Friday Link Love 01/31

Feb 01 2008

I was almost afraid that I wouldn’t get this link love post finished for today, because last night my normal 1/2 hour commute home from work swelled into 2 hours. Why? The Chicago area was hit with a nasty snowstorm and traffic slowed down to a crawl.

But, being the trooper I am, I managed to pound this out with my frozen fingers and the last ounce of energy. So here’s some more link love for your reading enjoyment. As always, the links deal with writing, literature and a lot of technology stuff this week. Enjoy!

Analog Vs. Digital: You can take it with you (much easier)
The picture that goes with this post made me laugh. Who would actually lug that thing around nowadays? Between my iPhone and Sony Reader, I’m good to go!

This post deals with a simple question: What should happen to a writer’s work after he/she dies? And more importantly, who has the right to decide?

E Ink Machine: The Walkbook – repackaged HanLin, sold out of Turkey
A fairly new ebook reading machine!

You’re very welcome!
I really enjoy putting the weekly “Link Love” feature together. There’s so much great stuff out there I have to hold back.
Have a great weekend!
