Hitchiker's Guide is out for the Kindle! I clearly remember the sunny, spring, seventh-grade afternoon when I asked to be excused from class in order to check out a new library book. Thinking back on the event with the devious mind developed in subsequent years, this seems like it would have been an awfully easy way to ditch class. As it was, my then-guileless self proceeded happily to the dark, windowless expanse in the center of my junior high school.My school, in its.http://www.amazon.com/gp/blog/post/PLNK7NO8ZP3W63TN Baby Who Fell Into River Dies, Comes Back to Life- June 27, 2008 Shared by internetcases Two hours after she fell into England's Thames River and was pronounced dead, a baby girl came back to life.

DIgg's gone through quite a few potential buyers over the years, including News Corp., IAC and Al Gore's TV network, Current. Except, as illustrated in this excerpt from Big Think's interview with Rose, there's one big difference between Rose's love life and Digg's many turns on the auction block. When it comes to selling Digg, it...http://feeds.gawker.com/~r/valleywag/full/~3/316328012/kevin-rose-gushes-over-digg+shopper...

Since that time, I&39;ve become consumed by not only the device, but the potential for it to become a foundation for Amazon to disrupt the publishing industry. Indeed, there are two parts to any discussion about Kindle (1) the device and how it works (2) how Amazon will use it and it's Digital Text Platform to create a micro-payment economy for authors. For now, I want to introduce a few aspects of the...http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/CommonCraft/~3/315592525/un-boxing-and-getting-started-amaz...

After sampling some goat cheese I told the vendor I'd definitely buy some the next week because I'd ran out of cash that day. She said take it home today and pay me next week. It's not surprising that a vendor at a Farmers' Market would behave that way but it was still so refreshing to just be trusted as a consumer. It seems like...http://www.37signals.com/svn/posts/1080-you-have-to-treat-your-employees-like-customers Why I Chose to Work at Lijit- June 10, 2008 I am beginning to really like the Skribit widget in my sidebar. It allows people to leave suggestions on topics I should write about. What's interesting, is sometimes the suggestions are things that I either never thought of, or are topics that I have shied away from. The other day, what are the top reasons to use Lijit showed up. I cringed because I have really tried to keep my work life out of my blog.
