Things I like in the tech world....

Yeah, I like some tech. Not that it's a huge surprise, not to those who know me. I am dangerously close to being addicted to Words with Friends and I am linked at the brain with my facebook. That being said, I have recently entered into a comfortable courtship with a Kindle Fire HD. I don't have the foggiest idea how many of the features work, yet. But I did download and read an entertaining mystery novel. I can borrow one book for free per month; no risk there. And the book was not one I would have bought, so that's cool. The first book I actually bought was...Anne of Green Gables. Don't judge; I was having a nostalgic moment, and it seemed uniquely appropriate to juxtapose a classic and the technology upon which I would be reading it.

There are a ton of free apps I have added to the device as well, most of which attest to my addiction to sports, history, and of course, Words with Friends. I see that I can watch movies, and I have listened to music on it. I am intrigued and a little sketched out about using Skype on it. (Kind of feels like a Mirror, Mirror, on the wall thing.)

Mostly, I got the darn thing because it was on sale, and I could see that it would give me options for when I was sitting around with nothing to do...appointments that are not on time, for example. Sadly, what I cannot do is go on it at work. That requires a password which, I understand, is guarded by the Swiss Guard, Cerberus, and a cranky gnome with an itchy trigger finger. (Just kidding...I haven't gotten around to asking for it.)

So, I have entered the Tablet Universe.

Stay tuned.
