Amazon's 'Kindle'...whaddya think?
Comments (14)I've been reading an annotated version online of a book I've read before by the author I love above all others. Even though I'm reading the online version in one of the places I'd read a regular book--in bed--I'm finding I don't have quite the same attention span as I do when I have paper to flip through. I keep hearing that the Kindle (hate the name) is designed to be easier on the eyes/more paper-like than the typical laptop monitor, but I have my doubts. And even if the thing does offer a pleasurable reading experience (can you adjust your type size?), I'm assuming it's too delicate to take to the beach or into the bathtub. And books are better on long trips, because you can buy cheap or used paperbacks and then abandon them (ideally at a hotel book-exchange rack) without guilt. I also wonder if it's likely to be a pain transferring one's favorite books from device to device every time the technology changes (like it's been taking certain docs from big floppies to little floppies to zip to cd or dvd). I do like the idea of saving a few trees. Still, I don't see myself using one--playing with one, maybe....See MoreEclipse Sinks - Anyone have one or an opinion about them?
Comments (7)What's all this talk about Chinees product. Don't they own us enough already. Haven't we learned that they make inferior product and that is why it is so cheap. Have we not heard enough about the lead paint in the toys, the mold in the drywall, etc. Hey check out a US owned company that imports products from a European manufacturer that builds eveything to the exact same qauality standards as the high priced stuff like Blanco and Franke. BUT the pricing is not only less expensive than the other European Brands but also comparable and in many cases less expensive than the Chinees brands like Eclipse.

Comments (6)tansy: when I purchased the sink, the ebay seller did NOT specifically state that the sink was Dawn, but it's ?engraved? onto the sink (on the wall part, under the faucet) in big (?2inches) letters. Now that I remember, I think it was 16gauge on the rim and 18gauge for the sink. Aussie: If someone had warned me about the drainage problem, I would still have gotten the sink, but definitely TEST the drainage thing BEFORE installation (or ASAP so that if it doesn't drain well, I can still return/exchange it. Other than that, I was very happy w/ it. It's a great deal. I would probably get it again (but test/check it asap instead of waiting 3months until the sink was installed under the granite) if I weren't getting a custom one stamped out of the stainless steel countertop....See MoreAmazon Echo/Alexa: Do You Have One???
Comments (45)I really like listening to Pandora on my dot (I have it hooked up to my UE Boom for better sound), and my three-year-old grandson likes being able to ask Alexa to play his favorite songs. I use my dot as a timer when I do washer/dryer loads. I like getting my local weather on demand, and it's so easy to get the weather for anywhere in the country. I love that by using the any.do app I always have my shopping list on my phone. TuneIn radio is handy to get radio stations from across the country, and my local AM channels sound better on TuneIn than on my radio....See Moreplllog
