I was just on technical support with a product that shall remain nameless, and I was having difficulty accessing something, and the support person told me to enter the code "batwoman". I seriously had to read it three times to be sure I wasn't making stuff up in my own little DC girl power headspace, but, no, "batwoman" is the real code, and gets me into where I need to be.

Cool.

For those of you who remain interested in airstash, apparently the company now has stock. I know it is on sale at Amazon (here is a link):

but if you go to airstash.com you might see other vendors listed as well. Part of the description:

I like my first gen unit. I don't know about the 2nd gen units.

I'd love to put DropBox on my work computer so I can then see stuff at home, but I don't think the corporate IT folks would be at all happy about that. My particular job doesn't involve anything that I need to access at home.

Um, so I got a Kindle Touch as a department holiday gift, and now I don't know what to do with my life. I never actually wanted an e-reader because I like real books! And I don't want to pay for the same book twice.

So what else can I do with a Kindle Touch besides buying books that I would rather buy physically? I suppose there are some books that I don't want to actually own and take up space but I want to read and maybe I will find convenience here, and maybe there are things that are only available as e-books or something. I'm sure a lot of you with Kindles also love physical books, so how has getting one change your book-buying habits? (I mean, I still buy CDs, okay.)

Kindle Touch? I don't know how good its tablet functionality is.

I like physical books, but the snappy convenience of buying and having a book anytime anywhere is totally addictive to me, Nookwise. Also, the idea of having certain books on me at all times is great--I have Hitchhiker's on paper, obviously. But now, I can sit down and read it again anytime anywhere.

Mostly now I look for ebook first for anything that's not layout dependent. Especially anything I'd get in paperback.

There are also free ebooks in public domain, and library books.

Oh yeah, I think I'm going to eat up the free ebooks.

And then never get around to reading them.

Yeah, that is kind of cool! Like I have Machine of Death on my phone! With the Kindle app. But now I can have it bigger. ALSO, maybe then I will read that free Skulduggery Pleasant book sometime. Although those books have pretty badass covers and I would want to buy them.

And I totally need to figure out how the library ebooks work! Because that would be fucking great, not to have to get to the library before it closes or whatever.

Amazon has that lending library for Prime-account-having Kindle owners. You can take advantage of that.

Library books and travel.

Oh yeah! I totally have Prime. That's only one book a month, but that's not bad, though, especially if it can let me read some really recent books that I wouldn't be able to get at the library.

Do I need to get a screen protector and a case and all that? What do people recommend?
