I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.

This is a very good poem I came across.

An amazing poem and a true source of inspiration

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.


(William Ernest Henley)

EBook Reader

The other day I got hold of Sony's E-Book reader an older version then the current touch screen one and I must say, I have never touchen any thing more sexy. This sleek device has this amazing e-ink technology which makes you feel as if your reading a book. When playing with the device I kind of thought on how the iPod came up and took over the music lovers by storm replacing the old CD players and pocket radios. So should we expect the ebook reader to the same? I think it would. Amazon with its Kindle is currently among the top 10 gift items for Christmas this year and with more and more books coming on digital format its bound to make a difference. But what I would like to see is more companies coming out with there own version, there is still a lot more room for improvement. But then I am sure other companies are already working on this as I write this...
