I will be posting a live video feed at 3 PM Eastern today. In the video I will be juggling live cats during my lunch break.
If you do not see the video, just hit refresh until it appears.
Say hi to my new friend.
After a long search, I’ve selected what was my original crush: the Kindle DX.
Why? I read articles, blog posts, and PDFs. Lots of them. The Kindle is the premier device that is tried and tested by the gadget and publishing industries’ harshest critics. The DX has a larger screen and can handle the different maps, graphs, tables and Web pages in no-frills fashion. Through the use of the glorious Instapaper, I can save articles during the day and read them from the comfort of my Kindle in the evening.
But.. but.. but the iPad!
The iPad is overrated. I addressed my concerns the day it was released. Plus, I want a reading device. One that I can charge once every few weeks, take on trips, and hold comfortably in bed. I don’t need a catch-all device.
In the future (the not so far future) I foresee Apple working out the kinks in the iPad, producing a more attractive package in a second generation iPad or iMacSlate or iWhatever. When that happens, the $500+ price tag will be much more attractive. For now, the iPad ain’t killing the Kindle.
In addition, I work at dot-com… I stare at my computer 9+ hours a day at work alone, not to mention the time I spend working and playing on my computer when I get home. The thought of another LED back-lit screen makes my eyeballs itch.
The Kindle may turnout to be a piece of crap device that I see no value in and rarely use. Or, the Kindle may save my eyeballs and keep me off the computer. (That would make me happy.)
No matter the case, I’ll keep you updated as time progresses.
This is brilliant and perfect for any LOST party you might be hosting. My favorite are the Pringles cans.
Mark Driscoll and Adrian Warnock talk about the resurrection from Adrian Warnock on Vimeo.
A good conversation between Adrian Warnock and my pastor Mark Driscoll on the Resurrection of Jesus.
The primary point: A Christian is one won who believes in the resurrection, and lives with the implications of that.
I would highly recommend picking up Driscoll’s new book Doctrine. However, if you enjoy video more, the Doctrine series sermons are here for free.
A round up of articles from Steve Forbes’ visit to Mississippi College this week.
Timely nugget from this article.
“That jacket needs to be on the back of the office chair at 8 at night because everyone is trying to prove that they’re indispensable.”
It’s been a while since Walker County had people go missing in the Lake.
An interesting site while eating ice cream.
Another record crowd at the Sounders game, Thursday. And in the middle of March Madness, no less.
Ran into Drew Carey last night before the Sounders opening game. Carey comes to every “March to the Match” and is one of the owners of the club, so it’s normal for him to be at every game. It’s just surreal to see him in person.
Classy guy. Stood in the middle of the crowd grinning from ear to ear, completely willing to take a photo with anyone who asked.
A glorious live version from Under Great White Northern Lights.
The title alone gives me chills, and nearly brings a tear to my eye… I’m not joking. Watching this guy in-person is so exciting that you truly appreciate how lucky a team is to have someone like Ichiro.
Sports Illustrated: There has never been a player like Ichiro, and there likely never will
OMG, it’s soccer season. Game will be on ESPN2 for those of you who wish to attempt to get hooked as well.
What can Sounders FC do for an encore?
With record-breaking attendance and U.S. Open Cup championship, not to mention a playoff berth, achievements came quickly last season. The excitement surrounding Seattle’s rookie campaign had some fans saying it was the best season anyone could have hoped for.
Don’t know how I completely missed this article in TIME: Is Stumptown the New Starbucks — or Better?
If you’ve been a reader of this blog for more than 6 minutes you’re well aware of our passion for the coffee roaster. Anyone who visits Seattle in my presence is subject to a mandatory trip to one of the 2 locations. Still waiting to hear from you NYCers about the Ace Hotel location.
Warning: If you like Starbucks, you won’t like Stumptown… at first. Why? Your (my, us, ours) taste buds begin to think that coffee is candy (enter: too much vanilla, whip cream, gallons of chocolate syrup) due to our Starbucks upbringing, therefore you shun the “perfectly roasted but without any candy sprinkles” coffee before you.
I was going to do a post on the Biblical references in last night’s episode, but that would take too long.
Oh, brother. It’s going to be a fun finish.
