Game of Thrones eReader Companion

Image via WikipediaHave recently got hooked on the fantasy series of books collectively known as "A Song of Ice and Fire" by George R.R. Martin that starts with the Game of Thrones.

The reading of the first, and now second book is being done on an iPhone via the Amazon Kindle app. As any reader of this series knows, there are an immense number of characters and places to keep track of. Difficult enough in book form and harder still on iPhone.

Just when I was going to give in and print off the maps associated with the books, a search of the Apple Apps store revealed the "Game of Thrones Companion" by Jason S. Rosenblum App.

Game of Thrones fans get this app, I can highly recommend it.

Stuck on those "Ser Who?!" type questions? Or on "where is THAT place" problems? Just fire up the app and you have easy access to a large data base of characters, the maps from the books, places, houses and the regions.

Easy stuff!

Online Digital Music - Pandora' Box

Image via CrunchBase"Pandora, the popular Internet radio service, filed for an initial public offering in February that would raise $100 million. Spotify, a highly lauded European service, is reportedly raising $100 million from private equity firms to help it come to the United States."


The New York Times notes that


"Since it emerged in the 1990s, digital music has been hugely popular with fans, but for online music companies and their investors it has almost never been profitable."
