This is what barista offers in the name of full english. Sadness indeed. The juice was good. The accompanying literature too. Submitted to "full english" because the world needs to know of this travesty.
As we all know ... it's not breakfast unless a pig is slain.

I think I have a weird relationship with my stash. I often want to use up a whole lot of it -- not to make room for more, but just to "free up space" or something. When I'm done the project, I'm often a little disappointed that I still have fabric left over. But the truth is, I know I'd be sad if I used up all of a print I really liked and had no more left. Isn't that absolutely bonkers? (And ha, this must be the closest to a diary entry I've written in years!)
Okay, so Dylan got an Amazon Kindle and wants some sort of sleeve/cozy for it. He wanted this artisan leather cover from Restoration Hardware, but we didn't realize that it was a web-only item 'til we got to the store and couldn't find it. I'm not sure if it was the web-only factor or the $70 price tag that caused him to sheepishly ask me to make one for him, but I don't mind being the runner-up:)
He then mused about Liberty fabric, my patchwork wallet, and a patchwork lunch bag I made for him (both basically composed of tiny scrap rectangles sewn together). By the time we got in the car, I basically knew I was going to use Liberty and Lecien Memoire a Paris scraps to make these HSTs.
Along the way, I thought about a couple of other projects I've really admired over the years: Karyn's patchwork skateboard, Celine's quilt, and Alexia's two amazing doll quilts for Amy. The lining is a vintage Liberty print I received in a swap with Kaye (thanks!).
Oh, and while I did get to bust some scraps, I really should remember that this finished size is only 6.25 x 9" on both sides:)
I may or may not have a job in the pipeline...
This has made it as today's photo as, funnily enough, I took the photo half an hour before I was offered a temporary position in Central London for a month, hence the "start of life" spiel.
The job is only for a month, but I've finally got the ball rolling!
Finally, the Kindle goes international and I am loving it! Here's me in the hammock on my deck reading a thriller by James Rollins that was delivered wirelessly. Brilliant brilliant!
If you like books and gadgets and broken gadgets and books without pictures then okay you should watch this.
A video podcast is available, as are the rest of the Qwick Reviews I've done.

YEA me!!!!

Two days ago, has arrived at my home this new Amazon Kindle Black!
So, I uploaded a new video on YouTube of the Unboxing.
This is my first e-reader and this is so AMAZING for read some books or PDFs.
Have a nice day!
اللهم إني أسألك من خير ما تعلم وأعوذ بك من شر ما تعلم وأستغفرك من كل ما تعلم إنك تعلم ولا نعلم إنك علام الغيوب
O God, I ask You the best things You know, I seek refuge with You from the worst things You know, I ask Your forgiveness of all sins You know. You know and we don't know. Truly, You are the Omniscient of all the unknown. Amen.

During this man's lunch break, his companion is a silicon-based Kindle and nothing else.

Borrowed a brand new Amazon Kindle 2010 for a few minutes to have a look over it and give my impressions. It looks very well put together and even though it is very light it doesn't feel cheap.
The screen is excellent and the refresh rate is a great deal quicker than other e-readers that I have used (Sony etc). The overall experience is very good and the free 3G connectivity is a welcome addition. Will add some more comments on the kindle soon so check out my blog for more information: jonhume.co.uk
Amazing! I've read fifteen books since I received my new Kindle on July 16th!
Even though I love reading this way, REAL books will ALWAYS have a special place in my heart.
I must admit, I do miss seeing these actual books on my bookshelf, but after donating TEN boxes of old novels and paperbacks to Goodwill, and STILL having four bookshelves full, I was forced to admit I needed to turn over a new leaf (so to speak). ;-)
Like anything else, there are pros and cons to the Kindle, but for now, I can't seem to stop reading (and buying!) books for it. As you can see, I haven't been doing any heavy reading - just enjoying mostly thrillers and private detective fiction. I even discovered an author I had never read before, who is terrific. He wrote a series of mystery/thrillers about an American travel writer in Bangkok, Thailand... of all places! He's really quite good - well-written plots, quirky characters and great dialogue. If you like mystery/thrillers, give him a try - Timothy Hallinan is his name.
I just finished reading Freedom, by Jonathan Franz, which was wonderful! It is more of a literary American novel about an American marriage and family . It may not be for everyone, but I loved it! He also wrote The Corrections, which I'm thinking about going back to re-read. He's been called the next Great American Novelist by some, and over-hyped and over-rated by others... you either love his writing or hate it, I guess. I love it.
at the beach. I must admit that I love the amazon kindle ;-) Even on this small island I had connection to the amazon store via 3G/whispernet and could download books. Another advantage is the weight. I never had such a "light" hand luggage.
Lots of photos in the Amazon Kindle group pool are of Kindles with food and drink. This is partly, I think, because sitting down for a nice read also involves a cup of tea (or glass of wine or beer). However, I think the nature of the Kindle - which allows you to use it with one hand, propped up on your knee etc. makes it a really good reading technology for this sort of multi-tasking.

ESCAPE FROM OBLIVION: A Moscow Correspondent's Memoir of the Cuban Missile Crisis
[Kindle Edition] Donald S. Connery (Author)
Publication Date: September 25, 2012
Book Description
ESCAPE FROM OBLIVION: A Moscow Correspondent’s Memoir of the Cuban Missile Crisis is unique among the many books on the singular event in human history that almost ended human history. As one of the most-traveled of all Cold War reporters, Donald S. Connery has produced an extraordinary, highly personal eyewitness account of the frightening thirteen days in late October 1962 that brought the world to the brink of a thermonuclear war.
He reveals that the citizens of the Soviet police state, who were kept in ignorance about the crisis, remained calm while many Americans were in panic. He tells how Russians, “Americans in disguise” as he saw them up close in 1961 and 1962, believed that they were drawing closer to the U.S.A. even as Khrushchev defied Kennedy by carrying out his secret shipments of missiles in Cuba. A recent visitor to the new Russia, the author shatters the myths about who started the crisis and who was the victor.
Donald S. Connery, an independent journalist and author of six books, is a World War II veteran and Harvard graduate who roamed the world for TIME and LIFE magazines during the heyday of their influence in the early Cold War years. He has since pioneered in exposing the magnitude of wrongful convictions in America’s criminal justice system.
This is a side-by-site comparison for the Kindle browsers versions. Both the original Amazon Kindle and it's 2nd version used "NetFront" as its layout engine. The 3rd generation of the product is coming with the "WebKit" layout engine, an open-source project that is being used for many different products, including many mobile devices.
Descriptions:
- 1st screen: Kindle 2 Browser in "Basic Mode", running mobile version of Wikipedia.
- 2nd screen: Kindle 2 Browser in "Advanced Mode", running the main version of Wikipedia.
- 3rd screen: Image capture from Kindle 3 promotional video, showing a decent rendering of Wikipedia.
- 4th screen: Safari 5, based in WebKit (the same layout engine as the Kindle 3 Browser).
Highlights:
- There is a scroll-bar, instead of a page count ("Page 1 of ..."), this gives the browser a familiar face, instead of using the old "stack of printed pages" analogy.
- The Wikipedia logo is loaded via CSS, the Kindle 2 Browsers was not able to retrieve it.
- The captured screen doesn't have resolution to analyze the typography, but even blurred we can see that the font distribution looks a log like Safari's.
- The Kindle 3 e-ink screen has 16 shades of gray, It is not possible to see if the Wikipedia sidebar got the lightest shade or not.
Notes:
- This Wikipedia article was captured in different dates, and probably different revisions.
- You can see a few more screens from Kindle 3 Browser in Amazon's support page.
