Soldiers' Angels

My Sunday school class participated in a project to fill Christmas stockings and send them to soldiers who cannot be home for the holidays.

Linoge has started a similar fundraiser to support Soldiers' Angels. Beyond the warm fuzzy feeling you will get for helping out, he has a few incentives (the latest Stephen Hunter novel, some East TN MHI patches, and maybe more) to giveaway for those that participate.

Cruise on over to his site and get all the details - HERE!

I put my money where my mouth is and I'm pitching in.

4.74 Degrees of Separation

It doesn't roll off the tongue like six degrees, but apparently it is only 4.74 degrees of separation today.

Kindle Fire Phone

Harry McCraken says:

"I’m not saying that a Kindle Fire phone would be an antidote to Android fragmentation. Actually, if it’s like the Kindle Fire tablet, it would be one of the most fragmented Android phones of all, since Amazon would utterly rework the operating system to serve its purposes. But the Kindle Fire, with its simpler interface and deeply-integrated services, is fragmentation with a point, rather than the random, unsatisfying fragmentation that otherwise pervades Android.

I have no reason to believe that Amazon is planning to make a Kindle phone. Then again, I’d be startled if it hadn’t at least pondered the possibility. I’d consider buying one–would you?"

But why not see this as a way to start chipping away at Apple's strengths. Amazon has often said it is not just a book seller. As General Neyland would say... Carry the fight to our opponent and keep it there.
