Prosquite fine.her screen is, at leastthe screen is great. easy to read on. to see pixels, you need to strain pretty hard. I find it natural to read. the lack of a backlight on the feature list is offputting at first, but - makes perfect sense when you keep in mind that the kindle made specifically to avoid the eye strain that comes allong with rear lit displays. then again, it would be nice to have some mechanism to read without turning a light on. light.so light that she feels a little bit cheap. this counts as a plus for me. I am usually hefting around a lenovo, acer aspire, and the power bricks and other acoutraments that one carrys around. so - having something that is off puttingly light, is a nice thing."extensibility"By amazons email to conversion method, or "other methods" - its easy to add non amazon content to the kindle.status barthe kindle has this great little lcd powered status bar on the left hand side. it works by revealing a reflective little background. very snappy, and seems to be very responsive. I like that it brings something else that is NOT A SCREEN to the kindle.power!battery seems to last forever as long as whisper-net is off. I think I read somewhere that the kindle only uses power to change screens.Consrethink the button placement.I am a fan of those HUGE next page, previous page buttons. What I am not a fan of is the fact that its impossible to hold the kindle on either side of the top 2/3rds of the device without flipping a page. that doesnt work well. You should be able to hold it like you hold a book... you dont hold a book by the bottom portion of the spine, you generally hold it in the center. unless you are the type that holds the book by placing your thumb in the center spreading the pages. In that case, its natural for you.wispernetThis is unfair to write about since for me - it didnt work. I got a bum unit and am waiting replacement. so far, my experience is bad. lets see what I come back with.coverthis thing is just terrible. the kindle doesnt really lock in to the cover. it just sort of sits there, pushing up against a little plastic tab. when you get the kindle and put the cover on to find it oddly loose: stop questioning yourself - its not the way you put it in - thats just how it is.suggestions"joo gotta keep it publicated". ok, well - that didn't make much sense. regardless tho, one of my biggest gripes is that the magazines and newspapers available for the kindle seem to have all adopted this ghetto "mobile formatting". I think that they are just feeding RSS feeds someplace. As much as I am reading these pubs to... well, read - I would love to see things laid out similarly to thier print counterparts. Did we learn nothing from the iphones preservation of web presentation? Also, underlines and aliased text must go. periodicals - get it together!economicaif you are thinking about picking this up so that you save money on books, think again. unless you are a college student, you arent saving anything. but, if you are looking for a nice e-book reader, and can part with the cash, go for it. |

I ran to the door, which was a sliding door. I placed my palm on the panel to the left of the door and it slid opened. It shut immediately as soon as I passed the room threshold. The lighting around the door turned red and I started running down the corridor to "chris's room" the room seemed to know that I was coming; the door slid opened as I came to it. when I entered the room, I was surprised to see that my friend was not there. Instead, my mother in law was there, along with liv tyler. My mother in law immediatly went to sleep on one of the two beds in the room, and an alarm started to go off. I looked towards the center of the room at a display that appeared. In blue type, the terminal showed me two choices: "I want to die" "I want to die alone" I touched the "I want to die buttom, instinctually. I dont know why I made this decision. Liv Tyler yelled at me. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!??!!? You didn’t HAVE TO DO THAT. Now they are coming for you, lie down on the bed, and maybe they won’t see you". Liv was sitting in a chair near the top corner of the bed. I crawled into the bed, looking up at her. I was scared. Suddenly, her hands came from behind me, touching my cheeks, comforting me. she was in front of me, but she was also behind me, in the bed. "Shhhhhhhhhhh" she said to me. At that instant, I felt the hands on my face go cold, and I could feel the texture of her skin changing. I tried to call out, but I couldn’t breath. it was at that point where I noticed that her eyes turned black and the life was leaving her body. I felt life leaving my body. I heard myself saying in my head "don't do this. don't do this to gina" and I found the strength to reach out. I grabbed the necklace from around liv tylers neck and felt the last of my life (force?) leave me. ------ I woke up trembling. shaking.... not in a quiet way, but violently. I pulled my headphones out of my ears and looked down at my iphone to see what song was playing. it was massive attack: what your soul sings. I woke gina up to tell her what had gone on. I was afraid to look at her. Nausea was killing me. I have never felt anything like this in my life. |

now I get it. Jo, I am sorry I doubted you. Bob, not enough to change my hair style, but I get it now. I am sooooo sorry that I never understood. It all makes sense now. Gawker, for the longest time, has been providing a visual archive of the retardedness that is todays hipster. from scary 50 somethings wearing things that they just shouldnt wear to 19 year old hottie sluts that would be hot, if you know, they werent wearing white rimmed sunglasses, an ironic t-shirt and a terrorist scarf*. http://gawker.com/tag/blue-states-lose/ I try to look at this as often as possible. it all started when I would recognize ppl on it. or bathrooms used in the pics. whatever *no need to be politically correct. thank you gawker for recording the akwardness of this generation. |

its strange, because I have adjusted pretty well. I have been working pretty insane hours for a few weeks, but this week has been the most. last week, around 65 hours, I started getting really bad headaches. Not having those anymore. I am def. cranky. my poor fucking wife. also odd is that I have NO apetite. Yesterday was a light 14 hour day. All I ate was a wrap, a table spoon of ice creame and a slice of pizza for dinner. I think I am going into some strange mode, probably a panic response or something like that. My mind goes back and forth from mush to amazingly sharp. the other night, all I needed to do was sit down and write a few thousand lines of xml, and I could barely do it. My mind just couldnt remember what nodes I was connecting to what (it was for this visual think map kind of thing.) but then the next day (or night, whatever - 5 am - around the same time) I kind of went into coder mode and rewrote a bunch of action script for one of the site sections that were acting funny. AS is easy - but - I have never written it before. for that matter I havent written anything in over 3 years. yay provigil. 94.5 hours and counting. |

-vince collura Ok - someone once told me that only self obsessed asses self quote. I am fairly self obsessed. A friend told me that she was working on a paper today on the broad subject of religion. It got me thinking. Why haven't we evolved out of this already? |

then comes projectus typicalus. lately, we have been able to charge a premium for our work because we get shit done. period. its never a matter of if. I have an amazing team. why is simply "getting shit done" a valuable commidity in this realm?! because its no excuses, crunch time, "oh my god just stand aside and let me get some work done" kind of work. no one else CAN do it. but of course, the project that we are working on, to launch soon gets to us two weeks late. so - instead of us being on an INSANE 4 week time frame, we are on an INSANE 2 week time frame. and of course, there are changes being made. I could always turn it in late, but - I would have egg on my face. the client is spending a FEW MILLION on an event coinciding with the project launch. This too stands in the way of Italy. so, italy, you and me, just not meant to be. I made the decision to cancel the trip a week ago. it was an easy decision. I wasnt even too miffed about it. Plane tickets are paid for in miles... the only thing we are loosing $$ on is the villa. But now, 48 hours before we were SUPPOSED to take off, I'm pissed. Pissed that a CO-OP board, who is AWARE of my constraints, and promised to meet "as needed" cant find the time to meet. Pissed that fairly large companies rely on the IRE OF MY TEAM to get things done, when they can't come close to meeting thier own schedules.... no more words. |

Fuck you google. Every illness or condition in the world seems to have flu like symptoms or sinusitus like symptoms. Lynphoma. Aids. Mono. Cardio motherfuggin encephalopothy. Great, thanks asshat. I have allergies. So, i ALWAYS have sinusitis like issues. Where does this leave me? Paranoid. "doc, I want you to test me. For everything." I guess I shouldn't be sitting here with a medical magazines and an iPhone set to google. |
