Soon to be 30

Yes it’s not long till I’ll have travelled around the Sun 30 times.

During that time,

  • The Sun has travelled about 227 Billion kilometres around our Milky Way Galaxy.
  • I have walked about 10’000 miles around the Earth (mostly in the UK)
  • I have created almost 300 tonnes of Carbon Dioxide, not including the stuff I breathe out.
  • And I’ve been asleep for 10 years

And finally, on average, at the age of 30 I should have about 50 more years left…

But now to finish on something much more interesting: Gifts. People keep asking me for some present ideas so here’s a few of them (in no particular order):

There should be enough ideas here for everyone but if your still stuck, have a look around the of the websites I’ve linked to and buy something stupid, cool or nerdy!

eStory Telling

I came across a quite unique idea on
http://www.dailylit.com/index

It has a collection of free online book to read, but it delivers the content in a quite unique way.

You register to recieve the book of your choice, then that book is split into lots of small sections which are then emailed to you or connected into your own personal RSS feed. You can set how often you want to receive the sections.

As they say on their FAQ:

“…if you are like us, you spend hours each day reading email but don’t find the time to read books.
DailyLit brings books right into your inbox in convenient small messages that take less than 5 minutes to read.”
