Should I buy a Kindle?

Do blind people ever find secret messages on their arms when they get goosebumps?

Should I jailbreak my iphone so that I can stream live video from it to my blog?

When I push the plunger too hard and it inverts, is there a way to un-invert it without touching it or popping toilet water all over myself?

Do black people whisper when they refer to “white people” in their stories?

I’m leaving to day for Catalyst West Coast.  This means you need to

  1. be on the look out for a new website Tyler and I are launching
  2. follow me on twitter
  3. check back for live video feeds from the event (given I’m talked into jailbreaking my iphone)

    My wife has a Kindle (first version, not the new, even cooler version). I love it, and am very jealous that she has it and doesn’t share as much. If you read enough to justify it, it’s awesome to have, and really simplifies the whole book acquisition process.

    i literally did the math for you on this one. assuming books on kindle are $10 and your average borders purchase is $15. You break even on your kindle after purchasing 70 books. At the 70 book mark, you have spent just as much on your kindle and books as you would on 70 actual books. Total cost for this investment- $1,050- before taxes. so sure, buy it you plan to keep it for the duration of your life.

    there had better be some good updates

    and on #4 is a plight that curses all of us. i have a plunger now that fits into the hole itself. Aren’t you embarrassed to mention that you plugged the toilet int the first place?

    1. no

    2. only the paronoid blind. (or the one’s who have been “CHOSEN!” – in a creepy wispy voice)

    3. hmmm, tough call. my heart says do it, but my conscience says no.

    4. try putting the rubber side down and holding the wooden pole with your HAND. (drum ba-dum-ching)

    5. only in jokes. ( this is my 8th try for this one, dangerous territory)

    You have a valid point Nate. But aren’t you also against twitter?

  • nate

    i am, and decidedly so. i’m glad you appreciate my point, though. i put 5 minutes of good work into that comment (2 minutes just setting up the formulas in excel).
