The first thing I noticed when I walked in the front door was a huge display for their Nook book reader. It was a large exhibit which blocked your entrance to the rest of the store. The Nook’s were available with different options and a huge array of covers and accessories. As I walked past the display, the rest of the store came into focus. Instead of books, I was greeted with all sorts of games, kits, and flashy marketing. I felt like I was in a toy store. The visual stimulation was almost overwhelming. It was like a blog post in ALL CAPS… Everything was shouting at me. I went to the business book section and found it had been ignored. Most of the books were in the shelf so...

From the press release: The Weekend for Women Conference is open to all women with diabetes age 18 and older.  Participants will attend educational sessions on gender-specific topics related to diabetes treatment and management (such as pregnancy, body image, concurrent illnesses, nutrition, physical fitness), engage with other women living successfully with diabetes, receive unbiased information on t...

Not enough people know about them, and I want to help spread the word when I can.  Unfortunately I'll never be able to help everybody, but I want to do what I can where I can.  Brandy Barnes has been working hard advocating for women with diabetes, and she's doing fantastic things.  One of her creations is Diabetes Sisters, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations whose mission is to improve the health and quality of life of women with diabetes, and to advocate on their behalf.  It has been wildly successful so far, and is gaining momentum every day.  Diabetes Sisters launched the orange:will campaign a few days ago, and I wanted to help them spread the word.  Oran...

The previous ereader Iliad by irex I used, supports more formats, it’s memory can be extended by SD card and you can easily add files through usb connection with your PC or via usb stick, but unfortunately no quick and swift downloads via wifi or G3.

Jack Barnes was both a medical doctor and a former military commando. He was Medical Superintendent on Thursday Island in the Torres Straits from 1947, and from 1953 he worked as a general practitioner in Cairns. From 1945 onwards he was at the forefront of ongoing explorations in the burgeoning field of marine envenoming. Today, Barnes’ reputation is founded upon his discovery that a thumbnail-sized, nearly invisible, carybdeid (or four-tentacled box jellyfish) cou...

That scene made me wonder … Will Harry Potter’s books increase people’s  linguistic intelligence?  Laura Bush claims that Harry Potter motivates kids to read. Could it restore reading literacy to the many adults who miss promotions at work because they lack literary skills? Or are linguistic skills less important to our computer literate society .. and maybe not as connected to the Potter hoopla as we think?
