E-books made Easy with IREX!

I saw this link for a contest about the IREX e-book reader. It compares itself to the Kindle or the Sony ereader. Boy I would love to try it out. I love reading in bed but the lighting leaves alot to be desired. I would love a reader that can be read in bed without bothering anyone. The most important feature in an ereader for me is ability to see it at night to read in bed and ability to get ebooks from different sources (sorry thats two). This sounds like a great reader especially now that all Barnes & Noble ebooks can be used on it. Yahoo. At the website posted below the interview from Kevin Hamilton of IREX discussing the reader is there it is great. http://bookbloggerappreciationweek.com/index.php/site/comments/special_message_from_kevin_hamilton_of_irex/ WOW competition in the ebook reader market sure can only help us consumers get the best choice for our individual lifestyles. I have been longing for an ebook reader for a long time, maybe soon I will jump into the market after some research to see which one is the best fit for me. Right now a contest is going on at http://bookbloggerappreciationweek.com/index.php/site/comments/win_an_ereader_from_irex_technologies/ so go check it out and make your own blog entry and enter the link at Mr. Linky for a chance. Its dated September 14, 2009 its down the page toward the bottom. Good luck to all.

Fiber is great for all!

Now I am not talking about the fiber you eat or the fiber you wear sure those are great for all of us but what about fiber technology! I wish fiber technology was available in all areas especially in my area. It is so much faster than standard cable or DSL. The telecom companies should get on-board with this technology because our population is growing and it seems so many people feel the need for instant information and access so this technology is needed to allow the ability to carry so much infomation quickly. If more companies got into this the cost would go down and that makes it easier for consumers in the long run. There are a few companies out there with this technology (Verizon FiOS and AT&T U-Verse) however it isn't available in most areas.

I currently have the lowest end high-speed DSL, but would sure love to get the faster fiber option. My area was one of the last around here to get the DSL service so I expect it will be one of the last areas to get the fiber technology.

HP Poorer than you contest submission

Hi. This is my submission. I hope you enjoy its a song sung to Clementine! I am NOT a singer and NOT good looking but it was fun. I couldn't get the video to upload to youtube in one shot for some reason on my system it worked and sounded great (well at least you could hear me!) but when it got to youtube is was only 11 sec the first time and the second one was 11 sec too.

Here are links to the two

Well at least you get an idea of what I did. I made them public (boy I hope there are not alot of negative comments--be gentle people firsttimer here!). It was fun. Thanks for the chance.

The words are:

Saving money as a student isn't hard if you try
go to thrift stores even flea markets
and Craigslist for a buy.

Ask your parents or your grandmas
to give you gift cards for food and fun.

Don't get sucked in to using credit cards
you will lose in the end.

Bank on-lin if you can
it will save you interest and late fees
and your time.

Enjoy your school year have some fun
save your pennies you might need them
to buy the next round of beer.

HP Back to School

Back to school is HOT, HOT, HOT!!!
College in Miami Florida is cool -- NOT.
I walked and sweated across campus all the way.
And cursed why did I schedule my classes in the day.
Being from Cleveland the blue skies looked nice.
But staying in the air conditioning made me think twice.
Back to school is time for elders to give some advice.
Use extra deodorant and even then its a roll of the dice.
Who smells worse you or the next guy.
It was me a few times I will not lie.

Stay cool and learn from my tale.
August in Miami is not for the frail.
