Mac OS X software recommendations updated for 2009
I update it at least once a year and my girlfriend always says I love to give my opinion online on every single thing, so here is the new version of my Mac OS X tool recommendations.
The Terror. Come on!
To this day, I don’t still understand why my friend Sam didn’t like The Terror by Dan Simmons. I couldn’t put it down!
Historical Fiction (the catastrophic Franklin arctic expedition) and Horror Story, it was a chilling and hyperrealistic tale. The Terror ? It was the name of the boat, the terrifying cold winter and a mysterious and mythical wendigo like creature.
COME ON!
