Long time readers of Gizmo's Freeware will fondly remember editor "Briard"
whose long, funny articles on Linux were a delight to read as well as being
highly original and informative. You won't then be surprised to hear that
Briard , whose real name is Kim Brebach has actually written several novels
as well as running a successful technology consulting business. Kim helped
this site a lot when it first started out so I'm repaying the favor by
helping publicize his newest writing adventure. It is a blog. Not just your
ordinary blog but one of the strangest and most engaging blogs you are likely
to read. The subject matter is mostly a mix of Technology, Photography, Food
and Wine. That sounds like an unholy combination but it works brilliantly
helped of course by the quality of Kim's writing. As it turns out, an
interest in all of these subject areas is surprisingly common. I certainly am
which is why I've become a regular reader. If that sounds like you as well
then check it out. Here's a sample of some recent posts: "A breakthrough in
internet security: 100% protection, 0% system load. But alas not totally
free" Nikon's D3200 – As good as it gets for $700? The best wines under
$25 Dead Easy Scrumptious Lamb Shanks I can assure you Kim really knows his
wines so although his selections are mainly Australian and New Zealand
wines you should, with the assistance of a little Google searching, be
able to locate them in your region. If you do, you are going to be
rewarded with wines of near Grand Cru quality at ridiculously low prices.
Better still they are wines your friends and colleagues will have no idea
even existed. That will do a lot for your wine cred. Warning: As Kim's blog
covers photography there are occasional studies of nudes. It's all very
tasteful but if you find nudity offensive then stay away.
