• Two fun things sent to me by my sister-in-law:

  
  

  1. 

  
  

  Announcing the new Built-in Orderly Organized Knowledge device (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 lift 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.

  
  

  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 or 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, and many new titles are expected soon, due to the surge in popularity of its programming tool, coming soon, the Portable Erasable-Nib Cryptic Intercommunication Language Stylus…..

  2. http://fun.from.hell.pl/2003-11-24/bubblewrap.swf

  
  

  It is bubblewrap which is fun to pop online, but I was caught by the address of this site -fun from hell????? Made me think, so many of the things that we waste time on, things that take us away from God and his kingdom are really fun, but also they could be sent by satan to keep us from doing the work. Calls to mind that even the fun things need to be monitored and done with moderation.

  
  

  Yet, the bubble wrap is fun so enjoy that.

  
  

  My kids go back to school tomorrow unless there is a snowday, and they are a bit bored today, so the timing is right. I will try to post some new stuff tomorrow, but am spending the last few hours with them and studying. Have a blessed day.
