I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

Note the one thread that has a different color? That's the one that only has read messages. The other orange colors, those have unread messages.

Note: please do not make fun of my thread subscriptions

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I would not mock someone being as helpful as you are. Okay. I should see that different coloured envelope soon.

Is this explained somewhere? I swear I looked in their FAQ.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I have no idea actually. Last time I looked at the FAQ, I think it was 6 years ago or something.

Hah! The Kindle 2 arrived last night. It is certainly much thinner, although I think the screen is the same size, which was my main issue with the whole concept.

Our wings are not tired

I find it pretty nice to hold. I got pair of them for Kristin and me.

You can access Wikipedia from it? What other internetty things can it access?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

According to xkcd, wikitravel.

It makes sense they'd limit internetty things, because you're getting it via free G3 cellphone access.
