For folks with a tablet or other kind of e-reader, the public library is a bit different. For one thing, it’s mainly in cyberspace and browsing the virtual shelves takes more than a little getting used to. On the plus side, it’s open 24/7 and if a title is available for lending, you can be perusing it within moments of making your selection.
I’ll admit that the virtual library has other differences from the public library – for instance, most of the titles have a shorter loan period and if you place an item on hold, it is extremely likely that it will be made available to you when you simply have no time for it. But browsing the shelves is a bit easier as you can use the tools of cyberspace to narrow your search to exactly what you want. I managed to download and read 4 books in a week’s time.
So if you have a tablet or similar device, I suggest you go online and discover your library again. After all, that’s what it’s there for.
Yes, it’s almost Halloween and good luck finding any Halloween candy among all of the Christmas displays. Fortunately, no one ever visits our house. Maybe it’s because of our location – there’s a lot of screaming going on next door. Roller-coasters have that effect on people.
Seemed like a good idea at the time.
True story. I once had a rental car with a GPS. Decided to get it to tell me where I was and where I needed to go. The thing claimed I was in the middle of the ocean.
I do not own an iPad, nor do I have any other tablet. But I have friends who do. This one is for them.
It’s amazing how “Angry Birds” has taken the country by storm. Now they have plush toys and they’re even in a TV commercial. Do you think it’s too late for my versions of the game?
You know what they say, when the cat’s away…
I wonder how the dog can hold the game controller without any thumbs?
Why is it that media storage is advancing faster than my ability to gather it? First there was VHS tapes and then came DVD’s. For some obscure reason, the new release of the complete Star Wars collection is only available on Blue Ray. Like I really want to scrap my current DVD collection and start over with Blue Ray. When that happens, that’ll be the time the next big thing comes out, won’t it?
The second part of how the two protagonists in this weekly webcomic formed their relationship. Enjoy.
(Apologies to Dexy’s Midnight Runners) Yes, while we managed to avoid there serious impact of Hurricane Irene, but it has still separated me from the tools I need to make my comic. Keep your fingers crossed and come back next week!
I am sure there are many out there who have questions about the characters in the comic. What is that creature? Where did he come from? And what is his name?
I’m not promising I’ll answer all of your questions (especially if you never take the time to communicate them to me) but I’ll try to cover some of them over the next few weeks. See you soon!
