Is the Kindle the new Accord?
Walt Mossberg: People love books and the tactile feel of them.
Jeff Bezos: Yes, people love horses but aren't going to ride them to work. We're trying to improve on books.

City Connection launches for the Virtual Console
“On the old side of new stuff, this week sees the release … of City Connection (500 points), which has you touring famous cities as a platforming car challenged by police, spikes, and of course, cats.” One of Emily’s NES greatest hits. But what’s up with the cats?

The people that DRM is fighting have already left...
Good observation by Jacqui Cheng:Remember: DRM isn’t about fighting piracy. It’s about the ability to strictly control how we consume content. Users who are interested in pirating TV shows and movies aren’t going to do so with a DVR or buy them through PPV. They’ve already skipped the middle-man and gone straight to BitTorrent with its decent-quality, commercial-less, and...
need your help
philoconn: I’m planning a trip and need to find the best site to purchase plane tickets from. I’ve used Orbitz before. Anyone have a preference or good/bad experiences with any of the sites out there? Departure: Norfolk, VA Arrival: New Orleans, LA Destination: Baton Rouge, LA If you know of good places to eat, visit, look at, photograph let me know Kayak.com is my personal favorite. No...

Just came across this. Well fellow Tumblrs, what do you think? Would you pay for Tumblr Pro? Discuss!

Gross.
Well, it finally happened. I officially have more visits from IE than Safari. I’m not sure how this happened, I mean, I intentionally make my site look worse for these people. Maybe I’ll add this link to the sidebar, or this one (my personal favorite).
Comments!
After bitching about it a while back I got around to adding them. I figure if it’s good enough for the Tumblr folks, it’s good enough for me.

Emily, take note. :)
Jurassic Park @ Dark
dremly: So I started a new painting job at the Virginia Zoo. Sounds fun, but I cannot begin painting until the gift shop closes. It’s all well and good for a few hours and then it gets dark. Last night I saw a raccoon run up on a peacock and scare the crap out of him. Have you ever heard a peacock? Well it sounds like a cat in heat. The free-roaming Guinea Hens also make a very strange clicking...
Which one of these is not like the others?
Over the past couple years or so the Discovery network has been refreshing all their network logo’s. Overall they seen to care about this (except in one glaring example), and for some reason I care. Emily will tell you that it’s because I’m a design snob, and to that I proudly say probably so. Let’s review, shall we? They’ve saved the best for last. Everything...

Nine Inch Nails have released more albums in the last two years than in the entire previous decade. And this one is totally free.
Surf Rider West
The charter meeting was a hit. But remember, there is absolutely, positively NO TAKEOUT so don’t even bother asking (even if it’s your grandmother’s dying wish). Probably the harshest warning I’ve ever seen on the door of a restaurant. philoconn: A big thank you goes out to Dr.Emily and jeffrock as we hit up Surf Rider West for some delish seafood. Is this the first...
