Ritchie and the Fonz team up again

This has got to be one of the more bizarre celebrity political endorsements I’ve seen but at least it’s fun seeing Ron Howard revisiting some of his early TV roles.

I’m not endorsing either candidate. Being in Australia means that while the choice of President in the US will certainly effect me and everyone else in the world, I don’t have a say one way or the other.

Making the move with a Kindle

kindle.jpgI wonder how much easier moving house would be if we had a couple of Kindles instead of a few bookcases full of books.

Even though I don’t get to do nearly enough of it, I love reading. I enjoy grabbing a book and a coffee and sprawling out on a couch to disappear into another world as I leaf through the pages.

I’m not entirely convinced that the Kindle would give the same experience as a book but I know it’d be easier to move your library from one place to another.

If you haven’t heard of the kindle before, it’s Amazon’s wireless electronic book. It’s kind of like an iPod for books. It’ll hold a couple of hundred books, magazines and newspapers and is said to read just like a book. The big news for them at the moment is that Oprah has jumped on board and named it as her new favourite gadget. That should move sales along nicely.

Unfortunately they haven’t made them available in Australia yet so I guess we’ll just have to pack all our books into boxes and move them the old fashioned way.
