A really good article on e-books and their history

If you know me, your aware of my fascination with electronic books and my foray into that world with my Kindle experience.  I really liked the device but saw a financial opportunity to sell it for what I paid for it and took it.  I have been patiently waiting ever since for a way to [...]

Back from our Vacation

Well the vacation was wonderful, as hopefully most are. I was concerned about the weight I might gain, but unfortunately the food seems to be one area the cruises have cut back on.  Or I may have just gotten used to food being prepared well, which is a possibility here in the DFW area.  The [...]

First blush at the iPhone/Touch BibleXpress

This is it, BibleXpress, my new favorite iPod Touch Application. So far, this is by far the best portable Bible app I have used. I used to use a version for the Palm, then for the Windows CE device (several), I thought had found the perfect device in the Kindle but it was a huge [...]

A new Bible reader application for iPhone/Touch

I was really disappointed with the eReader I bought when I first got my iPod Touch. The ability to search around in the scripture was slow and extremely difficlut making it unusable. I just discovered BibleXpress which is an application with multiple versions rather than simply a text of the version in a reader app. [...]
