Kindle hacks
I’m a week in with the Kindle, and I am thrilled with it so far. It’s a bit pricey – $399 – but Amazon got a lot right with this device. Initial reviews talked about form factor (several techies pronounced it ugly), price and Steve Jobs famously dismissed it pointing out that nobody reads anymore.

Amazon Kindle
Can’t explain why, but lately I’m increasingly eager to buy a Kindle. Anyone have any experiences they care to share good/bad/otherwise? Don is sure that the iPhone will be a great ebook experience, but I’m not so sure.
Eager to hear what you have to say…
Thoroughly enjoying The Book of Air and Shadows
I’m a few hundred pages into Michael Gruber’s The Book of Air and Shadows and am loving it. (It’s after midnight, I should be sleeping, yet I’m… not.) I think it was the presence of the word “cryptography” on the front cover (in an excerpted review from the Washington Post) that initially piqued my curiosity. […]
Lawyer’s Guide to Marketing on the Internet (3rd ed.)
I don’t spend much time in the legal world these days, but I did spend time over the past year updating a book for the American Bar Association, the Lawyer’s Guide to Marketing on the Internet. Now in its 3rd edition, it’s a book that I think will help law firms of all sizes prioritize […]
Michael Lewis: The Blind Side
Michael Lewis was one of this week’s Authors @Google (that link should have his visit online in a few days), and I’m really glad I went. I picked up a copy of his most recent book, The Blind Side and finished it tonight: it’s as good a book as you’ll read this year. It’s ostensibly […]
Matt Cutts liked Daemon
Courtesy of a recommendation a couple weeks ago, Matt Cutts ordered a copy of Daemon and so far, it’s his favorite of the summer books he’s read.
Rock on.
C.C. liked Daemon
Go read C.C.‘s review of Daemon. Steven Vore also liked it.
Next up, Matt Cutts bought a copy for his summer vacation.
I’m a man on a mission. If you are reading this blog, chances are you like tech. You will love this book.
Recommended books
A feature I had on the site about a year ago was the Now Reading plugin which gave me an easy way to use WordPress to manage the books I was interested in, a way to log my thoughts on the books as I read them, and a neat archive of the books I’d read. […]
Daemon
A little over a month ago, I got an e-mail from a marketing person at a small publisher in California. We have a book we think you’ll like, she said. Can we send you a copy? she asked.
Now, I’ve received a handful of these e-mails in the past few years. I have a blog that […]
Learning digital photography
A few weeks ago I asked for pointers to help get up to speed on digital photography. Now that I have a “real” camera (with each day, I find yet another incredible feature of my D50; if you’re in the market for a digital SLR, you could do much, much worse), I’m really eager to […]
