  1. @davewiner so much good stuff in today's NYT, I'll be thinking of it when I try to explain the "sunday paper" to my (future) grandchildren
  2. Had hoped B&N eReader.com's new lower ebook prices would put the screws on Amazon Kindle prices. Nope. http://bit.ly/Ks48O $AMZN $BKS
  3. @harrymccracken And does the guy who cranks out 8,000 words of crazy comments a day actually speak out loud or is he too busy typing?
  4. RT @wisekaren There's this weird round yellow icon on the extended-forecast weather map for next Thursday - wonder what that could mean?
  5. Witnessed a stunning light show of lightning hitting the giant TV towers in Needham as I drove along 128 this morning
  6. The cops caught the robbers of the Sovereign Bank in Needham today. Looming question is how many other banks they hit http://bit.ly/19BunI
  7. Zach Miller has a great list of 7 useful investment sites you may not have heard of yet http://bit.ly/EJbhi $$
  8. RT @RussThornton Microsoft shutters their MS Money personal finance product http://bit.ly/OEwzr
  9. Yikes - the Sovereign Bank on the corner of Highland & Webster in Needham just got robbed, latest in a string of local bank robberies
  10. Despite my recent complaints on higher prices and DRM, Kindle remains a good value, and don't let anyone say otherwise http://bit.ly/XWBAp
  11. Am I freaked out or proud that someone used my name to comment on Ritholtz's site pasting in an old blog post of mine? http://bit.ly/11Lljw
  12. I'm loath to point to a recommendation list including Nicholas Carr. Read the other 49 on Newsweek's books for right now http://bit.ly/wlrht
  13. Trying to get over the closing of Sweet Rue's, my favorite coffee and bakery joint in Needham. Today's the last day. Blah.
  14. "information wants to be expensive because it’s so valuable" the rarely cited other half of Stewart Brand's quote that info wants to be free
  15. @daringfireball Gladwell dissing Free, partly deservedly, for overselling, oversimplifying is soooo ironic given his writings
  16. RT @marketfolly interesting to see $SPG snap up the Dallas Galleria from $GGWPQ. Its a premier property for sure.
  17. @r in the negative reviews/huge sales pantheon, can Free reach Transformer2 dimensions?
  18. Round-up of last week's IPOs @greenfaucet - I agree strongly that weak markets produce strong IPOs http://bit.ly/JBzqS $DGW $MDSO $CPC $IVR
  19. "Suddenly, there’s something nice about not owning books." (another angle promoting the Kindle way of life) http://bit.ly/OKwJz
  20. @HighTalk can't agree that gladwell's nyer piece on Free was any good. cited bogus credit suisse report on youtube's costs, for example.
