New Year’s Revolution

Loki — Mon, 31 Dec 2007 16:54:22 +0000

I think it’s about time to make a New Year’s Revolution. No, that’s not a typo. I’m talking about revolution, NOT resolution.

Resolution is for people who can’t make any drastic changes in their lives. Resolution is for people who can only commit in short-term behaviors.

In revolution, you don’t make promises you can’t keep. In revolution, you don’t make your mouth bigger and charm the others with your lips.

Resolution is… “I will change into a better person.”
Revolution is… “I must change into a better person.”

I’ve seen and heard too many people who made resolutions, but failed miserably. Smoking, gambling… you name it.

In 2008, you must change into someone better.
You don’t brag in the last minute of 2007.
You just changed.

Happy new year.

Queen Elizabeth II on YouTube!

Loki — Mon, 24 Dec 2007 10:35:34 +0000

I think this is the first time for the Queen to broadcast her Christmas message on YouTube, but I’m sure she already used YouTube and Skype quite often to chat with her beloved son; Charles.

The Christmas Broadcast or ‘Queen’s Speech’ for 2007 will appear on this channel at approximately 3pm GMT on Christmas Day.

P.S. The other children are currently “busy” with their stuff this Christmas, Sir Niflhaim. But they told me they already heard the good news about your published book yesterday.

Kindle, Kindle, Kindle…

Jeff Bezos loves to read books –that much is clear. The founder of Amazon.com, an online bookseller that now flogs everything from gourmet food to power tools, Bezos is such a voracious reader that he even claims to have finished Nassim Nicholas Taleb’s “The Black Swan,” perhaps the most-bought least-completed book since Stephen Hawking’s “A Brief History of Time.”

His wife is a novelist. And he is busily indoctrinating his children, too, not just in the habit of reading but in his other passion, Star Trek: He gives them novels about the adventures of the Starship Enterprise.

In so doing, he claims to be boldly going where no man has gone before: The Bezos offspring read these books not on paper, but on Amazon’s new electronic-book reader, the Kindle.

P.S. Okay, Loki. By the way… where are the other kids???

Robbers Return Christmas Goods!

Loki — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 07:56:02 +0000

The Grinch who stole Christmas may have had a change of heart, unexpectedly returning Christmas goods stolen from the house of a New Zealand family, police said Tuesday.

Stereo and DVD equipment, antiques and kitchen appliances were taken during a burglary late Saturday night at a property at Bannockburn, near the town of Cromwell on South Island.

Most of the $15,100 worth of goods were returned several hours later, wrapped in a sheet and left on the roadside outside the house.

The burglars returned again Monday to drop off two remote controls, which they left in the mailbox.

Unfortunately…

P.S. Mr. Niflhaim, please update us when your book is ready for purchase at the Amazon, okay?

Amazon Spent £2 Million For Me?

Niflhaim — Sat, 15 Dec 2007 09:33:05 +0000

Amazing.

Amazon is just amazing.

They spent a decent £2 million (UK Pound) to bought J.K. Rowling’s “The Tales of Beedle the Bard” in Sotheby’s auction, London. Not a bad number for one, tiny book.

But the auction WAS for charity, so I guess it wouldn’t matter much for Jeff Bezos, founder and CEO of Amazon.com. Besides, the company already made a heck of lot more from Harry Potter’s universal fans (including me).

Did Amazon buy the book for Harry Potter’s fans? Or for a mere investment after Rowling decided to end Harry’s tale?

Either way, there goes my new book… drowned and sinked by the Bard even before it reach the Amazon.

P.S. To Aunt Gail: Yes, we need a huge cyber party here on the net! Even though I’m not sure it’s going to make any difference to our book sales… hahaha.

Yes, We Need To Party For Sure!

Gail Mcleod — Sat, 15 Dec 2007 08:57:50 +0000

Yes, we need to party for sure!!!!

The best thing about cyber parties is that you can’t get fat on the food.

Loki — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 09:25:55 +0000

That’s amazing!

We finally did it! The book is published before Christmas!
You know, I thought you guys were vanished or somethin’…

Anyway, what about the Amazon and Barnes & Noble? Exactly when will they list your novel at their bookstores, Mr. Niflhaim? I really can’t wait for Santa to come into my living room!!!
