skyringI put in a pre-order for the book today. I've been waiting for it for months now, with the author dropping tantalising hints about its pre-publication progress and hints as to the contents. She's finally finished it and it will be released next month. I can't wait!
The author is, of course, Melissa Plaut, who writes the New York Hack blog, and has recounted some of her best adventures, her personal philosophy, and her insight into the human race in general and New Yorkers in particular in her book "Hack", which is being released on 28 August.
I started reading Melissa's blog about a year ago, and I enjoyed her descriptions of taxidriving. It's more than a job, I realised, and if a skinny young lady could make a go of driving a Yellow Cab around New York at night, then surely I could handle Canberra. And have a lot of fun doing it.
There are a tonne of cabbie blogs around, I quickly discovered, and I've been following one or two of them. Perhaps the one closest to my heart is Adrian Neylan's Sydney Cablog, in which he dispenses a daily dose of cabbie highlights and wisdom. Heaven knows how he does it; towards the end of my working week I have no time to do anything much beyond drive and sleep.
