apparently right now is a good time to re-sell kid's books. If you have good condition kid's books you might want to get rid of, I'd suggest listing them as fast as possible on Amazon. 6 of the 7 I listed just after Thanksgiving have sold. I did only list things I could get at least $1 for, and I did list them all so I would be the low price. One other tip - in the description I write that I am an individual seller and not a store, a couple of people have commented on it, it seems to be a draw for a certain type of buyer. ANd if you mail by media mail, you generally make a bit off the shipping allowance AMazon provides.

Now tagless for your comfort.

But swears by it for what? What is the differentiator in such a saturated market? I'd imagine most people would be happy with a Windows phone. But who'd be unhappy without one?

He's not especially swayed by marketing and ads. I think he was just looking for something new to compare to the iOS--and he told me the Windows phone was even more user friendly than the iPhone. I was never tempted by it. I'm more swayed by personal recommendations, even though I find Apple's ads very pretty.

Man, JZ, that's beautiful and you are making me cry a little.

Congrats, zuisa! That's awesome news! Also, glad to see you again.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I was interested in the GS3 before the ads started coming out because I follow gadget news, but I'm not gonna lie, the ads make a pretty compelling case. (And then I went to the store and played around with one and OMGSOPRETTY. My iPhone looks so puny and clunky in comparison.)

JZ, I love that story. I can't believe Em is 8 though. No way that much time has passed.

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

Check out this xkcd: Two Years

It's about his fiance (now wife) being diagnosed with cancer two years ago.

Happy Birthday, Em!

I'd say I can't believe your Em is 8, but since my Em is 13 I have too much evidence that time has passed.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I've been toying with the idea of the GS3 too, since I need a new phone, and it is indeed OMG pretty,

I have concerns about adding that to my household of Macs and ipads, but I still might make the switch.

it's kinda minimal. maybe too abstract for me. making an existential statement?

and the edit correction makes me look crazy.
