56th International Belgrade Book Fair Impressions

Yesterday I went over to the International Belgrade Book Fair which is held every year sometime during October.
The Children of Man, Book One: Shatter (by Elizabeth C. Mock)

Well, after my recent purchase of Android, I got back into reading books again. Using FBReader's built-in option for searching and downloading free e-books, I've stumbled upon a very nice fantasy book written by Elizabeth C. Mock titled http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/17486.
Jamendo - Quality Underground Music

From time to time I go back to Jamendo looking for something new to listen. Every time I get amazed by the quality of some of the albums that can be found there.
Brussels Photos Finally Uploaded (FOSDEM 2011)
Branko Majic — 25. May 2011 - 23:43
As it sometimes happens, I've been way too lazy to even start working on the photos I've made during my visit to Brussels this year for the FOSDEM conference. The photos have just been sitting around on my disk, collecting the bit-dust.
The Ages of Rock Gone by...
Branko Majic — 24. May 2011 - 22:44
In today's day and age I still find myself drawn to the old music from times before I was born. It's an interesting thing that with all the technical improvements and with the increased availability of musical instruments, mostly due to drops in prices, the old songs can still heat your heart much more than any new-age composition.
We are Geeks

Inside of our heads, numerous ideas are born every minute of our lives. We strive to implement those ideas. We strive to enhance those ideas. Those ideas lead our lives as much as we lead our lives trying to bring them forth. They are our children, our creation, our form of art.

Path of Free Software

I walked along the path
Narrow as a line
Demons on my left
Devils on my right
The Philosophical Strangler, Eric Flint
Branko Majic — 1. October 2009 - 23:36
And... Another fine book read. This time it's a parody fantasy book from Eric Flint, titled The Philosophical Strangler. The book follows the adventures of a strangler, named Greyboar, and his agent, Ignice (yep, the strangler got himself an agent). Now, as the title of the book suggests, the strangler has a great interest in philosophy.
Agent of Vega, James H. Schmitz

It is very interesting how much good books can be found on the Internet for free. And when I say free, I'm not talking about torrent and warez sites, but about books that have been published by the authors themselves or publishing houses for anyone to download and read, completely free of charge.
One such books which I've just read is titled 'Agent of Vega', by James H. Schmitz. I've downloaded it from an excellent Baen Free Library (the link to which I found through the FBReader's Free Books page, of course).
