I'm sitting down here on the Mississippi coast doing nothing.

I brought my cheapo Chinese Android tablet with me.

Can't see the damn thing in the bright sunlight. Even with the TFT screen. So much for my ebook reader idea...should have brought my Jetbook mini.

Only 50-60 feet from the wifi router and can't pick up the signal strong enough to keep a connection. Should have brought my Mobilepro

Arrrgh!!!!

Guess I'll go back to the binoculars and watch the girls...love it when they sweat...

I take it you didn't bring your fishing gear either.

I feel your pain, however, I'm sure you can find a local used book store But I seem to recall you telling me that you had better things to do than read a book outside at the beach... Yup...Here it is...

I've never seen a screen yet that is perfect in a dark room, and in normal lighting, and outdoors in bright sunlight...except for a simple monochrome screen that has a back light.

That's the one thing I like about my Jetbook...the sunnier, the crisper the text...but it still works great under normal lighting too. You can bet that I'm not going to sit in the hot sun on the beach and read a damn ebook, not when there are near-naked babes walking around. Besides, how can you read an ebook when you are busy holding binoculars?

I caught so many hammerhead and black tip sharks this weekend, I feel that I'm endangering the species all by myself....

I'm serious, I can't seem to catch any Speckled Trout at all...just sharks...over 40 of them this past weekend alone, averaging from 14 inches up to 4 feet....

And I'm burnt to a crisp....
