eBook Readers and Oh, Yeah, Passion...

 The Passion Test: The Effortless Path to Discovering Your Life Purpose

Passionate people burn up faster. 

That's why when it comes to cooking, using the slow and consistent glow of a blue flame is better at getting the job done than a super nova heated white fire.

It's been 24 days since I last wrote here and my, my, a lot has happened really. I've got a gazillion pictures and hours of videos to edit about what has been happening over at resort ville, but found myself terribly conflicted.

Fate, destiny, calling are some of the most overrated words that have floated about the consciousness of mankind ever since he was able to invent well, words. They don't take into light the myriad of possibilities and alternative instances that each course of action could take.

Anyway, back to Earthly matters, I have set myself with the goal of procuring a wireless electronic reading device for my kid's upcoming birthday. The kindle is a shoo-in but my sister told me that it takes 3 months for anything to ship out from Amazon.com. Come to think about it, the only things that I purchase online are domains. I haven't actually bought any solid thing online.

My daughter's really understanding and didn't persist with suggestions of an iPad or so. She just told me,

"Anything's "ok" dad, as long as I can read books on it."

With that said, I have my eyes on something more economical and iPad-ish with a relatively lower price tag. To my surprise, Amazon.com has it!

I'm a gadget cheapskate and I'm not ashamed of it, but I'm actually contemplating this:

7" iRobot APad iPed Epad Google Android Tablet WIFI Touch Screen

It's an aPad from china-ipad.cn

It's sold by Texas Teknology (or is that Texas Instruments...? LOL)

Sometimes also called an ePad, it is for all intents and purposes an iPad Rip-Off. But who cares? It does what it's supposed to do, I think. So you can finally expect a gadget review from yours truly.
