Sometimes you don’t need 1,000 pages on a subject. Sometimes 200 will do. In the case of Ninja: The Shadow Warrior by Joel Levy which I recently picked up, this is definitely the case.

What happens in the after show of Mixlr Live 7 Days a Geek shows, usually stays in the after show. But for some reason the idea for a live 24 hour broadcast didn’t remain there.
