Indropped my Boox Color Note 4C day before yesterday and later discovered that the one and only moving part, the power button was broken.

So far, this isn’t it problem because opening and closing the cover turns it on and off. Eventually, One may need to press and hold the power button to do a reset or restart.

I think someday this may become a problem.

Ill one day at a time it till then…

Have a great day!

Its February 11th already. Every month, every year, goes faster and faster.

This February is a perfect month. Started on a Sunday, ends on a Saturday. Exactly 4 weeks long.

A perfect square month. It doesn’t happen too often.

Im trying to get over or not get a cold, not sure which. I have a deep cough on the border between my throat and my lungs. Not too miserable but definitely, definitely present.

I hope you don’t get this cold and that you have a great day!

I was driving to work, dreading it. It occurred to me that at work, I won’t see anyone I love.

Then I thought “Who do I love?” The immediate answer is “nobody”. I’m not married, no wife, no kids, no really close friends, hated my parents growing up..

Then I thought “what is love?” There’s different versions of love I think. I love my yoga teachers, co-yogis and my few students.

Is there casual love and serious love? It is definitely not appropriate to tell my teachers and students I love them, and I don’t think their definition of love is the same as mine. I don’t think any of my teachers or students would say they love me.

I started yoga when I was 60 years old. Since then, I’ve felt like my life has been on the wrong path since it began. I wish I’d have discovered yoga and meditation decades earlier.

Yoga, and the people of yoga, give me a feeling that I’ve never felt before. And I can think of only one word that describes it.

I’m retiring soon, looking at the next stage of my life. I’m torn between hope that it’s not too late for my life to start, hope that there’s a place for me there, and the regret of a wasted past.

this past weekend was the 17th annual Cayman Islands Roundup. Has always, I provided the sound system and recorded the audio and edited it.

I hopefully have the leaking my roof fixed. I had a professional come take a look. There’s another potential leak that I want to fix as well. A rotten rubber sleeve in the plumbing of ventilation pipes in both cases. Not to mention my conduit PVC for the TV antenna which was my original thought..

0 today it’s back to work. Have a wonderful week!

Yesterdays leak was much worse than the original. I think I found it and will be repaired this weekend.

Today is the beginning of the 17th Annual Cayman Islands Roundup. Looking forward to the weekend.

Havva Goodun!

My roof is still leaking . If anything, worse than before

It cannot be coming from where I thought it was.

Dangit!

February 4th 1997 – February 4th 2026. Today marks 29 years since I arrived here in the Cayman Islands.

I’m grateful every day to be here!

It’s cold here, it’s cold there, it’s cold everywhere..

This isn’t the kind of record I like to see

I bought a Boox Color Note 4C Last May I think. I never used it because I loved my Kindle Scribe. So, last November first, I decided I’d use the Boox for 30 days to get used to it. When November was over and the 30 days was up, I was in the US for eye surgery and wasn’t able to make the switch back. I’m kind of glad I used the Boox longer than the planned 30 days.

It took some getting used to, the Boox isn’t as intuitive as the Scribe. The Boox has full Android and the Scribe is much like any Kindle, except you can write on it. The Scribe seems nicer to write on, I think that that’s because of the texture of the glass. The Scribe display seems easier to read. Better contrast? The visibility of the writing on the screen is better somehow. The Boox text seems a little lighter, less black, more grey. The Boox has a color display but the colors are so dull it hardly even counts at all. However, when you print a document , the colors from the Boox are good. These color e-ink displays have a lot of room for improvemnent, and they will improve. Someday e-ink will replace all other screens.

After what I just wrote, it’s Boox all the way. It took me a long time to find the “writing utensil” that I could write neatly with. (There’s probably hundreds of pens and markers to choose from, on the Boox, all fully customizable.. The Scribe has maybe 10 or 15, but how many does one need?

The Kindle Scribe has better battery life

The Kindle App worked flawlessly on the Boox, syncing perfectly both ways. Using the Kindle app on the Boox, I cannot make handwritten notes.

HOWEVER, the Boox has its own reader, Neo-Reader that reads apparently all the formats. (With the Scribe, you can side load MOBI’s and AZW3 files and email EPUB’s. Books bought from Amazon, aren’t really on hte Kindle in a “normal” format). So I was asking myself, with the Boox, why do I need the Kindle app except for Kindle-bought books. I guess I don’t. But where does one buy ebooks except Amazon?

Importantly,with NeoReader, I can copy and paste content from the books and write with the pen anywhere on the page. Exactly like writing in a paper book. The Scribe creates a box with my writing (or typing) in it,

I love both the Scribe and the Boox. I didn’t want to switch from the scribe to the boox, and I didn’t want to switch back from the boox to the scribe..

I have a whole lot more learning to do about the capabilities of the boox.

Note that I have the first generation Kindle Scribe. There’s a second release and also a color Scribe now available. The Boox Color Note 5C is out, I have the 4C.

if I was starting from scratch, and had to choose, probably the Boox is the better value and more capable machine.

Happy Monday, it’s colder here than I ever remember it being. Have a great week!

AND! HAPPY GROUNDHOG DAY!!!
