I do love the feel of a "real" book in my hands. That being said, on occasion, I will purchase a book instead of downloading it to my kindle. I have all the hardback copies of Stephen King and will continue to purchase them. I feel an obligation as a "constant reader" to my favorite author. I also like the way they look on my book shelves. Ian actually wrote an essay on this dilemma. You might enjoy reading it.

Considering the statistics of recent college grads that have jobs right now (50% do not have a job or are underemployed) I see why so many are considering graduate work! But at some point they just need to buckle down and do something whether it's in their field or not. Maybe it will cause more young people to learn to communicate better and network more!

Don't get rid of your collection if you're not ready to! But I'm not buying any more books because we're already thinking about downsizing at ages 47/52. Don't want any more stuff to store!

The last hardback I read (11/22/63) I kept wishing it was on the Kindle; you'd feel the same. But you can't live w/o bookshelves!

I did NOT know this about you. I, too, have every hardback of Clancy. Seriously torn about getting the Nook version or going old school and putting that book with its brothers. Can't say enough about having the books with me all the time - but it is satisfying to look at the entire Clancy collection and think about Jack Ryan's exploits.

Oooh, I want to read this. Will it make me want to adopt an orphan because Andy is kind of sick of me reading books like that :)

Thanks for the tips. I especially like the idea of tracking our travel - plan to do that. I already have journals ready for all of us (Bode's isn't lined so he can just draw a picture of each day) and you KNOW I'm bringing the camera!

As for the water...I have heard it's the best thing for jet lag, will keep you from getting dry eyes and skin on the plane (this always happens to me on planes for some reason) and will basically save my life. I know, I know...I'll try to be better this trip :)

Also, thanks for helping us out with the phone. We appreciate it.

Well, the new account doesn't have access to the books purchased on the prior, joint account. But the original account still has them.

We have the same problem, both with the Kindle and the Audible Service. When you split the accounts I assume you lose the content from original account right?

Sounds interesting!

A very innovative way of re-telling the history. It would have been nice if they had overlaid the tweets on a Google Map to show the exact location of the ship at the time of each individual message(tweet).

Happy very belated birthday (I'm just getting caught up on my reading)

I just wanted to thank you for your leadership, I think it's rare to find someone in a company as large as yours also have their pulse on what's happening in consumer technology which usually makes it's way into the enterprise. It's been a pleasure to get to know you.

I have a blog at ptjacksonok.blogspot.com

I think you just need to have someone in your group willing to run around and get fast passes for everybody! Worked pretty well for us...actually we haven't been in 10 years. But I did read the book back then and we did a lot of the things you mentioned. They worked for the most part but I'm sure there's a new theory now.

People rarely appreciate those of us who do the work of figuring out the touring plans in the Unofficial Disney Guide and all that entails. That is, until they try to do DW without it, as you said. We went there years ago and although we had a great time, it was probably the least restful "vacation" I have ever been on. You really have to gear up and stay with it in order not to be in line most of the time. If everyone doesn't buy in, it could easily NOT be the best way to enjoy your family...makes me tired just thinking about it!

Happy Birthday Mark! :)

Great post! This will be a great addition to a discussion for Bible study this morning. One of the questions we are discussing is Gideon and his poor self-image and what practical things we can do to avoid negativity. I Was Blind sounds like a good one for that.

I was one of those kids who didn't feel like they had time to read for enjoyment while in college but did return to reading after I got out and life became a little more routine. So there is hope!
