I got a Kindle and a large sum of money for Amazon from two of my sisters for Xmas. If that weren’t enough, I’ve now got Instapaper on it. This is going to be pretty huge.
NSFW: Trust me on the sunscreen (and the future of journalism)
Excellent! This is the point I have wanted to make with regard to real journalism.
I am convinced that there needs to be either state funding for journalism or some independent financier needs to make this case to the public. If the Kindle were $150 I’d have a subscription to the NYTimes, Newsweek and The Economist right along side my Atlantic Monthly and Wired.
Seriously, I won’t miss the two page ads and classifieds at all.

There’s a horribly pompous misconception amongst bloggers that they are somehow ‘taking on the mainstream media’….after camera phone dude helps us establish that the plane has crashed, who can we trust to tell us why it happened?

Mother of all libraries 4 (via Underpuppy)
This is amazing. Though as much as I would like a library like this, I can’t help but laugh at the fact that it could all fit on like two Kindles.
Of course, one does have to take into account that two Kindles won’t be anywhere near as impressive as this collection.
