Jan 08 2010

I’m already sick of winter. The Chicago area got pounded with another snowstorm today and I had the pleasure of driving in it a 6am. Not fun. I only like snowstorms if I can stay inside where it’s warm and dry and watch it through the window while reading a good book.

On the ebook front, I was actually kind of frustrated this week. I downloaded 1001 Arabian Nights to load onto my Sony Reader Pocket Edition, but Calibre wouldn’t take it. I kept getting a meta-data error. I even tried downloading the book from different sources. No luck. And I even have the latest edition of Calibre installed.

The important thing, though, is that the weekend is here and most of us can take a much-deserved break. As always, have a safe and happy weekend.
