New Kindle 2 is here!

In the last few years I’ve shifted from traditional paper books to audiobooks (love Audible!) and rarely looked back. Once in while I will buy an actual book book...which I never finish. Seems the only place my book lives is next to my bed. They are generally too bulky to take with me. When Amazon released the first Kindle, I was put off by the price and well...it just didn’t feel good in my hand. I’m used to my technology being designed by Jonathan Ives...anything less is just...well...less.
Hello Kindle 2. This redesign comes close to being as elegant as an Apple product! I’m about to put one of the hundred or so Apple stickers I have on the sleek metal back.DSC_3431
A full review is coming soon...I received the Kindle yesterday and really love this! I’m already devouring my first book (easy on the eyes) and bugging Amazon to make more Kindle-ready books available.

Fallout 3

This weather (rainy, cold) is making a perfect excuse for me to start playing with a new video game. I’m not the kind that has to finish a game before I move on to the next one. I have been enjoying Little Big Planet since it’s release. My pal Mikki turned me on to Fallout 3. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a huge gamer. She said this one was easy and she was right! I love that I can play it without fear of being killed every 3 minutes (which is generally what happens to me in other shooter games). This one is not nearly as scary as Resident Evil but has the same sort of hunt-for-clues like strategy to it. It’s now on my recommend list! Enjoy...

Happy Valentines Day!

After yesterday’s rain, today is turning out to be one of those clear-blue-sky-sunny-and-crisp SoCal days! A perfect V-Day...hope everyone has a great day!
