I must admit that at first I was somewhat dubious about social bookmarking. My opinion has since changed. I really like Delicious and the concept of social bookmarking in general.

It is nice to have all my bookmarks together in one place...especially since my personal computer just died. I still have all my favorite bookmarks even though I don't have my computer. It's just dandy! (I'm rather fond of the word 'dandy.') If your interested in what are among some of my favorite/most frequented sites are, my Delicious username is griffin.kellie. Look me up!!!
In recent days I have had several conversations regarding the new "wireless reading devices" such as the Kindle and the Nook versus a traditional book. While I think that there could be some advantages to having one of these electronic "books," I would tend to say that I am old-fashioned and don't want one. I would much prefer to sit down with a newly released hard covered book from one of my favorite authors rather than yet another electronic device. No one (at least that I know) really says on a cool rainy day, "Oh I would love nothing more than curling up on the couch with a cup of tea/coffee/hot cocoa and my 'wireless reading device.'" I would much prefer to do so with a real book. Now you may wonder why a member of the Millennial Generation (aka Generation Y) prefers an actual book to an electronic device. My answer...because of the comforting scent of books! What's that you say? "Books have a scent? I've never noticed....
