Kindle Books
A different version of what I’ve posted elsewhere, but I’ve recently bought, and now finished reading, my first Kindle book (bought on the iPod/iPhone Kindle app). I don’t know exactly why, but this feels more momentous than when I first purchased music from iTunes - I guess it’s something, but not completely, to do with the fact that I’ve been comfortable listening...

Year End Review - Art
Well, I say art, but at the moment it’s just photography. I seem to have stopped writing so much. And I think that’s about as arty as I’ll get.
Highlights:
