Lamb of God

One thing I love about Zune is that for $15 a month you get all the music in the world (almost). The great thing about that is you get to hear music you wouldn’t even think of buying. I got to say Lamb of God is pretty good.

Am I doomed?

gameshipped

So here I am loving my Kindle reading some great books and Gamefly ships me out Fallout 3. I don’t have time to play Fallout 3 right now. Is this game going to consume all my free time?

Marian is moving to the USA!

SnowAt what felt like an eternity my wife is finally able to move to the states! Less than a month away the two of us will be back together.

Hopefully it will have stopped snowing by then unlike today.

Who knew I liked reading so much.

Kindle StoreSo since I purchased the Amazon Kindle, I’ve been reading non stop. The funny thing is even with the Sony Reader I didn’t read so much. So is this just me trying to justify the extra cost I had to fork out, or is that I am actually enjoying reading? To be honest I’m really enjoying the books.

One of the best features of the Kindle is the book store, the second you finish one book you can jump right in and start reading the next one. Along with that, the prices are pretty reasonable for the most content. Anything less than a year old you are likely looking at $10, but all else is around the $7 to $5 mark.

Another nice feature of the Kindle is the news papers. You can pick up the Seattle Times or the Irish Times every day. In fairness I’ve only picked up a couple, I still relay on the web for my news, but at weekends some of the opinion columns are a good read. That and reading a bit of home is also nice.

I guess another reason I’m loving reading at the moment has to come down to the fact the books are pretty good. I have to thank Julien for introducing me to Peter F. Hamilton. I’ve been getting a uber geek urge for some good sci fi and trawling through Netflix I think I’ve pretty much seen every half decent sci fi movie ever made. So reading sci fi books has opened up a whole new avenue for me.
