  1. Check out Odd Products, a new blog that's almost too much fun: http://is.gd/5ozA3 (Disclaimer: the OP author is my lovely & talented wife)
  2. The ultimate maker? Malawi teen teaches himself h/t build a windmill & so brings electricity to his dirt-poor village http://is.gd/5nyUu
  3. RT @newscientist: For the greedy (me) and the mathematically pedantic among you: The perfect way to slice a pizza http://bit.ly/8hg6Ek
  4. .@hal_nino Yes, lots of folks are happy with the Kindle. There were lots of happy DOS users in 1989, too! The Kindle is the DOS of ereaders.
  5. An interview with yours truly is now up on informIT: http://is.gd/5ipZp
  6. The Kindle is inelegant & already feels old-fashioned, esp. when you see what's just around the corner: http://is.gd/5i1bx (thx @chriswebb)
  7. Cool *and* delicious: Slicing a bagel into a Möbius strip: http://j.mp/6KnEW7 (via @joergheber)
  8. .@CollinHedegard Nope, I haven't got "lawyer up" on Word Spy, mostly because it's already in many dictionaries. It is newish, tho (c 1995).
  9. @LeighStouffer Thanks so much for the kind comments about the Twitter book. I appreciate it!
  10. All I really want for Christmas is a pair of North Face E-Tip gloves: http://is.gd/5h2ls
  11. .@CoverMonkey Yes, iPhone-friendly gloves are now available at retail. For example, B&H sells the Tavo glove: http://is.gd/5gX8x
  12. In the car on a cold morning, stopped at a light. Don't want to take my gloves off, so I tap some stuff on my phone with, yes, my nose.
  13. Very cool: "A Letter of Benjamin Franklin, Esq; to Mr. Peter Collinson, F. R. S. concerning an Electrical Kite" http://is.gd/5bqG5
  14. @CollinHedegard You're welcome! I'm glad you found the book useful. Cheers!
  15. RT @DanielPink: Two bacteria walk into a bar . . . Science jokes to make you groan. http://bit.ly/6PI46b (via @boingboing & Dr Tetel)
  16. @manuelgop Hi back! I hope you enjoy the book.
  17. Tried reading a novel in 3 formats: hardcover, Kindle, & iPhone (Stanza). HC wins, of course, but I much preferred the iPhone to the Kindle.
  18. Okay, so I got myself a Kindle. On a scale of 1 to 10, I give it a 10, if by "10" you mean "utterly, depressingly disappointing."
  19. .@scottros IMO, the heaviest tweeters are folks for whom the amt of work they have to do is way less than the amt of time they have to do it
  20. RT @GlennF: As I've said before, Twitter gives me insight into the billions of hours of extra time the child-free have. (via @scottros)
