Amazon's Tablet - Kindle Fire - Now Shipping!
Here's what some critics are saying about it.
I already have an iPad2. I've used a few other tablet devices for a short period of time (1-2 months), and also have owned other ebook readers from Amazon and Barnes and Nobles.
Bottom line is if you want to primarily read books, you get an ebook reader. My pick for that is Kindle, Wi-Fi, 6" E Ink Display - includes Special Offers & Sponsored Screensavers
Otherwise, iPad2 is still the king. Let's hope Apple drops the pricing a bit in iPad3 or gives some of us the display we really wanted - Retina!
How to Turn Photos Into Cash
These days its really easy to get into, but difficult to make wads and wads of cash without some work. It can be done, but you really have to be vigilant in producing photographs people want.
Just from personal experience, I've uploaded about 7 photographs to www.istockphoto.com, and you can click the link and see what those 7 photographs are.
I just wanted to point out that the photographs aren't stunning. But if you just look at the ones in my link, you'd never believe the biggest seller.
It's the picture of a simple brick. I've made over $200 on that single picture since I've uploaded it. It wasn't difficult to setup, photograph, or anything. I used a Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1
Imagine what you could do if you actually worked at it in your spare time.
Zombie Apocalypse Vehicle
Let's say the Zombie Apocalypse hit, and you need a civilian vehicle to get you through your daily errands. This is the vehicle to get you in and out of a jam:
'Unlimited' Everything for $19.99 - Republic Wireless
Today marks the launch of a new assault against traditional wireless phone companies as we know it.
Republic wireless has introduced one plan to rule them all! OK, well not everyone, but for $19.99 you get everything you get unlimited everything as long as you stick to wifi most of the time.
How is this possible? It will route everything through your Wifi - and when you are out and about when there isn't any wifi, your phone will work through Sprint.
How is this possible? With UMA Technology. UMA, or Unlicensed Mobile Access is something that T-Mobile has been using for a while. This technology allows your phone to use your WiFi Access Point to use your internet access for data, phone calls, text messages through your Wifi. It's not completely new as it's been used by other carriers who don't have great reception everywhere - ie, the Microcell for AT&T.

This type of fruit was on the show Terra Nova
It's called a Dragon Fruit, and this version is red inside. My mom grew it in the backyard starting back when you could not find this type of fruit in the store. Apparently it's also known as a Pitaya, but Dragon Fruit is so much more fun.
When it flowers, it's absolutely stunning. I think I tweeted a picture of the flower over the summer.
Arc Notebook System - I'm a Fan!
In a nutshell, it replaces your regular binder with a proprietary ring system called the Arc. The big deal is that you can insert, remove, papers and accessories from your notebook with the security of a spiral bound but the flexibility of a 3 ring binder.
Want to blow $15,000 or so on some fans?
Neither do I. But here you can see what you can do in your spare time with that spare change.
Crocs, the funny looking footwear company now has high heel shoes
I never even considered wearing crocs because of they way they looked, and the neon colors I remember seeing in stores. They seemed really expensive and didn't look or feel durable.
My mind changed when my brother showed up in a pair of crocs for an overseas tropical island trip and they looked and felt like regular, but quality shoes that were extremely comfortable and versatile.
My first pair of crocs were sandals I got over the summer. They're great and look cool too! Over the weekend I picked up another pair of really comfortable crocs that look more traditional on the outside but really comfortable on the inside. And I've given out a few pairs as gifts too and I'm not even the type to get excited about shoes.
A friend bought some heels with croc technology and she loves them. Ladies, looking for the benefits of heels without the pain should really look at the new stuff they've got.
Check them out on zappos or 6PM which has a sale going on right now.
