Kindle versus paper: a pictorial

October 18, 2009

I have had a Kin­dle for a few months now and really enjoy it.  I have been read­ing like I’ve never read before!  The size and con­ve­nience are great and, for many texts, far out­weighs the longevity and space require­ments of paper books (even though I love hav­ing shelves and shelves of book spines to […]

Comments from all over (Virtual Kindle Style)

July 3, 2009

When the blog was the only out­let for typed thoughts and shared com­ments, every­thing got posted here (or, tech­ni­call, over at Live­Jour­nal, as that was my blog long, long before I moved it here.) Now that we have Twit­ter and Face­book and what­not, those thoughts get scat­tered through­out the inter­nets.  In an effort to […]

Podcasting Meetup

April 29, 2005

The pod­cast­ing meetup last night was pretty big and fun.  I'll have to write about that when I have more time.

December 23, 2004

You’re The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy!
by Dou­glas Adams
Con­sid­ered by many to be one of the fun­ni­est peo­ple around, you are
quite an enter­tainer. You’ve also trav­eled to the far reaches of what you deem pos­si­ble,
often con­fused and unsure of your­self. Life con­tin­ues to jos­tle you around like a mar­ble,
but it’s shown you so much of the […]

But What Is The ISBN Number?!

February 22, 2003

Men­tal Note: For smooth (that is, non-chunky) cof­fee, remem­ber to put a fil­ter in the coffee maker.

I do not remem­ber much about my dream last night–specific scenes and spe­cific objects, but not a whole lot by way of plot.  I was on one team, but there were oth­ers.  The other teams may or may not have […]

Hoopfully Flangle Me With Crinkly Bingled Worms

Three words:

I cer­tainly hope this beats the copy-of-a-copy-of-a-copy-of-a-copy-ad-infinitium
