Agent Palmer

If you’re looking for the whole story of the personal computer or microcomputer industry, you have to read a few books. You owe it to yourself to at least cover the two diametrically opposed players in the game: Steve Jobs and Bill Gates.

I’ve read the Steve Jobs biography written by Walter Isaacson, so next up was a Bill Gates biography called Gates: How Microsoft’s Mogul Reinvented an Industry and Made Himself the Richest Man in America by Stephen Manes and Paul Andrews.

A Special Field Report from Agent Waves

I grew up in a family of geeks.

I spent my childhood fighting over who got to be Mario with my three brothers and spending every other Friday at the local comic shop catching up on my weekly’s. So naturally, I always loved every new Nintendo & Sega system put in front of me, and I was smitten with games like Shenmue and Luigi’s Mansion.

A Special Fictional Report from Agent Karat

On a day as regular as any, an irregular thing happened.

Recently, Bill of The Wicked Theory Podcast said that I am a “proxycaster.” “Palmer doesn’t need his own podcast, he has yours.” As such, when I appear on a new podcast, I will be using the term he coined for me.

So with some revisionist history, my appearance on Passers-by Podcast is actually Episode 13 of The Agent Palmer Proxycast. For those keeping score at home I have created an episode guide.
