Brushing up on Tech skills that I have let slip

I have currently been trying to catch up on some tech skill that I have been letting slip for a while now and have found some wonderful free online classes from CNET, a leading news company specializing in technical news and reviews.

Currently in a class for blogging, seeing what I can learn and whats hip in the area of blogging is my hope.

The Wise Man's Fear (The Kingkiller Chronicle, Day 2)

Just found out that the second of the Kingkiller Chronicles will be out in April, I'm so glad that I don't have a long wait for it

ebook readers w/ e-ink

Sony vs. Kindle

Ok so I've heard all the hype about the Kindle ebook reader using e-ink, but frankly i'm mystified, its awful looking, hard to hold, and just seems more like a beta-product then anything else. The Sony ebook reader though is nice looking, a lot easier to hold for long periods of time and they put as much screen on the device as they could with the buttons being along the edges and out of the way (for someone that likes to hold they book with their left hand at least), this just makes sense to me, I want to read a book not type why all the space for the keyboard on the kindle?

You decide, Sony ebook 1st, Kindle 2nd.
