Browsing for things I don't need on Ebay while watching documentary film. #
I don't care if my kindle is now found in the transitional technology bin, it's still a great way to read a book. Especially if books < $10. #

I watched four movies this week in airplanes; The Time Traveler’s Wife, District 9, All About Steve & Love Happens.

Two of those movies were pretty good. You can guess which ones I liked.

None of them were any good compared with the movie I saw tonight – Gran Torino.

Imagine the US with a third branch of congress, more powerful than the senate, which represented only corporations http://bit.ly/7iGzVw #
I love watching karaoke, but I have never yet sung a song myself. Will this change for me when I visit Korea? What song should I pick? #

It's time to think about building that 3D printer I have always dreamed of. #
