Not So Kind(le)
Posted in Computing, Random Thoughts, Rants, Technology
Out of a spark of curiosity I attempoted to order Amazon’s Kindle from Amazon.com. Not because it is such a great thing that rockets human civilization to the next level, but because I am a helpless early-adopter and Gadgetinator. Now I only wish I was in an US prison. Because of that. ‘Nuff said.

My somewhat World Record(s)
Posted in Games, Reports
Actually I set up these records back in August but since late October they are verified by the referees and are now official: I am the world’s best Dr. Mario player (Super Nintendo version) and world’s number 4 in Tetris (GameBoy) as can be inspected here at Twin Galaxies. -

The
PortalPostal System Works! Posted in Dear Diary, ReportsI already suspected that the guy I ran over with my car last week was the post man. That would explain the big void in my mailbox that corresponds to the big void on my bank account. The whole week I was expecting packs and parcels but nothing arrived. Not even advertisements.

The Legion
Posted in Dear Diary, Random Thoughts
Last evening I watched an interesting documentary on TV about the French Foreign Legion. If everything goes wrong in my life, I was pondering, then I’ll join them! Leaving everything behind, getting a new name, a new identity, even a new meaning perhaps.
