Over 10 years!

It was 10 years this month when I successfully defended my Ph.D. dissertation. Wow, I remember almost killing myself about 1/2 hour later. I defended the thesis in Hull (UK (Univeristy of Linconshire and Humberside)) (which later became the University of Lincolnshire).  I and another woman were doing our defence (defense ;-)) at the same time. We were to meet with the others at a pub across the street. I looked the wrong way (for England) as I started to cross the street and nearly got smacked by a car coming the other way. Talk about getting your nerves going again!

Kindle or Kindling

It is definitiely interesting how the Kindle seems to be peaking the interest of bloggers, and usually in a positive sense. See this video.

Anil Dash has written a pretty good piece on his thoughts about the Kindle and some of its potential impact. I think what has struck me is that how much it is similar to the iPhone/iPod touch/Starbucks product bundle. Obviuosly they are looking at somewhat different markets, but the distribution model is similar and it is does not take a rocket scientist to see the cross-over and possible competition.
