Hi

Hi everyone!

I am not really sure what to do with my Dreamwidth account. Maybe I will use it to post library things and the like.

So far now I am planning on closing my I Love Libraries community on Live Journal and post things here. Let's see what happens.

A book...what's that?

Since we are in the computer age, some people need to be reminded of what a book is. Please read, to get reaquainted with the book.

Announcing the New Built-in Orderly Organized Knowledge Device, Otherwise Known as the BOOK!

It's a revolutionary breakthrough in technology: no wires, no electric circuits, no batteries, nothing to be connected or switched on. It's so easy to use even a child can operate it. Just life its cover. Compact and portable, it can be used anywhere--even sitting in an armchair by the fire--yet it is powerful enough to hold as much information as a CD-ROM.

Here's how it works: each BOOK is constructed of sequentially numbered sheets of paper (recyclable), each capable of holding thousands of bits of information. These pages are locked together with a custom-fit device called a binder which keeps the sheets in their correct sequence. By using both sides of each sheet, manufacturers are able to cut costs in half.

Each sheet is scanned optically, registering information directly into your brain. A flick of the finger takes you to the next sheet. The book may be taken up at any time and used by merely opening it. The "browse" feature allows you to move instantly to any sheet, and move forward and backward as you wish. Most come with an "index" feature, which pinpoints the exact location of any selected information for instant retrieval.

An optional "BOOKmark" accessory allows you to open the BOOK to the exact place you left it in a previous session--even if the BOOK has been closed. BOOKmarks fit universal design standards; thus a single BOOKmark can be used in BOOKs by various manufacturers.

Portable, durable and affordable, the BOOK is the entertainment wave of the future, an many new titles are expected soon, due to the surge in popularity of its programming tool, the Portable Erasable-Nib Cryptic Intercommunication Language Stylus...

It's gotta be love

There is a group on Facebook called, My girlfriend will Marry me if i get 1000000 fans on this page!!!

Ok....would you really want to marry someone that would base their answer on how many people he can get to fan that page.

I hope that he is just saying that to get people to fan it and not becuase it is actually true.

And if the group is true...I wonder what she will want him to do later on in their marriage if they actually do get married.

The Cruise

Next week I will be on a trip to Bermuda, going via the Norwegian Dawn.

The following is a preview of what my sister's and my cabin will look like.
