Kindle for the iPhone
Wednesday, March 04, 2009 9:00 AM
I’ve had my Kindle 2 for a week and my early impressions are favorable, though I do have some dislikes already too. Overall its a great machine that handles books very well, is easy on the eyes and very easy to hold onto (form factor is sweet). I’ll be... Read More...

Kindle 2 – Is It Worth It Now?
Tuesday, February 10, 2009 11:24 AM

What Do You Develop With?
Monday, January 12, 2009 9:17 AM

This awesome stroller  / race car was available to rent at the mall, so of course we had to rent it. My daughter had a great time, most especially since we heeded the warning on the stroller. It’s shocking to believe that this warning is needed.... Read More...
