Recently I have been doing a lot of reading on my Kindle ebook reader. I don’t have the very latest model however I am very happy with my trusty black and white model.
I thought I would make a list of the reasons why I love my Kindle.

My Journey in Electronic Music
In this article I explore my interest in electronic music and how it has come to be one of my favourite musical genres. The basis of most of this music is the Moog Synthesiser, invented by Dr Robert Moog (pictured left).
You can hear these recordings on YouTube as well as reading how I discovered the universe of electronic sounds.

Table Topics for Beginners
Most of us are quite comfortable speaking in social situations. But what happens when you are the centre of attention and everyone in the room is waiting for you to speak? That’s why you joined Toastmasters – to develop these skills.
This article is about a section of the meeting which you either Love or Hate – Table Topics.

My first camera – a Kodak Instamatic 104
Kodak has been in the news recently because its days as a viable company are nearly over.
My first camera was a Kodak Instamatic 104 given to me by my grandparents in Victoria for my 10th birthday. This present started my interest in photography and using a camera to record my daily experiences as well as my travels and holidays.

Australian Poetry for Pleasure
Recently I started following the National Year of Reading web site and love2read2012 Tweets and #NYR12 hash tags.
Today I read a tweet from @ozpoems about a blog “An Australian Poem a Day“. Inspired by the National Year of Reading, this site promises to post a poem by an Australian poet each day.

Goodreads – a community for readers
Goodreads is a social networking web site for people who love reading. I use the site to keep track of what I have read, to record and report progress on my reading and to build my list of “to-read” books.
Just like Facebook you can add “friends” on Goodreads and find out what they are reading. What is interesting is to compare books with your friends to find out which books you have in common on your read and to-read lists.

North Sydney has a library?
I work in North Sydney and often visit Stanton Library in my lunch break. It is just a ten minute walk from my office, and there is an excellent coffee shop nearby in Rydge Street. I carry a black cloth bag to use to carry books and DVDs and it is this bag which usually provokes questions from my colleagues.

The Measured Life
The ancient Greek philosopher Socrates is reported to have said that “the life which is unexamined is not worth living”. My article proposes that the unmeasured life is not worth living. What do I mean by this statement?

Musicals I have seen
A friend was telling me she had recently seen Love Never Dies – the sequel to Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom of the Opera. I haven’t seen this production and don’t know the music although I saw Phantom of the Opera. The purpose of this article is to list all of the musicals I have seen.
