I told one of my friends about this and he made a humourous observation: "But I do all my reading on the can." Ouch. I know a lot of people who read in a bath or read on the toilet, and hygiene aside, if you drop this puppy in the bathtub there goes 400$ (literally) down the drain. I never...

Yeah the price is definitely a point against it, but I looked at other electronic readers (Toshiba makes one) and the price was 300-600$. I think that 400 is reasonable considering that the access fees and data transfer are included it doesn't use wifi, and you don't need to buy a memory card...

Here is a funny joke that I know: A guy in a bar is trying to console a friend who has just found his wife in bed with another man. "Get over it, buddy," he says, "It's not the end of the world." "It's all right for you to say," answers his buddy. "But what if you came home one night and...

Thanks to everyone that has responded so far. I am currently waiting for my transfer from www.cvandermeer.x10hosting.com to be completed to www.cvandermeer.com, but as soon as it does I will be putting the new site up, which was changed drastically as per your advice. @tittat: If you don't...

You have some tropical punch, but it is a new formula which tastes awful. I wish I was famous.

@Budda: Thanks for your advice. Don't worry about offending me - I have a thick skin. I will take your suggestions as soon as I get access to my home computer. The only suggestion that I disagree with is the suggestion about the menu. Previously I had a plain text menu, and most people...

I bought the domain recently but haven't had the time to set it up completely. It is on my list of things to do this week. Any help you could give me on doing this (even just pointing me towards the right tutorial) would be greatly appreciated. Calvin

Instead of splitting it up into pages what about using anchors? Would that work? And Sohailamir52, how could I improve on the site and on my writing, specifically? Either way, I have send you both the credits. Calvin

@dunkjmcd Do you see that as a good thing that it is a simple layout? And I created all of my graphics with MS paint. True story. It was hell.

Thanks for reading my story, tondopie! I'm glad you liked it, and I hope you read some of my other things (Mr. Maniac perhaps? Hint hint). I have wired the credits. Calvin

This is a quote from the blog of Scott Adam's, the creator of Dilbert (which can be found here: http://dilbertblog.typepad.com/ ): "I find that I get mad about all the wrong things. For example, when I hear a news report about some serial killer who buried forty-three victims in an...

PS: My site will be updating later tonight with the first draft of the first chapter of my new novella, Wo Ai Ni. It is a romance story about a Chinese woman and a Canadian man in an arranged marriage. Just a heads up for those who are interested.

Hello Everyone, amateur author Calvin Vandermeer here. I created my site www.cvandermeer.com as a place to host my stories that I write as a hobby. I write in a variety of genres and update every sunday with a brand new piece of short fiction. So here's what I want you to do. Go to my site...

An important component of successful sites is often overlooked: proper grammar. When I visit a site that is riddled with spelling mistakes or has poor grammar I usually leave. Right now I can't view much of your site as it appears to be under construction, but (and please take this as...

My favourite quote was by Winston Churchill. In the house of commons, Lady Astor turns to him and says, "Sir, if you were my husband, I would put poison in your coffee". Right off the cuff he replies, "Madam, if you were my wife...I would drink it". BURN. And as Robin Williams would say "For...

Andrés Segovia, hands down.

Watch the video here: http://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Amazons-Wireless-Reading-Device/dp/B000FI73MA Just scroll down a bit to watch the video demo. This thing looks awesome. Basically, it is a book reader the size of a paperback (but much thinner and about the same weight) that allows you to...

Does anyone know what is going on with the credit system?
