e-book's a #burning ...


it's not likely a surprise that i maintain a personal library. i've been reading since as far back as i can recall clearly (about 3/4 years physical). instead of watching TV as a young human, i primarily listened to music/audio recordings & read anything w/words on/in it.


as an adult human that has changed only slightly to include visual media (VHS, DVD, etc.). while i am more likely than not to pursue & acquire physical media, i'm not at all averse to purely digital media.

i've had an e-library for quite a few years now, but when it comes to viewing media on my system(s) monitor(s) #thasnotmyflava .

i have done it on a few occasions when i had no other option, & also when i have opted for digital subscriptions of some of the publications i find useful/informative. i used to use Zinio when the publications i read were provided through that interface. it worked quite well, but it wasn't portable like physical text media.

for the last 2 years or so i've been waiting/looking for a full-color e-reader that was manufactured/sold by a company that i don't mind giving my $$$ to. from the research that i had done up to a few weeks ago, Amazon's Kindle was my best bet. there just wasn't a full-color option that would provide the utility i was seeking yet.

now the option exists!


this item is now available in [the mediafeast link] under machine|media players. it may seem odd to categorize an e-reader as a media player, but reading materials are #MEDIA .

it'll be a while before i cop 1 of these for self, but it's nice to know the option is now available...

thank you Amazon, from an excited mediavore!

creative & follicular #FREEDOM


in '09 i made 2 distinct creative goals. the 1st was to cop the mixer that can be seen as the background of damn near every site maintained by DFProductions online.


the 2nd goal was to cop a DSLR (digital single lense reflex) digicam to further pursue my interests in capturing still images of the journey as i see/experience it.

the way '09 ended made it look like both of these goals would not be realized in the time frame originally planned. w/o going into explicit detail, i'll say life choices made up until the last 2 years or so were made in such a way that obstacles for self were frequently created.


the original plan was to save up & cop the mixer, & then to cop a Nikon DSLR. a few years prior i had come across references to the D40 as + recommend. by the time i figured to actually cop the new digicam the D60 had been released. as technology advances go the D3000 was released in '09, but the plans for the mixer/DSLR purchase(s) got jammed.

this July i had the opportunity to cop either a DSLR digicam or a controller for the laptop. i decided the digicam was more of a priority because i was catching more images & the P&S (point & shoot) digicam seemed to be limiting the capture of images in certain situations. after a bit of research i opted for the D5000 instead of the D60 or D3000.


i had to take an L on Lady B's 30th anniversary concert & the '11 DJ Expo in A.C. to cop the digicam...


#sacrifices

the end result works for me because it looks like i will have accomplished both of the previously mentioned goals at a time & under circumstances that seem damn near impossible if not supremely unlikely.

the best part about this current arrangement is the deal i made w/self in '09:

not to cut the follicles until i copped the mixer!

i figured i'd go 6-8 months at most. it's now been a little over 2 years! they've been on too long & it's time for them to get gone...


it would now appear that some time next week my skin will be visible again...

i almost feel like singing that Ren & Stimpy jawn!


ok, maybe not that happy...

KIM & ABB!
