When you were younger, my boy, you loved books. Any time someone was sitting, you would grab any sort of picture book you could find, climb in their lap and sit with an air of expectation. Somewhere around the time you learned to read yourself, that interest waned. Sitting still wasn't something you enjoyed and the stories just didn't seem to be interesting enough to you.
Comic books ok. Graphic novels would work if forced. Captain Underpants and The Diary of a Wimpy Kid were quick and enjoyable forays into reading for you. But any sort of in-depth story, you'd read for a few chapters and then find a different, "better", thing to do with your time.
Sometime in the middle of last fall, one of your closest school buddies couldn't stop talking about Percy Jackson. He loved those books. You reluctantly decided to give them a try.
It was the first chapter book you had read all the way through because you WANTED to. You got to the end of the first book and dove right into the second. By the end of the series, you had the saddest, mopiest face I have ever seen - you had found books you actually liked reading, but now they were over.
But you had been hooked. You finally understood that it wasn't that all books were boring, just that you didn't know what kinds of books you liked.
You are determined to make it to the 500,000 word mark for this quarter. Previous quarters, you've barely nudged the 100,000 word mark. This quarter has been different. You've suddenly become a reader again. And with two weeks left to go, you've hit the 425,000 word mark.
I could NOT be more proud of you than I am right now.

They showed a prototype.
It includes WLAN, is based on an embedded Linux and is supposed to be cheaper than Sony’s reader.
It also features a Wacom touchscreen and a WebKit based browser.
They told me they are planning to release an open source friendly SDK soon.

Digital drawing done on an iPad Air with Pen & Ink app, based on part of a photo. Many of these lines were invented in obscured areas, dark shadows, and fuzzier parts of the photo. My guess is that this man was sitting on a bus or subway. His hand is on his knee partly to avoid contact with the man sitting on his right, who I've left out of my drawing (which is different from the photo also in other ways). Obviously a very amateur effort, but stll a interesting visual challenge for me to translate the photo clues into some sort of drawing. A more skillful drawing would probably give less attention to folds and wrinkles in fabric and flesh.
Here's the photo this drawing is based on:

Caffe Capri, Parkcenter, Boise Idaho, about 7 am. I was struck by how wrapped up she was in her book and iced coffee, so early in the morning. while everyone else was rushing in and out. (That's why I took it from this angle). Despite appearances, it was taken with permission. She told me the book was 'Disclosure' by Michael Crichton.

outside the church by the sea, I think the view through the scaffolding on the right is towards the sea.

I like the situation when you have just one chance to capture such an image. It will be amazing to know that after the first shot, everything will be changed and your subject will move.
