Dear. Ms. Duncan, Living in the South, I keep a close eye on the weather during hurricane season. Like right now with Hurricane Earl twitching around out there.

Kindles were out of stock and most people (except Gizmodo) thought that new Kindles were around the corner. Most people were right. Kindle 3 is 21% smaller and 15% lighter.

Dear Ms. Morsi, I, for one, am glad that your husband sat you down in front of a typewriter all those years ago and urged you – in so many words – to write that novel that you wanted to. My reading would be the poorer if he hadn’t. “The Bikini Car Wash” is a(…)
