After trying several free off-line feed readers, I settled on FeedDemon and paid for the service. Since then, it’s been indispensable to me because I keep in touch with odd technologies and have my pulse on the news media. Especially, since I don’t have a cable subscription, I need to get my news fix somewhere. 🙂 Needless to say, having my finger on certain blogs can be irritating especially on the eve of a certain company’s launch of a product *hint*iPhone. It was all I could do to keep from screaming. How someone can spend that much on a phone is beyond me. I’d rather invest in buying a DSLR camera than waste that much money on a device that a glorified iPod. That’s the price as a darned Laptop these days! It galls me to no end especially when I see people use it as a status symbol. The sad part is that those people will never even use the iPhone’s full capabilities. It’s a damn shame, but their damned prerogative.
In other news, I’ve just finished reading 2 books by Erich Segal titled “Doctors” and “Acts of Faith“. They were both incredibly moving and I love his style of story telling. I’m currently a 3rd titled “Prizes” and it sounds very promising. Paul has a library of really good books and I’m just scraping the surface. Once I’m done with the library, I’ll scour his library of DVDs next. 🙂 Another thing that has been on my mind pertains to etiquette after an interview and especially after a request for one’s references & particulars has been made. This happened for me over a week ago and I haven’t heard anything back. My initial instincts are that I didn’t get the job which would suck. However, I’m sorely tempted to just make an inquiry to confirm that the death knell has been sounded. I hate no knowing and I’m apparently on the verge of being plunged into not-knowing-ness. Ahh, c’est la vie.
