Kindle Wireless Reader

Started the day out by listening to The Beatles – which usually sets the tempo for the rest of the day depending on what comes my way.

I’ve been reading about a lot of gadgets lately and am impressed with some of the things coming out. Many of the “why didn’t I think of that?” Or “It was only a matter of time before someone invented that or came up with that idea?” And again that is the case here.

Kindle Wireless Reader

Amazon has released Kindle, which not only allows you to carry hundreds of novels with you at any given time, it uses the same wireless technology as cellphones so there is no connecting fees to browse books online and purchase right from a couple of clicks on your Kindle. Which means you can be in the back of a taxi, or walking down a street and buy a book and have it auto-delivered in under a minute! Isn’t that amazing?

I know what you’re thinking, “why didn’t I think of that?” Well, that’s how good ideas come – from right under our noses.

The display looks like paper, you can flip through pages fast, and even bookmark, highlight sections save your place and much more. Between this gadget, and the latest MacBook – I know what I want for my birthday. :)

Lennon Coming to iTunes

Apple iTunes

Finally! Not only do I enjoy The Beatles music, I really like John Lennon and now the world will be able to listen to his music through the popular iTunes music download service from Apple.

Apple Inc. has introduced a reason for fans of The Beatles to rejoice by including sixteen albums of the legendary John Lennon in its iTunes music store. He is the third of the fab four to have his solo work digitally available. Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr have already made their digital debuts.

Sixteen solo albums of John Lennon from EMI group can be downloaded now, including the “Lennon Legend” and “Acoustic” collections, which make their first worldwide digital introduction.

Elvis Is Dead

Listen up folks, Elvis is dead. I wish his family would stop selling his image and sound over and over exploiting him and reducing him to a candy bar wrapper. yes, the new Reeses Peanut Butter cup “King Size” now has a Elvis toon to promote the sugary snack.

Now don’t get me wrong, I like Elvis and his music – but he is dead. People need to stop acting as if he is still alive and on tour. His family is behind this.

The only reason Elvis is called “The King” is because he trademarked it. He is not known as the King of Rock and Roll for his music, its only a branded image. Most of you won’t even understand that, but that is the truth. His family paid lots of money to trademark his image and now sells it every day. He longer performs, he is no longer writing music (which he didn’t do much of) and he isn’t coming back.

Get over it, and let the man die. As I see it, his fans and family have stripped him of any honor because as of now, all he does is sell Reeses peanut butter cups.

This is what the King does?????

Sorry, but your king is now a jester. As admitted by the people who came up with the Reeses campaign, Elvis never ate Reeses Peanut Butter cups.

Is this what will become of musicians and celebs in the future, product endorsements even after death?

Celebrity Mugshots

Well now my wife is telling me she wants to “collect the Harry Potter Books” and I had to ask her, “do you plan on reading them?” Collect books? I have no idea why Harry Potter is so popular, but it seems now even my wife is wrapped up in the current media hype over Harry.

Nonetheless, this brings me to the topic at hand! Celebrity Mugshots.

I wonder how long until Daniel Radcliffe gets his first DUI and his mugshot makes the internet, alongside the likes of Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan – why don’t these girls hire drivers to drive them around if they are drunk?
