Book Reviews by Danny Yee (fiction + nonfiction): "I have chosen to work part-time (20 hours a week) so I have more time for other activities, reading and reviewing among them. [...] I won't be giving up my day job anytime soon, but income from my web sites covers my hosting costs and my book buying. [...] My motivations for writing reviews are various and what I read depends very much on what grabs my fancy when browsing bookshops or publishers' catalogues." This is amazing and how we should be living now. Work 20h a week and then do what you like the rest of the time.

Tokyo 42 with mouse and keyboard, ah, so good. Perfect mixture! 9/10
Descenders (on Deck): I have no idea whether the graphics are supposed to look like this or not. It's a racing game with a little twist, and that makes it good for a few minutes. I'm not going to do any of those silly social things, daily challenges, rider group, team mascots, whatever. 5.5/10
