In which Gingerbread broke my camera app. And there’s a question for you to answer! [dropcap]I[/dropcap] take the majority of my photographs with my cell phone. They’re spontaneous pictures and don’t have to be high quality, but on the other hand, they do need to not actively suck. My phone is an LG Optimus S. […]
In which I accidentally buy a Kindle Fire. I did not need a new device. My Kindle 3 (the model now known as the “Kindle Keyboard”) isn’t even a year old yet, and it works just fine. After I sprung (sprang?) for the expensive but elegant and cleverly-designed OEM leather cover with the built-in light, […]
In which I may be talkin’ shit about the iPad, but I still totally want one. There are these awesome people I’m friends with on Twitter. Right now they’re all pissed off at me because I don’t agree with them that the iPad is the Bestest Thing Evar And Proof That Apple is Ascendant In […]
In which I tell you about the gifts I received. For Christmas I got a Kindle gift certificate (yay moar ebooks!), a red goblet, candy (some of it filled with tequila, I kid you not!), a hand-made tote bag, cash, and a little herb garden kit. I really wanna buy myself some sort of shiny […]

I bought it not because I didn’t already have a way to read ebooks (I have four separate ebook apps on my […]
In which publishers and sellers alike seem to be on the verge of losing their minds. First off, let me just say that I’ve been reading ebooks since 1994. They’re not new. This whole ebook thing has been coming for a long, long time, and I can’t figure out why the big book publishers can’t […]
In which I review the new device! For Christmas, I bought myself a Kindle. (It probably wasn’t particularly clever to spend nearly three hundred bucks on an unnecessary electronic device the very week I got laid off, but whatever. This may be why I never had kids. Moving on!) The form factor is nice. It’s […]
In which the notebook is here! The notebook is here!! OMFG the notebook is here!!! UPS’s site said my Eee PC wouldn’t get here until Wednesday, but it was sitting on my desk when I got to work yesterday morning. Squee! It’s tiny. It’s über-cute. It’s portable. It has killer battery life. It came with […]
In which my financial situation gives me The Dread whenever I think about it, which is not very often. Denial ain’t just a river in Egypt. Last night, my roommates went to see Clapton in Moline, IL so I had the whole blessed house to myself for the evening. I sat in front of the […]
