So I recently got
on the Kindle wagon, we got a new printer at Christmas that has wireless
printing and I can even print from my phone, and we now have a new blue ray DVD
player that we can get movies via Wi-Fi from Netflix. Finally getting into this
century with our electronics!!! What does this have to do with anything you
ask?
Well, the printer
not much except besides not being very electronic or computer savvy; I am quite
proud of myself for setting it up and happy to have more space on my desk since
the 1 new printer now takes care of what I had 2 printers doing before (my
portable one to print and our almost 10 year old one to scan as it wouldn’t
print or copy anymore and the portable one doesn’t have a scan option).
The Kindle, I am
now able to download and search for books on my phone. Although I have to say that I
am a real book junkie (as the stacks
around my bed, in the office, and around the house will attest). I like to hold
them, mark the pages, highlight and make notes. All of which I know you can
sort of do with Kindle but I am a bit old school, and yes, I use pencil and
multiple colors of highlighters. But, the phone and thus the Kindle are always
with me, convenient.
The blue ray
DVD/Netflix situation is allowing us to catch up on movies that we have missed
for the last decade (yes, we are that behind) with just a few button pushes…no
waiting for things to arrive in the mail.
That being said I
would like to share with you a few things I have been reading and watching lately,
