Dilemma

So, as I am sure you all know, the iPad iTab was announced today. It has a 9.7 inch screen and for all intents and purposes is a gigantic iPod Touch and runs all of the apps the iPhone runs… such as the Kindle App.
Last week, my Kindle 2 arrived in the mail. I love reading on it. But is the iTab a better ebook reader? Should I return my Kindle 2 and buy the iTab? Sure is costs more, but one gets the same functionality plus a touch color screen, access to just about any ebook store instead of just Amazon’s, what is guaranteed to be better handling of PDFs, support for CBRs, etc. And that is just the stuff right now. That is not to mention any future publishing enhancements.
hhhmmm…
An unexpected Invitation

Nov
I am back to translating Latin to keep it fresh [and it is about as rotten as can be right now]. Today I pick up the adventures of Petronius in The Millionaires’ Dinner Party. Did the first four lines and memorized the vocab therein today.
1 Itaque maesti deliberabamus de malis quae nobis imminebant cum
2 servus Agamemnon intravit et “quid?” inquit “nonne scitis? hodie
3 ad cenam invitati estis a Trimalchione, lautissimo homine. venite
4 igitur; nolite morari?”
And therefore, we were sternly considering the troubles which were threatening us when the slave of Agamemnon entered and said “What, Do you now know? Today you all have been invited to dinner by Trimalchio, the finest man." Therefore, come; Do you wish to be late? [of course not]”
By the way, as I translate this, think of Trimalchio as Tracy Jordan from 30 Rock. The man is rich and absolutely nuts.
Vocab:
Sometimes the Crowd Thins

I heard today.
[picture of a stool]
The Speaking of Rob Bell.
I loved it.
It was on the value of small congregations.
And on not worshiping traffic problems on Sunday mornings.
Sometimes the crowd thins.
Teach the truth.
Sometimes the crowd. Thins.
[lyrics of a 50's western song]
And on keeping a Sabbath rest.
And giving your spouse the best and not the left.
overs.
And giving your children the best and not the left.
overs.
While the style of writing is lampoonable.

Content and Speaking is of the Spectacular.
