It is a tragedy. And something is going on with one of the nuclear power plants, but I can't find much details in the news yet.

The other day, I was really busy. I wanted to read a long pdf file and an email document, but I had to take my kids to their basketball practices. I could have printed out the file, but it was about 60 pages long. Amazon provides a free service to kindle owners that lets you send word docs...

I read the 1st of the series several years ago. It was an enjoyable book. I have forgotten most parts of the storyline. In regards your question, like Occlith stated, is to find the summaries in wikipedia. I often read the summaries in wikipedia for some books. It's kind of like reading a...

This seems impossible. How can you drag/move a tree this tall? Who brought the shovel?

The sentence I used most in my German class was, Ich weiss nicht.

I would like to read it, but it's bit too long. I watched the tv series though. ;) 480 minutes long. That's 8 hours! :O

I used to get 'lost' in our local Borders. The books were sorted in most peculiar way, I had to often seek help from the employees. It was two stories, with stairs, elevators, and a small coffee shop. Unfortunately it closed few years ago. :(

Currently, Amazon is selling Kindle 3. But this explains about Kindle 2 and its e-ink technology. Click the above link. The e-ink technology is really nice. Provides something more of paper like feel than other LCD or TV type screen. E-ink can be read under direct sunlight without glare. I...

According to this article, Borders Decline Means Big Changes For Industry , "e-books are 10% of current book sales, and will accelerate due to many Borders bookstore closings." Also, Borders did not have an e-reader like Barnes & Nobles, Nook. Seems like a major bookseller like Borders...

I had my share of discords on forums. And above quote I have to agree. I find that many folks in certain forums have very similar way of thinking that it's disturbing. What's more perturbing is all the sycophants that reiterate the same idea or ridicule against one person who had the courage...
