The Talent Free Child

When I was a kid, I was the one whose siblings hated them on report card day. I was smart and couldn't help having good grades. Well, actually, I had great grades. My grades were not only the highest in the class, or even the highest in the school. I had the highest grades in the history of the school, but instead of being proud of it, I was hated by so many kids, including my siblings, my bragging rights were pissed on regularly. I began denying my grades, never mind bragging.

Instead of feeling superior to my siblings because my report cards didn't prompt my father to begin lecturing in a disappointed fashion as he did to my brother and sister, I was jealous of them for their musical ability. My brother had been on stage since he was three, singing and soon after playing the trumpet in the style of Harry James at my father's behest. Our sister at a very young age would hear a song on the radio she had never heard before and immediately sit at the piano and begin playing the tune she had just heard for the first time in her young life as though she had practiced it for a very long time.

Me, on the other hand, took piano lessons for many years and still can't play or sing as well as the toddlers my sister and brother were so many years ago. My son has now expressed an interest in singing and has a talent for it, so I am going to encourage his initiative by getting him lessons to enhance his talent. Music lessons are not the dredge they used to be with the internet that did not exist when I was a struggling would be musician.

Which is the Best E-Book Reader?

What a great time to be a technology geek. My father used to talk about what an exciting time he had lived through with the recent invention of the car. He had seen the birth of television and was the first on the block to buy a new one when color came out. I had been jealous of his timing because he had seen so much and I was born too late to see any of the "important inventions". What a sap. My life would have been different had the Internet come about a little sooner, but everything else has been right on time and I was the perfect age to take advantage of every bit of it.

The E-book Readers are exciting and while the market is concentrating on a small number of them, like mobile phones, that too will change.Which is the best you ask? There is an excellent article at the following site comparing the top sellers, allowing consumers to make a wise decision instead of just going with the most affordable.

Kindle vs Nook

I think of the computer and how my father would have loved it, but he had the car and couldn't have everything.
