Today I got to play around with a friend’s Kindle 2. The device is very cool. The screen technology is easy to read. I can see how the Kindle would be very handy for all the PDF documents I want to read. I download the PDF docs but I never take the time to read [...]
Finished reading The Devil’s Eye by Jack McDevitt. The Devil’s Eye is about Alex Benedict and his pilot companion Chase Kolpath. The book takes place when famous horror writer Vicki Greene leaves antiquities dealer Alex a desperate message. While Alex and Chase investigate Vicki Greene’s message they discover that Greene has voluntarily had her [...]
Today it dawned on me the reason people don’t meet their New Year’s Resolutions is the lack of accountability and self evaluation. It’s hard not to be held accountable for my resolutions, because I published them online. Since, we are a quarter of the way into 2009 I decided to re-evaluation the progress of my [...]
Finished reading A Lion Among Men by Gregory Maguire. A Lion Among Men is the third book in the Wicked series. In book we see Oz through the eyes of the Cowardly Lion. The Cowardly Lion was once a tiny lion cub defended by Elphaba in Wicked, the first book in the series.
While [...]
List of the new Windows 7 Keyboard and Mouse shortcuts. I really like the short cut to move a window between montiors.
I finished reading 10 Days to a Sharper Memory by Russell Roberts, Abby Marks-Begie, Lenny Laskowski, and Tom Nash. I didn’t find this book very helpful. The memory techniques are vague and silly. It could be that in order to have a better memory you need to do silly techniques like turn numbers in [...]
I finished reading Your Internet Cash Machine by Joe Vitale and Jillian Coleman Wheeler. The book was very out of date for being less than a year old. The content of the book gives the impression that the writers aren’t very active online. The majority of the book focused on using eBay auctions to [...]
I finished reading The Shack. I found The Shack to be an interesting book with a unique religious backing.
The Shack is about Mackenzie Allen Philips’, Mack, and the trials and tribulations he endures while deepening his relationship with God. Mack’s youngest daughter, Missy, is abducted during a family vacation. Evidence that Missy has [...]
I finished reading The Story of Edgar Sawtelle. I really enjoyed the book. The book is about Edgar Sawtelle, born mute and able to speak only in sign, leads an idyllic life with his parents on their farm in Wisconsin. For generations, the Sawtelles have raised and trained dogs. Edgar’s lifelong friend Almondine is [...]
I had a good time this weekend. Salli and I drove down to Portland, OR Saturday morning to see Wicked for Salli’s birthday. Salli has wanted to see Wicked for a while and we have been unable to get tickets. The play didn’t follow the book 100%, but was still very good.
We only spent [...]
