My Word is My Bond by Roger Moore
My [rating: 4]
Click here to read my review on Goodreads.
I don’t read many auto-biographies but when I heard that Roger Moore had written a book, for some reason I really wanted to read it. I’m glad I did! He has led an interesting life (and still leading one)! If you read this expecting him to talk about the Bond movies, that’s only a small part of his life. In fact, while Roger Moore loves movies, his true passion is UNICEF, which he talks about extensively in this book.
The chapters about making the Bond movies were interesting, in fact I’ve been motivated to watch all his Bond movies again. However, the times he spent making The Saint, The Persuaders and the countless other movies were also really interesting parts of his life.
If you enjoy autobiographies I would really recommend this book. He presents the interesting details of his life in an entertaining and intriguing manner.
Almost daily I read CNET, ZDnet and several other news feeds regarding technology trends. I do this so I can keep up with how the technology and the industry is changing. I’ve noticed that there have been several articles claiming that the PC is dying. These claims are based on the declining number of desktop sales. I do wonder though if these statistics are only taking into account mass-manufactured computers (i.e. HP, Dell, etc). Personally, I have never bought a premade computer, I’ve always built all my computers.
Issue 82: Greetings gamers!! It was brought to my attention that I don’t talk about Final Fantasy enough and thus this issue is titled as such. Fear not, there are some headlines about FFXIV included in this issue, I didn’t skate around your feedback by merely titling this issue after the game 🙂 By the way, I encourage folks to make these kinds of suggestions. I don’t know what games folks like to read about so if there is a specific game that you would like for me to include, please let me know.
So in between doing some leveling in WoW and preparing for raiding, I’ve been getting back into The Secret World since they are doing their anniversary event offering double XP, AP, or SP (until the 15th). The leveling boost, however, isn’t the reason I’ve been drawn back into the game. A friend of mine recently pointed out that you can build decks which will not only provide you with the abilities to maximize where you’ve put your ability points, but it will also award you a costume.
I’m among a fairly large group of folks that really enjoy movies. Though, I’m not talking about just watching a movie for its entertainment value, I really get into the movie making process. When I watch a movie, I’m watching it for the plot, the script, the score, sometimes even the cinematography. In some films I even try to image how they accomplished some special effects. I’m the guy that actually watches the special features on all the blu-ray or DVD discs, especially if there are behind-the-scenes and/or “the making of …” featurettes.
