It Has Been a Garfield Monday(tm)

Brainfog and a sugar hangover. I am barely able to read and thinking is right out. The most I can do is trade twitter quips and I'm sure that they even make sense. It's SOS (same old sh*t)...I have been stressed which makes me not sleep which makes me foggy and in pain which makes me crave sugar...which starts the cycle over again.

I have been investigating different ebook things...vook is a company that has released ebooks containing video enhancements...the book reader rocks. Horizontal rather than vertical. The video distracted me, but it is going to be great for non-fiction and textbooks.

Haven't really been into reading on the blackberry, but I just discovered that shortcovers is a nice interface. Read a trashy novel while we were playing d&d last night...

Adobe digital is a nice format for EPub and I can get Sony and B&N ebooks as well.

As far as ebook readers go, my ACER Aspire fills the bill perfectly...it's not limited nor is it a dedicated appliance...the kindle and its equivalents, while lovely geek toys, aren't functional enough.

Currently reading/have just read: trashy Shortcover novel called Irresistable Forces by Brenda Jackson, Psmith, Journalist by P.G. Wodehouse, The Creative Edge by Brent D. Taylor (analog version), Great Expectations by Dickens (switch between digital and analog editions).

Currently wishing I was at: The Sixth International Conference on Preservation of Digital Objects

I discovered it on twitter from a tweet by @JMarkOckerbloom. Apparently one of the things they are talking about is preserving and archiving virtual worlds and since I got on the net before the Interwebz was widely known, through the portal of alt.callahans, I found this very interesting.

If I ever get the nerve I am going to dive into my Evernote account and clear out my Delicious
bookmarks and try to unclutter and organize my stuff. And work on ways to combine my interest in All of the Above, so doing them won't just be a waste of time.
