Almost as if in response to something I said about him, the little bastard goes and gets sick. I suppose I should take comfort in the fact that the vet says that they can’t find anything wrong with him. Nothing on the x-ray, nothing in blood work, nothing alarming in the urinalysis… It is the weirdest thing.
Get better, little tough guy.
I forget where I came across GoodReads.com the first time around but I had basically just removed the link from my del.icio.us “todo” set when Sarah pops up and tells Wranglers to get on board. So, several Wranglers later, I cave and join up as well. Short versions of immediate impressions:
- The concept is neat but the UI is terrible. It’s hard to find the correct action links and there is not much consistency from screen to screen. And what’s up with not allowing whitespace characters in the names of my shelves?
- So much focus on each book and not a lot of focus on the users. Hard to describe… Just seems like when you land at a given book, you don’t see how it ties in with your social network or your interests. Seems difficult to explore (thus far).
- The system seems demanding. Sure you can just rate a book (having it automatically added to your “read” list) but the UI seems like it’s trying to bully you into making recommendations and reviews on top of your ratings.
