PENGUIN GOES DIGITAL-ONLY
2012-02-02 17:56:00 Book publisher, Penguin, is setting its sights on the digital-only market with their new Penguin Shorts programme. The premise of the move is to focus on short reads that'll be available for $1.99 USD a pop and fertilize its own niche among avid digital readers. Not a bad idea considering music went the route of singles and the iTunes store. And with gadgets like the Kindle Fire and Nook, who's to say the reading market won't adapt just as easily as music has? Smart.

Dogs and Tunes
2011-05-21 18:41:00 Last fall when my first "baby", Mona the dog died I received a lot of hugs and words of support from friends and family. It was sort of like the diarrhea frosting on the shit cake of last year. 2009 was rough. When I am grieving or needing escape I always choose music. All genres are acceptable.

For me, life is a series of dogs and tunes. When my father was sick and dying there were a few specific songs...
