Bruce's Journal

Bruce Slutsky was born in New York City in 1949. I retired six years ago after working as a Science/Engineering Librarian at the New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark for 25 years. I was married to Karen until she passed away in February 2021. I have a son Lee who is now 35 years old. I am very much interested in the popular music of the 1960s, especially Bob Dylan and the Beatles. I am interested in rock and roll radio. I am an enthusiastic fan of the New York Mets.

My New Hi-Tech Toy is An Amazon Kindle Fire HD 8 Tablet

I guess I did my part in making Jeff Bezos a multi-billionaire by purchasing a Kindle Fire HD8 Tablet. Back in June 2012, I bought the first generation Kindle Fire to supplement my laptop. I still have that tablet which is still working but felt that after 5 years I needed to upgrade. This new model is much faster and even includes Alexa which I also have on the Amazon Echo. I think the Kindle Fire is much less expensive than an iPad and serves the same purpose.
