Kindle now iPod App. That’s going to sell a lot of books for Amazon.
It makes sense, considering that not everyone wants a Kindle. On the other hand, everyone already has an iPod.
And it’s free. I haven’t read too much about the application so far, but I am interested in how it syncs up with your Kindle, in terms of bookmarks and highlighting.
It is screenshots like this that make me want to play the incredibly unforgiving EVE Online. I mean, it’s just awesome.
It’s not that it’s a hard game, it’s that lots of people play it at once. There are no servers, only one concurrent universe where everyone plays the game. They recently set a record. 45, 186 players at once.
A relatively large player base means that in the Player versus Player environment of EVE, there could possibly be 45,185 people out there trying to kill you at once.
I just picked up a Nokia e71.
Currently it’s in the “new toy” phase of gadget ownership. I’m enamored of its styling and snappy performance. Battery life is probably not indicative of real world performance as I am constantly fiddling with it. I’ve uploaded a video and a pic to flickr as a test and it went well. I didn’t realize that it was 3G until I checked flickr and everything was up there.
I imagine that there will be a lot more pictures being uploaded in the near future. Camera still has that purple characteristic of all E71 pictures, but I find that switching to the black and white settings for the camera negates that particular issue.
I really like the keyboard.
Going to see about using the FM radio tomorrow and then testing the GPS, possibly with geotagging photos.
Was slightly surprised when a phone call came through and it spoke the name of my contact. Neat, but probably going to turn that off straight away.
It’s an apt title. It’s the game you’ve played before, in space. There are asteroids to mine, pirate ships to fight, and lasers and missiles to fend them off with.
It’s like a condensed version of Sins of a Solar Empire, if Sins were strictly a tower defense game. (Although, with the new expansion, “Entrenchment” it could be argued that it is a glorified version of tower defense. But that’s another post.)
It’s fun, and a good way to spend some time at work, when one finds themself the only member of their department that made it in due to the weather.
Today was that rarest of lazy Sundays where the day felt long, but I didn’t mind because I had nothing to do.
I even woke up late, around ten-thirty in the morning. Had some tea. Found out flickr was having some difficulties. Listened to my music. Had some more tea. Watched it snow for a while. Thought about a snow day. Waited for everyone else to get up. Watched Hard Target. Had some ice cream. Sold an iPod Shuffle. Went home. Did groceries. Watched snow. Had dinner. Had some more tea.
It’s been a long, good day.
I hope that everyone else had one as well.
