Death of a Kindle My first generation Kindle gave up the ghost last week. Interestingly enough, the e-ink kept its death mask during the entire autopsy.

Not Really

Received an email from Amazon.com this morning, letting me know I might want to preorder another game based on the fact that I preordered the Anniversary edition of Halo: Combat Evolved.

“Customers who have purchased or rated Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary might like to know that Disney Universe will be released on October 25, 2011.”

Cool… wait, WHAT?!? Who programmed THAT algorithm??? In what world is Master Chief similar to Mickey Mouse?!

Hey Amazon, No. No I don’t.

Not Oxygen

Overheard from the back seat as we were driving to my mother-in-law’s:
Madeline (older cousin): Hey look! There’s an auction house.
Gretchen: Cool. So people can breathe easier in there?
Madeline: Auction. NOT Oxygen. They sell stuff. (laughs)
Gretchen: My bad.

“After blowing into a harmonica for twenty minutes: How do people in jail play these things?!? This is hard!”
