So, in my last post, I lamented about not posting movie, book or even my reviews of my e-reader, the nook. So here is an all in one post. This summer Barnes and Noble offered free classic e-book collections every week. While I had downloaded a lot of these from Project Gutenberg the books downloaded […]

I just noticed that I have not done a movie review in quite some time. They I started to wonder if I actually saw any movies recently. I think I did, there were a few shows I wanted to see, but did I ever get to any? Hmmm, I’ll need to try to remember. I

It seems like I haven’t had the time to blog as much as I’d like to lately. Put it this way – Halloween ended over a week ago now, and I still have a draft sitting here detailing how my family spent what’s probably our 2nd favorite holiday. I think I will quickly summarize and
