Friday Link Love 03/06

Mar 06 2009

Tis the season for colds! I found myself sick again this week, this time with a cold. Not the worse one I’ve suffered (that would have to be the Great Cold of 2007), but still sick enough to knock me out of commission for a few days. I know a lot of people who are/have been sick, so something is definitely going around.

This week’s highlight has definitely been seeing the Amazon Kindle app for the iPhone/iPod Touch. I now have 3 ebook reading apps on my iPhone (eReader, Stanza, and now Kindle). My preference at the moment is Stanza because it is relatively open to many ebook formats. Although I’m always willing to try the next new thing!

Not much else to say except that it is Friday. You know what that means! Have a happy and safe weekend!
