Another reason to love my recently created igoogle: the featured video today on Youtube was Fol Chen's "Cable TV". Just last night I added a few tracks from them into the Airwave format. (Listen tonight at 9 pm Eastern @ wrhu.org or 88.7FM in the New York area)
In today's New York Times there is an article about Kindle, another electronic book reading tablet. As a traditionalist and avid book worm, it smarts when new technology replaces what I am used to - a physical old fashioned book in your hand. I can't help but admit how cool the Kindle sounds though. The screen makes the pages appear authentic, and downloading books is cheaper than buying the hard copy (NY Times bestsellers around $10, older books between $3 and 6$). However, Pogue does make the point that traditional books could never be replaced: "you can't pass on or sell an e-book after you've read it." Yet again, as far as technology will take us and threaten the replacement of favorite pasttimes, traditionalists will always stick around - and you can never beat a classic. oh yeah --- i got a wave and a hi.
