A Lazy Kind of Day

The weekend, and indeed the week, has gotten away from me. Today seemed like a day of catching up on just doing nothing, and so I followed my whims and read to my hearts content. But before I go back to that, I thought I would share a couple of links with you, my loyal Caboosers (I’m trying it on. Not quite Hulkamaniacs, but it’ll do for now)

Speaking of making words up (transitions rule!), have you ever tried to make up a word and pass it off as part of the regular English language? Well, these people have:

Look up words you never knew existed, see definitions for words that you never knew existed or add your own made up words.

Today’s word of the day: Myrthquake, meaning a belly laugh. It’s a perfectly cromulent way to spend the day. (Yeah, I rhyme now)

Discover information on the new Amazon Kindle:

Although it won’t be released in Canada, it’s still a pretty nifty looking machine. Will it ever replace the printed and bound book? I hope not. But, devices like the Kindle may take off, and it may be a perfect way to build a library without needing all that shelf space.

I’m hoping that I can get a proper blog entry in this week, but in the meantime I wish you good writing.
