My Kindle: Part Deux

// February 11th, 2009 // No Comments » // Kindle, Life

I broke my Kindle.

It was sitting on a ledge where I also keep my wireless headphones with tiled floors all through the house. Not a good combo. I almost dropped it a few times before due to wires getting crossed up etc. The thing that did it was me forgetting it was plugged in and grabbing it from the opposite side I usually get it from. It smashed on the floor screwing up the e-ink to where it was pretty much unreadable. This all happened awhile ago, but I called it in on Monday. 189 dollars later and my brand new Kindle arrived on Tuesday. Setting it up and pulling down my books, magazines and newspapers again was a breeze. Still it was an expensive lesson to learn. Moral of the story is keep your Kindles in a better spot than I did!

My week so far

// April 22nd, 2008 // No Comments » // Entertainment, Kindle, Life, Play

I’ve been doing alot more reading on my Kindle than I have in the past which I like. The main thing i’ve discovered is that reading more than one book on it is great. I have several books that i’m reading plus the local paper here in Austin. Since my mom was a librarian she was definitely happy that I was back into reading in a big way. She’s still a big reader and will sometimes finish a book in a day still, reading all night on the weekends. Crazy!

My buddy Tony from El Paso has been in town for the last few days. We played some Rock Band and hung out for the last few days while he was doing some work in town. Last night we went and hung out and I drunk way to many seven and sevens but otherwise had a great time. We’re planning to try and hit some games up in Denver this year, hopefully Paul will be starting!

Kindle On the Way, Pretentious Asshole to Follow

// April 16th, 2008 // No Comments » // Just Blogging

Well its on the way! After receiving my email welcoming me to the the Kindle family and my tracking number, I promptly went online and ordered 3 books, a newspaper and a blog subscription. I’m really looking forward to my birthday gift to myself. I already envision myself walking into some eatery and pulling out my kindle with everyone oohing and awwing at it (lol).

Shopping Spree

// April 1st, 2008 // No Comments » // Entertainment, Play, Techno Babble

I’ve been a bit of a techno nerd lately, ordering a Behringer Podcastudio Kit, a Livescribe smartpen, and a Kindle. The podcast studio is something I hope to have fun with soon, the Smartpen and Kindle are both backordered with the Smartpen probably shipping much sooner. I’ll have to tell you how they are once I get a chance to play around!
