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

What sort of books are available for the Kindle? Just newly-published ones? Or are they Kindleizing older books too?

I'm reading The Eight (1980something) on Kindle now (AInotFG, because I hate the Kindle, but it's massively on hold at the library and I got two chapters into The Fire before I realized I needed to re-read The Eight or I'd be too confused.)

I've heard such terrible things about the G1's battery life that I'm willing to wait for a 2nd-gen Android phone.

Hey, speaking of the Kindle, does anyone know if you need a Kindle in order to buy books on the Kindle iPhone app?

From what I read, no. You can't use the iPhone app, though - you gotta buy books on a browser.

Oh right - I mainly meant, can I buy Amazon ebooks for the iPhone now that they've got the Kindle app out.

has anyone here moved their Dreamhost email accounts over to Gmail's system?

Not Dreamhost, but I'm just starting/testing out this process. It seems quite easy.

My iPhone makes me laugh and clap my hands. Other times it makes me go "Grrrrrr," but then I remember that it's shiny and pretty, and I forgive it.

Sean seems to be confusing his phone with Tinkerbelle.
