Kindle mania...

OK...I've received a couple of e-mails asking me, What is Kindle?" (See the post below to "Aging by Megabyte" and that link.) For a non-techie, I am surprised I even know the answer. Well... maybe I don't know everything about this hot device, but I know what it is. How do I know, you ask? I read the (paper version) of the NY Times every day. Yes... I read paper! And furthermore, I wrote in a newspaper. And... I recently published a book (in paper) that supposedly now could be read by Amazon Kindle. So if you are wondering what the hype is about Kindle, here's a helpful link (not paper) to a recent NY Times article telling about Amazon's Kindle. Is there a term to signify something larger than megabyte? I am aging by _______byte!

Modern love, gold fish and megabytes

I thought I'd pass on a wonderful piece written in this Sunday's  New York Times, Modern Love commentaries. "Just One Swirl Around the Bowl" (Dan Barry) tells the tale of a a young daughter's dying gold fish and heart wrenching life parallels. It's worth the read so am sharing with you today.

In the same section of the Times was another piece of a totally different nature. The author, like me, is someone who seems to have been left behind in the increasingly swift changes experienced in the world of technology. Check out, Michael Winerip's "Aging by Megabyte" in Sunday's Times (Generation B) for a perspective on technology and its impact on every day life. It's true I e-mail and blog, but my wife sets it up and I do, what for me, is the easy part–write. Will all of our books be on Kindle in the future? Look what's happened to newspapers. If you don't know what Kindle is, join me in"aging by megabyte!"
