Why get the new Amazon Kindle Fire tablet / e-reader?


The New Kindle Fire!


(and why you want it)


Why get the new Amazon Kindle Fire tablet slash e-reader?



Amazon just cornered the market on e-reading, and will sell tons of the Fires because it's only 200 bucks. I will probably buy one just to read magazines and comics.

I don't think amazon thinks this is the iPad killer or anything. Heck, there is no 3g... but, what it does do is pretty much shaft barnes & noble, especially when you consider the 3 new e-ink devices they announced, one starting at 80 bucks.

If you are into e-reading, Amazon just made a huge splash in that market, and B&N, Sony, Kobo, PocketBook, etc are in trouble.

Advance speculation was that the Kindle Fire was going to be sold for $249. B&N sent out a marketing email in the middle of the night dropping their Nook Color price from $249 to $224. Then Amazon announces at $199 this morning. Hilarious. I'll probably get one for my wife because sometimes one iPad isn't enough but I don't think we need another tablet enough to drop another $500+. $200 is just about perfect for a 2nd e-reader / email / internet toy.

Amazon = run by geniuses

Phish: A Benefit For Vermont Flood Recovery September 14, 2011

via PDP:

Phish will play a special show at Champlain Valley Exposition in Essex Junction, VT next Wednesday, September 14th. The concert will benefit Vermont flood recovery efforts. In the wake of Hurricane Irene, Vermont experienced its worst flooding in a century, which devastated communities throughout the state.

Phish: A Benefit For Vermont Flood Recovery September 14, 2011

"It's been heartbreaking to see all the loss and destruction that came from the storm," said Phish keyboardist Page McConnell. "Vermont is very much a part of who we are as a band. We're really looking forward to playing this show and we hope the money raised will make a difference in the recovery and rebuilding effort."

General admission tickets will be $75. In addition, a special "Friend of WaterWheel" package will be available for $250. It will include preferred parking, a reserved box seat, a limited edition poster and access to a Vermont craft beer tent. A very limited number of tickets are available directly through Phish Tickets' online ticketing system at http://phish.portals.musictoday.com. The ticket request period is currently underway and will end on Wednesday, September 7, at noon ET. Tickets will go on sale to the public on Saturday, September 10, at 10:00 AM ET. In order to ensure that a large allotment of tickets is available to local residents, the public onsale will be in-person only. The box office location will be announced this Friday at http://phish.com, by email update and on local radio stations. There will be a limit of two tickets per person whether individuals are purchasing in person or during the online ticket request period.

Proceeds from the concert and merchandise sales will be directed to The WaterWheel Foundation and The Vermont Community Foundation to aid in the recovery of the Green Mountain State.

The WaterWheel Foundation was created by Phish in 1997 to oversee the band's various charitable activities. Fans can donate to The WaterWheel Foundation by clicking here. You should specify that they would like their contribution to go to Vermont flood recovery efforts. The Vermont Community Foundation was founded in 1986 and is Vermont's largest homegrown philanthropic foundation, managing a collection of over 600 charitable funds that invest more than $18 million annually in Vermont through grants, loans and other investments. In the aftermath of Hurricane Irene, the Foundation worked with donors and other partners to facilitate donations for relief and recovery efforts, including the establishment of a fund to benefit Vermont farmers affected by the storm. Visit www.vermontcf.org or call 802-388-3355 for more information.

The show will be Phish's first in Vermont since 2004. Doors will open at 5:30 PM and the concert will begin at 7:00 PM.

Sweet black and white treatment of the first photo I took of my 1987 SAAB 900 S 16v. Sadly, I have since sold my youngtimer trailer queen, and it can currently be seen entering its second year on display at Metric Auto Parts in Saint Paul.
