Upgraded To NOOKcolor

Posted on January 13, 2011 by Beau

I upgraded to a NOOKcolor from the original NOOK. I’m glad I decided to upgrade. Not only can I now read in lower lighted areas, but I can view magazines in full color and view full websites.

The original NOOK didn’t display images and websites all that well. One drawback on the color version though,  is that it doesn’t have 3G. No bigger, as I can tether it to my Droid X for 3G when I don’t have wireless available.

I hope Barnes & Noble adds more apps in the future, because this is a great tablet.

Recently Purchased a nook

Posted on September 21, 2010 by Beau

I recently purchased a Barnes & Noble nook (affiliate link). I had originally ordered a Kindle from Amazon, but after being back ordered for two weeks, i decided to check out the nook.

I like the size of the nook, and it’s very easy on the eyes. I bought the 3G/wifi model. I have to say i’m addicted to it. I’ve even spent less time on the computer because of it. I read a full book in two to three days.

It definitely won’t replace my Audible account, because i still listen to audio books in the car.

The only thing i don’t care for on the nook is the web browser. The e-ink makes websites look like crap. Then again, i could always buy a tablet pc if i wanted to browse the web on something that size. Which I’ll probably do anyway once a decent Android based tablet comes out.

Anyway, if you like reading and don’t want a crapload of books taking up shelf space, check out the nook or Kindle (affiliate links).

New Aquaria Blog Coming

Posted on September 14, 2010 by Beau

I’ve decided to create a seperate blog for my aquaria stuff. I’ve already secured a new domain name for it, i just need to build the site.

I’m not abandoning this blog. I just thought it would be better if the aquaria stuff was seperate.

I’ll update once the new blog is up and running.

Kittens Adopted

Posted on September 1, 2010 by Beau

47953 430021379620 634949620 4763644 5949980 n 300x169 Kittens AdoptedLast week I adopted two 4 1/2 month old kittens from the county animal shelter just down the street. I went with my mother to pick two out and i found Squeek (boy) and Sneezy (girl).

I wasn’t able to take them home until this last tuesday, because they hadn’t been spayed/neutered yet. So they had surgery Monday.  Unfortunately, when i picked them up, they both had upper respiratory infections. So they came home with a prescription. They’re still sneezing and are somewhat congested, but I took them to the vet yesterday for a checkup, and the vet said to finish the medication, and if they get worse, bring them back.

I think they’ll be better in no time.

Theme Problems

Posted on August 25, 2010 by Beau

Looks like my theme is acting up again. The sidebars and comments are showing up on the single post pages.

I’ve been thinking about going to a more simpler theme. The new default theme looks nice. I might change to that this week.

Update: I’ve changed the theme to the WordPress 2010 theme.  Still tweeking it though.
