Check out the New Kindle here. I’m not so sure I’m really ready to give up the almighty paperback, but the ability to store and buy anywhere seems very cool. Storage space is also way up on the new Kindle and it’s thinner.

Anyone who travels frequently for business or pleasure inherently has a much larger carbon footprint than the average person. And anyone who owns their own private plane, or spends time traveling on chartered jets, as many celebrities and business execs do, has got to have a monster footprint.

I like the sandwiches, but the smell generated by the ovens that cook them up isn’t really pleasant and flat out kills that great coffee smell you expect when you walk in the store.
