Amazon's Kindle and my slow techno-upgrade.

-
Well here I am in sunny...wait rainy...no tornado-y Chicago. I have purchased the Amazon Kindle and it is revitalizing my information assimilation almost to overload. I am reading more AND learning more about more! electronic books are just the ground level here. The New York Times is delivered daily at 03:30.I can cross reference blogs which are footnoted with sources via the internet. and switching between all of these is seamless.

One moment I'm digesting the Times BAM! The next; fact checking on websites BAM! Looking at updated political blogs WHOA! Then shoot over to my books (currently "CIA briefings of Presidential Candidates" by John L. Helger) to relax and eventually I must do something in the "real world".

The Kindle is awesome and I should be getting residuals from Jeff Bezos the way I am moving these units. I am already responsible for three Kindle sales in Cirque du Soleil and I have two more on deck. Great for touring life and researching material.

Enough for now.

Just simple typing and either uploading into word processor of choice or directly plugging into printer and printing as a stand alone. This device runs on three AA batteries per year on average and weighs very little so I can take this solid little helper anywhere. The Neo has really multiplied my output. This is the first blog to be written on the device so we’ll see how easily it goes, but as far as writing lyrics and chapters the Neo is superb. On a writing related note I have completed four chapters of my upcoming book about ME. My favorite subject! Publishers are already interested. Finally people can access the nitty gritty bizarre development of my ...

What's a "Shriner"?

Some people have seen Shriners in parades driving tiny cars or wearing their emblem the red fez hat which makes them noticeable in any situation, but many do not know the origins of this fraternity. In 1870 a group of Freemasons in Manhattan, NY would meet for lunch and fellowship. They formed a club dedicated to fun and fraternity to balance the austere work of self advancement performed in the Masonic Lodge. They took it upon themselves to collect money and donate it to a charitable cause. In time they wanted their own organization to focus their funds into to help children in need of medical operations. Children born with clef lips, spinal problems, and those harmed in burns are all given the opportunity to live a more full life through medical enhancement and surgeries paid for by the Shriners of North America. My introduction to this great fraternity came after I had already been active in Freemasonry for seven years. I was initiated through the "Hot Sands" Ceremonial in...
