to broaden my steampunk exposure.
