New things #1:
From time to time, I’ll throw in a post on new stuff showing up here; 99% are books, in whatever format. I intend on spending a good deal of the day relaxing and reading and resting. I’ve been either on full-steam-ahead or sick-as-a-dog for a while, with no chance to just kick back, and I badly need it. Besides, I’m still catching up on sleep; the damn bed in my room was a auto-inflate that would constantly re-adjust, which was like trying to sleep while the bed tries to randomly massage and adjust you ALL the time. Very very distracting (poke-poke-prod-aaaaaaargh) for a light sleeper like me.
The scanner I’d talked about earlier is here, and I need to set it up; looks absurdly portable. Also here is a set of good headphones with a mike in them. Gamers may use this for World of Warcraft and the like (sure, I need another time sink like I need a hole in the head) but I intend a different purpose set:
- to listen to music in my office while I work on the computer, or
- to shut out Mere and a friend or cousin watching TV or playing in the library (there’s no door between the rooms in our basement), or
- to use the voice-recognition software for writing documents.
Newegg had sales on both with free shipping; the headphones were about half price and well rated.
