Man, I was hoping to get the Kindle version but it's not ready until the middle of next month.

I hope its good. i just got a copy for my vacation in a few weeks.

Hmmm, my Amazon order says it is being packaged or something. Trying to cancel as it says they will charge me nearly $10 shipping but the item description says it qualifies for free shipping. Don't get that... If They send it anyway, oh well, if my cancel request is honored then I'll reorder with the free shipping.

I almost got caught up into that as well. You needed to select the standard fedex for $3.99 and not the 2 day for $10(which was selected by default).

I just got the Book. It looks really interesting so far.

I skimmed through the section on how the Boing Ball works.

Very interesting for me as I have coded my own boing balls for android and amiga classic. I had no idea the original used color cycling...

It's not a secret that it uses color cycling. I don't know how you missed it.

I never really looked at it that closely. Other than moving the ViewPort around, I knew it was using some kind of trick as it does not use much CPU at all. I'm sure if I would have captured the screen i would have figured it out pretty quickly.

I wish the pictures were in color in the book.  I also wish they had more pictures.  :-)

would you also like it slightly larger than a book?

Maybe you are looking for a magazine
