Some of you may have been aware that fantasy author Robert Jordan has been suffering from a fatal illness. He died today at about 2:45 PM Eastern, leaving his major work, the Wheel of Time, unfinished. As a fan for nearly two decades now, I just wanted to say thanks and send out my condolences to his family and the whole WoT community.
Those interested can see the original post here. For those who’ve never started the series, books are available here.
Ok… I’ve been on the MP3 bandwagon for quite a while now. I’ve been ripping and downloading MP3′s since way before Napster ever came on the scene. So when I decided to purchase a portable MP3 player, I decided to go with a player that could handle my vast collection of tunes. After months of comparison shopping I decided to go with the iRiver H140. It seemed to fit my style and I’ve completely loved it (even if the 40gb hard drive is getting a bit crowded).
Anyway… I recently decided to combine my audiophile habit with something else I love… reading. I figured audio books would be a great way to pass the time during my commute to and from work. I spend about an hour our of every day in the car so I thought that time would be well spent catching up on my reading. And so I was introduced to Audible.com.
