Geek Toys and Unfortunate Story-writing

I have a new to-oy, I have a new to-oy!

Alright, I've gotten the childish glee out of my system.



My new toy is a Coby Kyros tablet. I'm a little bit in love.

• Pros: The touch screen is responsive, the apps are good, and I have internet! It's not hugely complex, which I appreciate, because hugely and unnecessarily complex things irritate me.
• Cons of the Pros
• The touch screen can be too responsive, causing the screen to jump a little. I have yet to root it, so I have yet to get to Google Market. I don't have a data plan, so my internet is restricted to WiFi. And perhaps you like hugely complex things.
• Cons: There is no on-board word processor, the soft keyboard isn't the best, and the gyroscope that autorotates the screen is a little trigger happy. Playing music with it eats the battery. Also, for some reason, Blogger won't work on it. Odd.
• Fixes for the Cons:
• I use Google Docs (ma cherie amour), I have a wireless USB keyboard, and if the autorotate bugs me I can turn it off. Music and Blogger have yet to be fixed, though.

My only real issue so far is that I have no money to buy books on it as of yet. Which is a literature-nerdy thing to have an issue with, and totally unrelated to the tablet itself.




Different topic: Unfortunately for my atheistic sensibilities, I go to a Catholic school. I have mentioned this before. For my mandatory religion class, I had to write a children's story explaining Catholic Social Teaching. It ended up being about a hedgehog. I'm not sure if I feel like a hypocrite or like my brain just leaked out my ears. As these things aren't mutually exclusive, I think both.

Ick.
