NewsGator for iPhone — I like it!

This was one of the first things I saw when I got back to my office after lunch:

NewsGator Daily: “This morning we announced the release of NewsGator Mobile for iPhone, a free newsreader that takes advantage of the unique design and user interface of Apple’s wildly popular new device. The free service, which works with iPhones and other mobile devices is accessible at http://m.newsgator.com.” [via Brent]

So naturally, I had to try it. I like it…a lot! It won’t replace reading blogs on a real computer (especially those only available inside the firewall), but it’s sure convenient and makes it easy to zip through an accumulation of items in a few spare minutes. Very cool indeed!

The spell is broken

My copy of HP7 arrived while we were out and about yesterday, so I didn’t get to pick it up until about 4:30pm. I finished it just about 24 hours later — I did manage to eat, sleep, hit the JCC, watch a little TV, and run some more errands in the meantime.

I think JK Rowling did a very commendable job of answering the questions and there were only a couple of times that I had to really step around a big expository lump, and they only slowed the action a little.

I was amused by the inside jacket blurb: “We now present the seventh and final installment in the epic tale of Harry Potter.” I guess there wasn’t much need to explain more.

I was also amused when one character said to another that they were on a Quest. Y’think?

Further deponent sayeth not.
