Contest #1

Okay...

I receive review copies of books on a regular basis. I hope to feature a weekly contest so I may be rid of some of these books. As it is, my house has wall to wall insulation provided by years of book collection. Today will be the start of the first contest.

What I am attempting to give away is 1 copy of the Visual Novel,Mr. Fooster Traveling on a Whim. Written by Tom Corwin and Illustrated by Craig Frazier.







Mr. Fooster seems like your average fellow, albeit one who travels with an old bottle of bubble soap. One Tuesday morning, however, he takes us into a rich and vivid world unlike any we've seen before. As he heads out the door, Mr. Fooster's boundless curiosity leads him to reflect on questions such as: How do mandarin oranges come in perfect little segments without any mechanical engineering? How come we never see beby pigeons? and Who figured out how to eat artichokes? Mr. Fooster shows us that pondering the little things in life can be a reward unto itself.

So, the question is:

What do you often find yourself thinking about while walking alone?

All comments to this post are screened. Please reply with your answer and a mailing address. I will edit out the mailing addresses before allowing comments. The winner will have the most imponderable or thought provoking answer.

Thank you.

Technology Update Part Deux

I became so excited by the arrival of Skullcandy goodness, I forgot to mention the MP3 players we got in.


Clip it to your belt, hat, backpack whatever you like to clip things to. Available at the NCC store in the 1GB size.


Personally, I like this one. An integrated USB plug saves me from losing cords. ID3 tag support is nice too. We have it in 1, 2 and 4GB.


The above, Haier Ibiza Rhapsody, comes with a 30 day free trial of Rhapsody. This is meaningful because the player connects to Wifi networks. Therefore, you can stream videos and music to your player while in class! MULTI-TASKING!! At the NCC Store in 30GB size.

Technology Update

In preparation for the Fall Semester, we are updating our electronics and technology accessories. Pallets and pallets of new items are arriving daily. We have decided to expand the amount of Skullcandy we carry.









And, yes... that watch is an MP3 player with equalizer presets.

I like kittens. Some times I like to dip them in barbeque sauce and tease the chickens that wander my yard at night. Night chickens are the best kind. They don't argue.
