Kindle 2 – New Gadget Post

11 March 2009

It has arrived. On, of course, one of my busy must-be-out-of-the-house-by-10 days. So it languished on the front porch for 6 hours…
I’ll save you the unboxing post. You can have a look here at Engadget’s unboxing. I must say that Amazon has taken a lot of care with the packaging. A very nice experience. (I [...]

10 February 2009

I seem to be on a roll here with the purple stuff.
This is a quick book binding project. The text block was purchased from Paper Source. It comes with cover boards but without a spine board. Japanese paper and book cloth.

The painters arrive tomorrow to finish the great house painting project. They will be painting my office, the DH’s office, and my studio. I am working out of a little rolling cart on the kitchen counter. Severely limited in terms of materials and tools.
