Sitting here doing settlement on my mum's house long distance with a PC and a scanner...

In the meantime I've been browsing (shallowly) the iTunes store for things to put on my iPod touch.

And found a *free* app that contains all the works of William Shakespeare. Plays. Poems. Sonnets. Everything. In a flash, sent over the tubes and condensers of Teh Intrawebz to this little thing that fits in my pocket.

Young people, please remember in your amusement at my astonishment that I had been out of college and in the job market for at least ten years before anyone (outside DARPA) had email or websites. I used to play Star Trek text-based games on the computer when I was a teenager, but only because my brother in law at the time had access to the Yale University mainframes.

I feel very, very old. And I'm only 45.

Oh! I got that app for my iPhone! It makes me happy because I live in a place without 3G (shakes fist at ATT) so I can't eazily access the MIT searchable complete (plain)texts of Shakespeare. And now i can read sonnets and my favourite scenes from 12th night any time I want!

*bounce*

(pardon the enthusiasm, I just got back from the theatre - points to recent post)
