 Nook What Came in the Mail!

Yes, a Nook! To me, there’s just something about a new book. The stiff binding and crisp pages always feel wonderful in my hands but as a lover of technology, I’m pretty giddy that a Nook arrived on my doorstep today but wonder how my traditional book reading self will like it! I don’t own a Kindle or a Sony Reader so this is truly my first experience with an electronic reading device. While my Nook is charging, I’m setting up my account on BarnesandNoble.com , exploring the titles to figure out what I might read on the Nook first, and want to know..

 Simplify with Automated ‘Touchless’ Products

I’m so used to automated restrooms that sometimes I forget and hold my hands under my own bathroom faucet, waiting for the water to come on!  It slays me. Now we can all go hands-free  at home or the office with everything from automated soap dispensers, faucets and toilet flushers to trashcans and paper towel dispensers.

 Census 2010

Every child loves a good game of hide and seek. There are the fun butterflies they get in their tummies when they’re waiting to be discovered and the pride they feel when they’re able to count to ten and then yelling, “Ready or not, here I come!” But children who are hidden from the U.S. Census counts (taken only once every 10 years) are not a laughing matter.
