Kind of hit a stand still on posts here. Not that there isn’t anything to post about. But for awhile I got so busy that posting just stopped. I also stopped giving a damn about the money making posts.

Why? I thought about it. There are different levels of posters, some have lower level blogs like mine that no one really looks at. Just valuable for the search engine links and helping someone else’s site become more popular. Us dredge, get paid a bit for our posts but the real money comes from people who have actual content on their site. That is why I started this blog. I wanted to have a forum in which I could post my writings of actual stories, not my day to day activities, and maybe receive some feedback. Hopefully, someday, I would have enough material to print a book. Somehow along the way the path deviated from the goal, the purpose.

I suppose there is some original content here, but not enough to make me proud. I even stopped promoting the site. Well, I would like to get back to it, back to the purpose of it all. Even if the stories make no sense I should post them. Someone will like them…right?

Not much in the way of press about this but all of a sudden this kindling has turned into a fire. Amazon has brought E-ink digital paper technology to the backpack and reading chair overnight. The Kindle is sort of like a notebook and sort of like a paperback, but not. It uses Amazon’s Whispernet to download new volumes, books, newspapers, blogs etc. It even has Wikipedia access. The display is readable in all types of lighting that normal paper is readable in. I can’t describe how cool this is so you will have to check it out yourself.

These companies burn my ass like a fire about 3 feet high. They offer Veteran’s Day discounts anywhere from 20-50% ‘in honor of those that serve’ However! If one of ‘those that serve’ were to walk into the store any other day and ask if they have a Veteran’s discount they would get a solid ‘no’. Whatever happened to Veteran’s Discounts?

This time I reviewed the Logitech QuickCam Pro for Notebooks. It’s an awesome little piece of technology. Go here to read more.
