Daily Thoughts 10/31/2010
Have a happy Halloween. The kids were out early today while it was light trick or treating. We gave out candy.
I've been reading more of The Story of Stuff. I agree with the author that stuff should be more durable, repairable, recyclable, and upgradable. Too much stuff which you can buy nowadays is poor quality and easily broken. I have had the same car for ten years and the same computer for six years with upgrades. I just fixed my watchband yesterday. I have had the same watch for over ten years. I also agree with the idea of reducing the amount of material which we use to make things. Packaging is getting lighter and more recyclable lightly. I wish this was true of many other items.
Web Bits
Lynn Abbey, CJ Cherryh, and Jane Fancher have an ebooks site where all the proceeds go to the authors. They are all excellent fantasy writers. http://www.closed-circle.net/
I took a few minutes to go back and check who was linked to my blog. There is Publishing Perspectives http://www.publishingperspectives.com/ and Meditative Reading http://meditativereading.blogspot.com/
