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. :)

Raining Cats & Dogs

So much for the idea of romantic “rainy nights.” It has been rainy cats and dogs lately, and despite the classic idea of enjoying a rainy day afternoon – it gets old pretty quick.

Lots of rainy days and nights means more time for video games – or at least looking at more sites on the internet.

Online Personals

After giving it some thought, I wonder how many people actually use these “online personals” sites. There are people in my family who have met other people online and now live with them! So there has to be a few out there who are willing to give it a try, right?

Lifestyle Personals lets you meet others in your area and hook up for a date, or dinner, whatever you feel like doing I suppose.

Many people I know are tired of the bar scene and wish they could just meet other people like themselves and have a good time.

Girl Gamers on Warcraft

So my wife has been playing World of Warcraft lately.

Did you know there is a wave of “girl gamers” on the internet? Yes, with the popularity of video games and online gaming in general, there are now women lurking behind those MMORPG charachters kicking your butt in PVP (player versus player) combat!

Be careful who you chose to duel if you are unable to handle getting your butt kicked by a 2 foot tall girl. There are female Gnome Frost Mages that will cripple you in PVP and are a valued part of any dungeon group.

Do you play Warcraft?

How many adults play World of Warcraft? I bet it is more than you would imagine! Today’s video gamer is not just a chubby faced kid with glasses. Much of today’s gaming advertising is not only aimed at adults, but many of the games themselves are intended for adults. The video game industry has spent a lot of money to break away from the “chubby kid” gamer image.

While some are clearly for both kids and adults. World of Warcraft is a MMORPG which is Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game or something similar. The game is the “world” or online version of the very successful Warcraft real time strategy games for the PC.

“Do you play World of Warcraft?” just may be the next pick up line in a bar!

World of Warcraft is very popular right now and you can find many screenshots of actual game play on the internet.

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.

Google Charging For Extra Storage

Sounds like Google is now offering storage plans for gmail and its other products.

I wonder why some would pay for this storage when its free at like Yahoo?

I don’t personally use much space for gmail, i only have about 10 messages that are in there right now – so I wonder, who in their right mind would pay $500 USD a year to store photos and emails? The $500 plan gets you 250 gigs though.

Wealth Is One Click Away

I’ve decided to try to “get-rich” working from home, and now I realize “wealth really is one click away.” If you understand that statement, you too could be on your way to becoming wealthy.

“Are you tired of going to work everyday, sitting in traffic, having to ask for “days off”, and all the rest of headaches that comes from working every day of YOUR life for SOMEONE ELSE? If so, tell yourself IT STOPS NOW – and that Wealth Is One Click Away!”
