e-reader
I was at the mall earlier today for some errands and while passing by Borders I noticed that they had posters up of an e-reader they were launching. Didn’t have time to check it out but got an email today about it.
Here’s the Kobo reader .. a new competitor to Amazon’s Kindle.
One of the major things that attract me to it is the price point, it’s selling at A$199 and available locally compared to buying Kindle from Amazon’s US website and at a higher price plus shipping. Kindle does have the advantage of more book selection. Hmm, me thinks me likey Kobo haha .. is it worth to get though?

no celebrations
Well, the supposed post-anniversary celebrations are still a no-go. Ichi’s business trip got extended at the last minute so instead of yesterday he will be back tuesday instead. While he was away I did manage to get a few things done (aside from chores that I am more than happy to delay haha!), first is to finalize E’s re-enrollment at his preschool for 2009 and second is to enroll him at I Can Read. He’s enrolled for the thinking and creative skills program until the end of the year.
THINKING AND CREATIVE SKILLS
Designed to stimulate the imagination and develop problem-solving skills using language. Encourages cognitive growth through oral presentation, dramatic play, introduction to phonology (a prerequisite for learning to read) and appreciation of story.
We were at the centre earlier and I was pleased to learn that they do try to keep the class to a maximum of 4 kids. I hope he’ll enjoy the sessions.

I only discovered this series a few months ago, after reading some reviews about it and getting to see the movie trailer online. I finally decided to check it out, am starting with the audio book copy that I got my hands on and have been meaning to buy the book (hopefully I can squeeze that in on one of my errand runs). I am really getting excited with the movie coming out in November. Here’s a trailer.
