Rest In Peace

Well, I'm thinking that it is never a good day to be woken up by a phone call at 6am with the other person telling you someone you know has died. It's been a quiet day. Told everyone I could think of telling. It was quite a shock and very unexpected. Well, I'm home, alone. Going to read and relax.

Slow Day

Not much happened today. Stayed at home, mostly. There are a bunch of geese at the lake behind me. Went back there and fed a few of them. Did the laundry, got the mail and made dinner. Going to bed to read.

From the Horse's Mouth

Watching TWit TV on my Roku tonight. They are talking about books, ebooks and Apple's I Book. According to them many authors are going to the ebook format as they (the authors) have been screwed for years by the publishing houses. For example, one of the guests has started an epub publishing house and is allowing authors to keep 50% of what is sold. That's a huge amount over what publishing houses have done normally. I do think that epublishing is here to stay. It gives authors the ability to make a living and more control over the material they write.

So, I Bought an IPad

Too bad there doesn't seem to be a good app that syncs with Blogger. I like the tablet, so far. Good size, easy to handle and the battery life is excellent. I don't even mind typing on it. I REALLY like how light it is. It does worry me about how fragile it might be. May have to get some kind of hard case for it.

Interesting Movie

Big crowd at the temple tonight for the movie " Forks over Knives". Interesting film about diet and how diseases can be treated with the right diet. Good discussion afterwards as well. Overall, it was a nice evening. I enjoy the films they show at the temple.

Another Year

Another day at work. Busy day today for me. Lots to do with the start of another month. Paperwork and such. Not looking forward to it. Nice quite evening last night. Laying on the couch, reading and listening to music. Wish I could just spend the day doing that. I'd enjoy it more and it would be better for me.
