Friday afternoon country music lyrics – October 3, 2008

Posted on October 3rd, 2008

I grew up listening to Charley Pride singing this song. And, in fact, Charley Pride at the Macon Coliseum in Macon, Georgia, was the first concert I ever went to.

Kiss An Angel Good Morning

Whenever I chance to meet some old friends on the street
They wonder how does a man get to be this way
I always got a smiling face any time and any place
And every time they ask me why
I just smile and say

You’ve got to kiss angel good mornin’
And let her know you think about her when you’re gone
So kiss an angel good mornin
And love her like the devil when you get back home

Now people may guess the secret of happiness
Some of them never learn
It’s a simple thing
The secret I’m speaking of
Is a woman and a man in love
And the answer is in this song that I always sing

You got to kiss an angel good mornin
And let her know you think about her when you’re gone
So kiss an angel good mornin
And love her like the devil when you get back home

Kiss an angel good mornin
And let her know you think about her when you’re gone
So kiss an angel good mornin
And love her like the devil when you get back home.

I’d like to read a book, but I’m tethered to my computer

Well, Sony announced their third generation Sony Reader last night.

There’s a lot to like about the new Sony Reader – PRS-700 – touch screen, LED for reading in bed or low-light conditions. (As an aside, can someone explain that type of numbered branding to me? Why not call it Sony Reader 3, the Third, Sony Reader – the third chapter. Nope. We’re gonna name it the PRS-700).

But, unfortunately, Sony is missing a key, vital, feature here – there’s no on-board wireless connectivity or built-in Wi-fi. Hence, the title of my post. To get content onto the Sony Reader PRS-700, you have to connect it to your computer. Until Sony incorporates wi-fi or built-in wireless for its 4th generation, they’re going to have a hard time competing with the Amazon Kindle.

Sony is still struggling with content. Sure, they’re supporting ePub, PDF, and other formats. But, they’re still way behind the number of titles available for the Kindle. According to PW’s story today, Sony is planning to increase the number of titles availabe in the Sony Reader store to 100,000 titles from 50,000 now.

However, that still puts them behind the Amazon Kindle by 80,000 titles.

For competition’s sake, I’m excited by the touch features, the LED lighting, and the promised redesigned Sony eBook store. But to truly go head-to-head with Amazon, Sony has to incorporate wireless sooner rather than later.

Sony Reader event tonight

Posted on October 2nd, 2008

What is Sony planning to announce tonight?

A new Sony Reader model with built-in wireless? New deals with publishers to expand the number of available titles?

Are they going to end the Sony Connect software in favor of a web-based platform? The search functionality of Sony Connect still leaves a lot to be desired?

I wonder what Sony will be announcing.
