Kindle Meltdown

-

Closed my Kindle after a cup of tea in the canteen, next time I open it the Kindle is unresponsive, nothing! Plug in the usb power cable and still nothing, laptop doesn't even recognise it. Not good.

A quick search of the internet reveals lots of info about recharging the battery for 30 mins but my Kindle won't connect via the usb.
Then I see a little gem about holding the power button down for 20 seconds. Et Voila! Kindle Reset!
Sad to say I'd be lost without my Kindle :(

    Is it waterproof? Can you use it to read in the bath?

Eventually it came to me, El Shaddai by Michael Card, famously sung by Amy Grant. It's a song that I occasionally play during worship. Have a listen. What do you think?

The Archbishop and Wonga

Image via CrunchBase Have to say I was initially chuffed to see the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby laying down a challenge to Wonga and others of their ilk. The AoC communicated that he wanted to see the payday loan industry driven out of business by promoting the use of credit unions. The payday loan industry is involved in outright usury which is condemned by many faiths such as Islam and Christianity and others. Usury we can look upon as the lending of money at exorbitant rates of interest. But then I thought what was the AoC actually saying? He wanted to replace excessive usury with not so excessive usury. Is that what we should be aiming for? Plus the architects of our current austerity are backing the AoC! I would love to see all of the credit industry driven out of business but it will only be done by paying workers a decent wage, sharing in the profit of their labour and making capitalism history. At the end of the day this sort of initiative is just a...
