« Hands on with the Kindle and the Sony Reader | Main

Up early

I’ve been trying to get this blog off the ground for some time, but life keeps getting in the way. Finally, I decided the only way it will happen is if I get up half an hour earlier each day and take that time to write, hence the title.

Oh, but no guarantees I’ll manage that early start every day. My plan is to post a couple of times a week, unless I’m deluged with interesting new things to write about.

Amazon Kindle & Sony Reader
Right now, I’m deluged. I have a couple of pieces of hardware burning holes on my desk that I’ll talk about in the next few entries: the Kindle (Amazon’s brand new ebook reader) and the Eye-Fi Card, a wireless enabled memory card for digital cameras. I’ve also been using a Sony Reader for half a year or so, so look for my head-to-head comparison of it and the Kindle in the next few days. (Click the image to get a look at the two side by side.)

For those of you familiar with the Geekgirl’s site, you’ll notice things look quite different around here. Geekgirl’s has been up and running since 1996 and looking pretty much the same since about 1998. I guess it’s about time I updated.

I’ll gradually be moving content across from the old site to this one, so look for an expanding list of sections in the navigation links on the right, and forgive the dust.

A great blog to browse. When do you get time to sleep and eat?

Thanks, Dawn, I'm glad you like the blog.

Fortunately, I have less need for sleep in my advancing years, otherwise I'd only get a fraction of the things I want to do done. In fact, I still only get a fraction of 'em done!
