It’s been a-buzz in the air for a few weeks (months?) – Barnes and Noble’s answer to the Kindle. I’ve been ignoring the chatter for the most part because, being unemployed at this point makes it impossible for me to grab hold of new techie toys and play with them the way I normally would have wanted to do. However, the Nook (as it is now known) is set to be released in ..read more

on Reading and Writing
My best friend gifted me a Kindle 1 just before the Kindle 2 was released in early 2009 and I have to say that next to the extended Lord of The Rings DVD set, that just might be the best gift a friend has ever given me. That my Kindle is now the 2nd most important piece of technology I own is a revolution of sorts since I traditionally have been a “real book” reader before now. I have tried ..read more

This morning, on FB, I noticed a friend posting a note voicing very loudly a complete and utter disgust with Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight series.

a good day
Remember I was dreading Sunday? Well, here’s what happened on Sunday:
I walked in, rushed in actually, cos I thought I was late. Boss’ wife was vacuuming the office when I got in. She greeted me with “What a way to spend your Sunday, huh?” and then “Here … here is your very own office key.” and hands me a key to the office. I am like “Whoa! Thanks!” she smiled and said something else funny. She’s a real nice lady. ..read more
