A Coffee Slice of Heaven

JimmyB — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 15:31:47 +0000

Whoever invented this little device ought to get a prize – it’s the basic elements of coffee making, no stainless steel glitz and glamor. And so easy to use as well as easy, quick clean-up. I bought a little hand burr grinder, and there is a certain amount of satisfaction in getting up in the morning and hand grinding and pressing your own cup of coffee. And the result is some of the smoothest and best coffee I’ve ever had. Travels well in its own little tote bag. I’m so glad I bought this!!

Phased Retirement – A New Concept

JimmyB — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 15:45:08 +0000

Phased Retirement is a book written especially for the Baby Boomer generation.

As Baby Boomers face the typical retirement, age, they begin to think about the income available in their retirement funds, current pension plans, whether they’ll take early retirement, will there be sufficient income in retirement to live comfortably, how to plan for health insurance and whether they want to continue to work, perhaps part time. They may be concerned about whether they’ve even planned for retirement in a way that will be beneficial.

These are valid concerns and this book serves as a comprehensive guide to help alleviate some of the concerns of a Boomer facing the retirement phase of life. This book also provides a general overview of what phased retirement is all about and how this new trend towards retirement can be approached to maximize it to the best advantage.

To be honest, before I read this book I hadn’t even heard of phased retirement. Now that I’ve read it, it makes perfect sense. Not every Baby Boomer who is approaching retirement age will have the funds to actually be able to fully retire. Not every Boomer wants to. Phased Retirement by Bart Rutherford offers options to planning your transition. I found the book very interesting and informative. While I’m on the younger end of the Baby Boomer range, retirement is something that still concerns me.

Kindle Fire – The best tablet short of a iPad

JimmyB — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 11:43:22 +0000

Considering a price point at $199, there’s no doubt that the Kindle Fire is a great tablet because of its’ features for the low cost. The screen displays vibrant colors and is a multi-touch display. For a 7″ screen, it presents excellent image quality. Sitting on 512MB, or a half-a-gig of ram, the Kindle Fire runs smooth with minimal lag if any. The snappy dual-core processor gets the job done. Although it lacks a microphone, it really isn’t a big problem because it’s not totally necessary on a tablet. The two top speakers that are housed on the top provide good quality sound and are decently loud. With more updates to come, I expect the Kindle Fire to keep becoming more of a competitor on the tablet market. At $199, the Kindle Fire is an outstanding device.
