Opie's got his mind on something else all day too, like Royce. After his kids Ashley, 12, and Caleb, 9, were born, he and his wife Rhonda started thinking about a bigger house. They'd look at magazines for design ideas and go and get books out of the library, books on how to build a place because it'd be cheaper that way. They paid off all their bills too, and when Opie fell in love with seven quiet acres several years ago on the shoulder of Sand Mountain, they bought the property...
...nearest Staples and picked up a Zip drive for $150. It wasn't a mistake--nor was it an educated buy. I hadn't heard of the more capacious and competitively priced SuperDisk by Imation, nor did I know about Sony's upcoming (and as yet unpriced) HiFD and Caleb Technology's UHD 144 (less than $100). I didn't bother to look into Iomega's Jaz (less than $300) or SyQuest's sub-$200 SparQ--gigabyte-size storage media that behave more like external hard drives than floppies...
...have a drawerful of 1.44s, you'll need a separate floppy drive to read them. The SuperDisk drive has its own 120-MB discs but can run regular old floppies too. And if you can wait until late fall, you will have even more options: Sony and Caleb separately announced last week that they'll start shipping their own ultra-high-density drives, which will also be able to run standard floppies. Sony's entry, the HiFD, uses a 200-MB disc. Caleb, a smaller company, based in Boulder, Colo., will use 144-MB discs--I guess because they...
Morris beautifully orchestrates the four stories (helped by Caleb Sampson's music, which gaily purloins motifs from Nino Rota and Philip Glass). The film blends interview and location footage with clips from old movies and Super 8, black and white and color. As the styles merge, so do the stories. The real lions, the leaf elephants, the robot insects and the insectoid rodents overlap, abut, merge in a gorgeous fugue of hard work and abiding love. This is a funny, thrilling tribute to people's urge to find play and profundity in the work they...
...Caleb Carr's gaslit narrative style has gained a touch of weight since his agreeable turn-of-the-century detective novel The Alienist (1994), but perhaps no more than success justifies. The reader is inclined to nod indulgently--at the new novel's 629 pages, at the rustle of the writer's smoking jacket and at the swirl of the great man's brandy. That's the illusion--author as Basil Rathbone--that Carr, 42, persuades us to believe...
