AmazonKindle - do I buy myself an Xmas present?!

Friday, November 30th, 2007

Gosh, I have been waiting for so long for someone to finally release a product like AmazonKindle. And here it is!

AmazonKindle
*clapping, overwhelmed with joy*

I can’t wait to eliminate all the paper books from my life. Despite their retro charm, I actually passionately despise them for being so heavy and occupying an obscene amount of space. Not to mention all the wasted trees.

Yet, I might wait.

First of all, I think that a big part of the $400 cost is pumped by the novelty factor. Moreover, there is no serious competition on the market just yet. Not to mention the marketing expenses? Which, unfortunately, are not even generating quite enough buzz… let’s just say that people will not be eager to drastically change so quickly habits that took millenniums to build. Especially for $400.

And second, I actually secretly wish that Apple will marry Google and strike back with a KindleTouch soon enough :-) In color! Touch-screen scroll, flipping pages, and finger zoom, baby!!! Just imagine the possibilities…

It is undeniable that iPhone has set a new standard out there. For $400 unit price Amazon might as well have made the toy sleek-looking and spoiled the user a little more?

Hello and welcome!

So, my site is fiiiiiinally up!

Still might need to do some more ironing up on the code but I couldn’t wait any longer!

I have been so busy with so many other things, and will continue to be; yet having a place to post updates and keep in touch with friends was long overdue. I hear quite a few people often complain from wondering if I am still alive… I think they will appreciate this website the most ;-)

For those of you who know me from Flickr - I will continue to post my artistic work there; here you might see more “by-the-way” kind of pictures, outtakes and mostly snapshots. At least for now I plan to keep this site simple.

Soo anyway… welcome all, and hopefully I’ll see you around :-)
