  Back from grocery shopping and more than a little tired and cranky. Not sure if I should press on or flake and have a sleep.

  The fabulous plasma screen
  
  Originally uploaded by Fiona32
  

  I’ve never really understood the appeal of the giant plasma screen taking over the room. Initially when giant TVs first came out it almost seemed like “come on over and meet the family and also I’d like to introduce you to the giant screen”.

  However John hired one for a conference he is going to. After last night in the company of the plasma, the old TV looks chunky and cluttered and passe. The plasma is slim and modern and decluttered. It makes our giant pine TV cabinet look so 90s.

  Anyway we are not getting one, they cost money.

  We also noticed last night that we have recorded almost 200 hours of television on the HDD. I think that is mainly because we miss lots of things and don’t actually watch much TV. So if I could just get 200 straight hours of TV viewing in I would be all up to date.

  All awake. Thought life was close to normal. This cold and bloody astonishing text messages saw to any physical or mental peace.

  The Death of Newspapers

  Kiss of Death by Mig_R
  

  I have been reading articles about the death of the newspaper for years now. And I always take this with a substantial grain of salt. I might not read the paper much on paper but I rely on the web version of the paper I’ve always read for much of my news.

  The newspaper might not be on paper for me but the business seems to work in some fashion.

  The other day I another teacher told me he thought that newspaper had less than ten years left on paper. At first I dismissed this but then I thought that, as more and more people do what I do and read online, the paper edition will presumably fall below the critical mass on day.

  I thought about all the music I buy online and how little I buy in the shops. And suddenly I wondered just how many years the paper newspaper had left.

  Lesson for the day - products just die more quickly than I imagine.

  buggy

   » ‎ Joanna's Ramblings
  The main mode of transport on Hamilton Island is (apart from thongs (on feet)) the golf buggy. After a few days they become commonplace and almost invisible.  Now that they’re changing over from petrol powered buggies to straight electric, they are also almost inaudible. From my 8th floor room I can hear the ocean swishing up and [...]

  Gobsmacked to find that I am not the most self obsessed, narcissistic and selfish person on the face of the earth. Would never have guessed.
