Captain's Log, Stardate 11.24.2009

I totally want a Barnes & Noble Nook ebook reader.

Seriously, I'm in luuuuuuuuuuv.

I've been using the Sony eReader for several months now, and I LOVE using it. The screen size is really nice and I like the portability of being able to take my ebooks with me wherever I go.

I've also used it for writing—I loaded my story synopsis, notes, and unfinished manuscript on it (I saved them as .html documents and then used Calibre to convert them into .lrf format). Then...

Camy here: I am especially pleased to present this excerpt because I'm in this book! Margaret asked me to be one of the contributors and I was thrilled and honored to add my piece in this compilation. My article is a short personal piece about my growing up in Hawaii and the things God did in my life when I moved to California.

Yes, I have more chocolate! (In case you missed the last box, click here.) This one is their Collezione Italiana.


Yes, I ~ahem~ ate one before remembering to take the picture.



Rooster: Taleggio cheese + organic walnuts + Tahitian vanilla bean + bittersweet dark chocolate

Very unique flavors in this one that I really liked. I expected to taste the cheese more, but maybe my palate just isn't that sensitive. It's sweeter than I expected it to be, also, considering ...
