Bob Christenson is a Detroit-area writer, musician, and web developer who is always creating something. Usually several things at once. When he's not drowning in code, you can find him writing books, making records, or sipping cocktails in his home tiki bar.

He lives with his wife and daughters in the suburbs of Detroit, Michigan.

I’m not sure what to think of this. The writing was great but the structure felt a bit like a bunch of writing exercises, not a book.
