Look what Santa brought me!


A Kindle ebook reader! It's awesome. I've been very busily listening and reading books for the last few days. I've also joined an audiobook service called Audibile and a the library service called Overdrive. It's so cool to be able to tuck the thin little tablet in my purse and take a virtual library along with me while I'm out and about. And the text to speech feature is super cool, even if it does sound oddly like Stephen Hawkings. But the coolest thing I think is the fact that you can put pdfs on it. I've downloaded a ton of sewing and knitting patterns, no more trying to keep up with a paper pattern. Woo Hoo! Love the Kindle!

Trying to get more technical

This is a test. I'm trying to learn how to post hyperlinks. Thanks to Samantha who I know from this site I've finally entered into the 21st century.

Can't teach an old dog new tricks

I'm technologically challenged, did I tell you that? Well, I am. Dh got me a new camera for Christmas and I've been trying to use it, but it's so confusing to try to learn a new toy. So...today I was on ebay and I found a charger for $20 for my old camera. Well, of course I bought it. I know...but maybe I'll keep that camera in my purse and take more out and about pix. I don't know the idea of a new tech toy just feels me with dread. You're talking to the girl who waited a year to open her IPOD, who's yet to use her PDA that she got 2 christmases ago. I'm just a simple gal, ya know?
