The weekend was good, really: I went offline for all of friday night, drank an entire coffee-pot of tea and read a bunch – and played with my toy, the Nook eReader I bought thursday night. Wednesday when I was sitting I did a lot of reading and research on the various eReaders (the Kindle Fire, Kobo’s Vox and various Nook models) and the Nook beat them all. I even made a point to get up early enough to hit the bookstore after getting my nails done to go look at them and I ended up getting the Color. It is just an awesome little tablet. I took a good part of friday night getting the hang of the controls, but once you it’s pretty easy to use. The only thing I regret is that I didn’t realize that it take microSD chips, not the regular size, so I need to get one – actually I should just ask Matt; he probably has some he’s not using right now. But it is still an awesome toy.
And it plays Pandora.
Saturday night was also great; I went with a friend of mine to Game and I actually got the ST’s award – which is especially excellent right now because there is going to be a soft reset, and my reward for good playing, instead of being 1XP, is actually 1BP (build point) which equals 5XP that I can put toward the character rewrite. I am going to be totally all on that as soon as the rules for the builds are posted.
