I’m not sure why I’m reviewing an SDHC card that’s been reviewed nearly 3,000 times before. It works well with all my new gear. Does that help?
Democracy and Culture An

The other day I was at a store and saw a little boy excited to get on and ride the escalator. Nothing was passing through his head about being cool, about pretending it was routine for him, no embarrassment, just plain excitement. Holden Caulfield would have said, “He kills me.”

The thing is that we grow out of that and into something else — a much more self-conscious, socially aware, socially anxious, strategic, plotting . . . adult. Caulfield doesn’t like that — it’s full of “phonies.” How do you grow into an adult without becoming a “phony?” As Caulfield says, “How would you know you weren’t being a phony? The trouble is, you wouldn’t.” You could be phony about being phony, priding yourself on your non-phoniness, on your seeing through everybody else’s phoniness. You never know.

If you’re like me, and you haven’t read A Catcher in the Rye for a very long time, it’s worth a re-read (or maybe two).

Democracy Is in the

I have tried many pedometers which never seemed to work properly. I complained to a person at the local YMCA, who asked me what I paid for them. It was usually around $5 at a discount store. He told me to get a good one, and suggested Amazon.com. I have been very satisfied with the Omron, It clips on my garments or just stays in my pocket, is very accurate in measuring my more than 10,000 steps daily.

I compared the iPad, which was much more expensive, to the Kindle and found that the Kindle offered what I was looking for and allowed me to access more online digital print media than the iPad. I’m thrilled with the digital paper delivery and less heavy recyclable paper to put out by the road. Also love the price of books and the fact that they don’t pile up in the house and then end up on a free table by the road. I was amazed that the cellular downloads were not something I had to pay for a data plan to get! Got my paper while camping in the White Mtns. That was the best! (I do own an ipod touch to get email over wifi from my comfy chair without paying a monthly fee to a cell company.)
Counterterrorism Democracy s Challenge

I always thought that I wanted to hold a “real” book and be able to turn the pages. Now that I have purchased a Kindle, I can not believe how much I enjoy NOT having to flip the pages and hold the sometimes heavy books. Also using the page bookmark is so much easier than keeping up with a manual bookmark. How wonderful! I am also hooked on Kindle’s large print option and the easy access to ordering books at such low prices. Thanks for a wonderful product!
