Merry Christmas!
NOTE: We’re not even trying to be politically correct. In the United Sates people are saying “Happy Holidays” instead of “Merry Christmas”. Each of us celebrate Christmas in our own way, be it religious os tradition. The message is still the same: presents. We spend our money buying presents for other people whether they like it or not. Commercialism, that’s what makes Christmas fun.

On this Eve of Christmas, many Netflix users found out that the service was down for extended period of time. Probably everyone was trying to stream A Charlie Brown Christmas at the same time. Probably it was problem with Amazon Web Services as reported by TechCrunch.
I’ve just gotten a meesage from none other than Patchouli. She is doing great with her new family.
p.s. I now have my own WordPress account.
There are still a lot of people who are looking to get e-reader in lieu of tablet computers. Amazon’s Kindle is still one of the most popular e-readers in the market. I’ve helped a few people for the last few weeks setting up and using their newly arrived Kindle Paperwhite. When asked why they get a Kindle (read: e-reader) instead of a tablet computer (read: iPad), then answers are synonymous: they want a single purpose device.
Kindle Paperwhite has touchscreen and back lighting. Users of previous Kindles with keyboard have to face a learning curve with the touch-enabled Kindles.
Overall, Kindle Paperwhite is excellent and does what it does best; being an e-reader.

It’s December 21, 2012 and it should have been the Apocalypse according to Mayan Calendar. Personally, I’m worrying more about the threat from Rogue Asteroid. We should send both Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck to the Asteroid.
