Just ate some breakfast at the Roscoe Diner. #
Finished stacking wood, cleaning the basement, and 3 loads of laundry. I think a quiet evening with wine and a good book is in order. #
I just finished setting up my gradebook in Blackboard for my Business Communication course that begins on Monday. #
Bye bye, Sarah Palin. Thanks for all the distractions you caused away from the serious issues at hand. http://tinyurl.com/n23jwf #

Amazon Sign In Works Internationally

I used Amazon for years, though only learned yesterday that my Amazon (US) Sign In works in their international sites, too. While this may seem a no-brainer to some, I was pleasantly surprised I could order from the UK without having to enter my address, credit cards, or even guess the exchange rate (it is listed).

Isn’t this a smart business move that makes it easier for consumers (me) to get products that would otherwise be challenging to get? Should make getting research texts immediately more accessible.
