So far, and it’s only the 11th, this is the best thing I’ve figured out about 2011: How to read library books on my iPad. When I first bout the iPad, I could not find a way to read library books on it. I had a feeling that would change eventually. In an attempt to [...]

My first book review is up at Satan’s Bookclub. I’ve reviewed Frank Portman’s YA novel Andromeda Klein, a book I thoroughly enjoyed. But that’s not what Satan’s Bookclub is about, is it?

Business Matters

I apologize, I’ve been more interested in working on my new blog design, then actually blogging. And I wish I could say that I’ve been working on it diligently. I was. But then I decided I needed to watch all three seasons of Veronica Mars again. It happens. At least we’ve had a run through [...]
