In 927 King Constantine II of Scotland, King Hywel Dda of Deheubarth, Ealdred of Bamburgh and King Owain of Strathclyde accepted King Æthelstan of England as their liege, leading to seven years of peace in their kingdoms. In 1493 Hartmann Schedel's Nuremberg Chronicle, an illustrated biblical paraphrase and world history which is one of the best-documented early printed books, is published. In 1527 Lê Cung Hoàng ceded the throne to Mạc Đăng Dung, ending the Lê dynasty and starting the Mạc dynasty. In 1561 Saint Basil's Cathedral in Moscow was consecrated. In 1562 Fray Diego de Landa, acting Bishop of Yucatán, burnt the sacred books of the Maya. In 1862 the Medal of Honor was authorized by the US Congress. In 1896 Revere Beach, the first public beach in the United States, opened. In 1962 the Rolling Stones performed their first concert, at the Marquee Club in London.
So how am I doing without a computer? It has been a full seven days now. I keep up with emails and most social media on Facebook. I play Scrabble and colored a couple of very elaborate designs [while declining to buy coloring books for the apps]. I watched a little TV and I have been devouring books, binge reading with abandon. I usually avoid the fantasy series, but of late I have to admit that being able to simply use the Kindle to go to Amazon and buy the next installment has been very gratifying. Interestingly, although I keep marking books as “currently reading”, because I am not rating them when I am through, it looks as though I am still reading them. In truth I have one book open on the iPad, another on the iPhone, a different book in the browser, a paperback in the bathroom and another on the Kindle so there are only five that are really in progress at anyone given time. Unless I decide that I need some fluff to eat by and I pick up a book that I have read many times and just plunge into briefly
It is going to be a while before I join the totally mobile, tablet oriented movement.....
