G. Wells' book as it could be given the modern-day setting...but with two major flaws that, to me, end up making this one a renter. <a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2005\/06\/29\/war-of-the-worlds\/\">&#x27A1;<\/a><\/span><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2005\/06\/29\/office-depot-bootlegs\/\">Office Depot bootlegs<\/a> <span class=\"today_excerpt\">I stopped by the downtown Seattle Office Depot on lunch to do some coveting, and had to wonder how customers were expected to compare the quality of the various LCD displays when they were all playing a highly-compressed video of music videos taken from CMT's broadcast stream. <a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2005\/06\/29\/office-depot-bootlegs\/\">&#x27A1;<\/a><\/span><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2005\/06\/29\/podcast-03-difficult-listening-hour-04\/\">Podcast 03: Difficult Listening Hour 04<\/a> <span class=\"today_excerpt\">I'm posting a series of mix sessions I did a few years back.
