It’s actually a bit smaller than I expected.
Well after waiting almost two months, my Kindle Touch finally arrived a couple days ago. I’ve spent the time playing with the device, and of course digging into some books that I’d bought.
I must say I’m very pleased with the experience I’ve had.
Now, keep in mind this is my first e-reader, so I really don’t have anything to compare to. The size feels just right. It just sorta fits in my hand. I’m also very easily able to hold the Kindle one handed, and tap to turn pages. Makes it very easy to read while I’m eating or drinking something.

I love to build my computers. Before now I’ve built two, one for myself and one for my girlfriend. Seeing that my own machine was coming up on six years old, I’d started thinking about a replacement. Then my video card died, and well, hey perfect excuse right? I went up to Fry’s to grab a replacement to hold me over, which I would then move over to the new build, and also grabbed my new case while I was there. Everything else I’ve ordered off of Newegg.
This post is going to be mainly about the case I picked out. Having researched around a bit, I settled on the Cooler Master CM690 II Advanced. I’ll tell you right off the bat, I love this case! It’s got to be the easiest time I’ve had routing cables, and also the cleanest looking interior I’ve had because of it.

Recently I had decided that my old 720p DLP was looking a bit long in the tooth, and started looking to replace it. Much time has been spent on avsforum.com, doing research reading opinions and such. I quickly took to Plasmas as a preferred display tech over LCD. I’ve always heard that Plasma has superior color accuracy and picture quality. While I understand that the top end LCD’s can match them, with my fairly dark living room, and limited funds I focused my search on to the Plasma side of things. I’ve also always tended to stick with Samsung for my displays, for one reason or another. I’ve never seemed to have an issue with them, so why mess with a good thing. Their Plasmas have also been getting good reviews and buzz lately.
In the end, the decision came down to two models, the PN59D550, and the PN51D7000, which were the same price. From what I could tell, the 7000 has the Samsung apps, and a Real Black Filter as the main differences over the 550. Apps is something I just don’t care about, I’ve got that functionality from my PS3 and PC, so it just wasn’t worth it, plus I wanted that extra screen space on the 550. So I am now the proud owner of a 59″ Samsung Plasma.

So I’ve had my EVO 4G for about a week now, and have been enjoying the heck out of it. Moving up from an old Blackberry Curve, the difference is night and day. I almost feel like I’ve woken up from a dream, nay, nightmare of slowness and small screens and poor media playback.
