The Mammoth Hunters — Finished

Phew, I’ve just fin­ished The Mam­moth Hunters by Jean M Auel. It’s a much more of a girly love story than the first two books, but a fant­astic read any­way. There is def­in­itely a change of pace in this book com­pared to the first two. The two main char­ac­ters meet­ing the mam­moth hunters of the title allows for much broader char­ac­ter devel­op­ment. The con­stant repe­ti­tion of known facts was a little annoy­ing, but in all, a good tale very well told.
Recommended!

It’s on to The Plains Of Pas­sage next. I remem­ber this being a slow book. It’s cer­tainly a lot thicker than the first three.

Tattooing Robot

An Aus­trian elec­tri­cian has inven­ted the world’s first tat­too­ing robot. It runs on a palm pilot.
I’m not sure how genu­ine this is, but let’s hope Microsoft don’t get into this busi­ness. I can just ima­gine hav­ing “Born to be w?*z%^ MS Tat­tooMe has caused an error. Press any key to con­tinue” across your back. :-)
And a BSOD is gonna hurt!
