I've lived in Leeds for a long time. I don't really care about trams in 10-20 years - I'd just like a decent bus service now.

It was surprisingly easy to turn my Kindle into the "ultimate open-source e-reader": I put it on the shelf and bought a Kobo.

Amazon books are locked to Kindles using their own format and digital rights management. In practice I've not found the switch an issue. I mainly use my Kobo now but occasionally I'll go back to a book that I've already bought on my Kindle.

I switched to a Kobo at Christmas and have been pretty happy with it. Especially as Amazon emailled this week to say that my (perfectly functioning) Kindle won't be supported any more. I haven't tried anything other than Kobo store books yet though.

I work with young kids. A life of a five-year-old is so much easier with crossed 7s!

I thought a cylinder was an example of a solid geometric figure with congruent ends and parallel rectilinear sides but then I realised I was trapped in a prism of my own making.
