Unconditional love – that’s what I give my lovely Nook Color. I’ve now had it for three weeks, even though the device has been out since November, and I’ve got a fairly good idea of its capabilities. First, it must be said that the NC is a very specific device. It’s a color touch screen…
Be warned: Shameless self-congratulation follows. I love my new NookColor. Love it to bits. But when I came back from Arizona with it, I returned sans cover. I spent ages looking at the B&N selection, and while many looked nice, I wasn’t happy with the way most of the covers clip the device. In retrospect, I realized that…
I just came back from two very interesting weeks in Arizona, where I was a maid of honor at my best friend’s wedding, and which I followed up with some travelling around the state. Some random notes after the trip: Wedding: This was the first wedding I’ve been a part of, and it was very…
Even though there’s still snow on the ground, I can feel spring around the air. Unlike many people, I mourn the loss of the winter when spring comes – I’m not really one for rain and flowers. So as I was happily shoveling the snow the other day, I thought about my favorite winter romances….
But this time it’s not over the latest iPod iteration or another generation-defining device. Nope, now they’re pissing people off with their new subscription rules. The facts are these: Consumers can now subscribe to magazines and newspapers through the iTunes App Store. The pieces were put in place with Newsweek and the Daily, in October…
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6I6hVnTdnWU I didn’t watch the Grammy Awards Sunday night, but I did keep up with the results, and with the New York Times live blog and some of the Twitter reactions. (Side note: Kanye West has to have one of the biggest egos on the planet, but man, can he be funny.) During that time…
When I was in high school, I thought it was cool not to have breakfast, unless it was just coffee. Don’t ask me why. Sounds asinine now. But teens – what can you do? *shakes head very sorrowfully* Anyway, I grew up, and learned the value of a good breakfast. When I started teaching I…
I don’t know about you, but I am sick – sick sick sick – of Regencies and paranormals. I’m not the only one: Lynn wants Italy, I want France, and LinnieGayl wants post-WWI. But we’re saying much the same thing – we want something different. So the imminent ballooning of steampunk comes as a breath…
I am currently reorganizing my room, and several things came to mind as I sorted through years of junk: I was waaaaaaay overdue for a change. I like the new configuration, which is based around the fact that now my desk faces the window. Much, much more pleasant. I’ve come a long, long way from…
Getting back to Canada in mid-January, after summer in the southern hemisphere, has its disadvantages, but there’s definitely one huge plus: Sales. Sales sales sales. And since all the stores will be trying to get rid of their winter merchandise, it’s the perfect time to shop for boots, right?
