As Emma wrote in her recent post, a community involves sharing and getting to know one another. To that end, I thought I'd share a recent discovery and a little about one of my hobbies. 
One of my favorite hobbies is reading. In addition to my Entreprenurial studies in college, I majored in English. By the time I graduated, I had a book collection exceeding 2,000 volumes...perhaps excessive for a guy in his early twenties.
To the point...I have been very reluctant to embrace digital books. I have always loved the feel of a book and the sense of accomplishment upon turning the final page. That is, until recently. I was convinced by another frequent traveller that the Sony digital reader was extremely handy because it's light and allows you to essentially carry hundreds of books...generally I would be quite happy with a few...just for variety. After my first few plane flights with the device, I am hooked. It took a little adjusting, but less than expected.
There is a good entry on Web 2.0 & Medicine if you have an interest in this subject. I know lots of physicians are avid readers, so take a gander.

hey tobin,
don't really have to read anymore - books on tape. better yet, i'm waiting for the day when i can receive a microchip implant that carries the 100's of books that i would like to read but will never get to. instant read with recall of having "read" them! whaddya think?
in additon, you could then get rid of all that bookcase space and put in a wine room! :)
