Reminders for your Christmas shopping.

People will be doing shopping before Christmas. Just a friendly reminder about a few things.

Mystic Monk Coffee and Tea. The Carmelites in Wyoming need the income.
Stuff from my Cafepress stores (mugs, etc.) Fun stuff.
Please use my amazon.com widget on the right side bar of this blog.

I will also repeat my endorsement of the Kindle. I have the Kindle 3g which has a keyboard. I was skeptical at first but I have been won over. The newest Kindles amazon is putting out run on a new technology. There is new generation of Kindle, Kindle Touch, and a new Kindle Fire with color. The Kindle Fire is more like a tablet, like an iPad, and it has a new browser that runs on cloud technology which is apparently very fast. Furthermore, on a long drive lately I had the occasion to use the text-to-speech function on the Kindle. It isn’t available for all books, and it is mechanically generated, but it is not bad, all in all.

USA only, click HERE to order a Kindle Fire. To order a simple Kindle Touch HERE or the top end with free 3g HERE. For the Kindle 3G with the keyboard (the one I have now) click HERE.

UPDATE:

I found in my email a note that Fr. Barron’s DVD series Catholicism is on sale through amazon.com. It is listed at $149.95 but it is on sale for $99.99.

I saw a bit of the series. My set was, however… how to put this… “boosted”, is the word I think.

What I saw suggested to me that this series could be a good gift for your fallen away loved one or a friend whom you think is interested in learningmore.
