I've been home and contemplating what kind of stuff to post here now that I'm not on the road. I also have taken a look at this blog software and found a setting to make it easier for people to post comments without having an ID. So don't be afraid, I can always delete your comments if I don't like them :-)
New gadget purchased in the last couple of weeks. I purchased a Kindle 2 off the Amazon site. It's the geek factor, I don't read enough books to ever get it paid off with lower book costs. To cost justify it I'd have to read hundreds of books, but that isn't why I got it. Walking around with a Kindle makes me think we are closer to attaining the Star Trek dream. You never see paper on Star Trek, but we are really a long way from it in reality. Unless you own a Kindle, then you can pretend it's the 22nd century. Some other time I'll let you know the pros and cons of this thing. Anyway, while surfing around the Amazon site I find where I can publish my own book. Now there's an idea, I can publish my own book with no up front costs on my part. That sounds like a good second career. I'll start writing books. I only have to learn how to read, then how to write, then come up with an idea for a book and finally write the book. When Diane, my wife, came home from work I told her about my idea of writing a book. Well, her response was 'So what time today did you start drinking?' Wow, I just opened my first beer when she got home. Guess that wasn't much of a vote of confidence.
Speaking of voting, I also found a gadget I can add to my blog to take polls. So I'm giving you a chance to put your two cents worth on the subject. I'm hoping anyone can vote and you won't need an ID, but of course I didn't test it. So good luck.
