I only age in years.
First up, homg! C. bought me an Amazon Kindle for my birthday! It's so bootiful! I have named it Lysippe (for now) as she was an Amazon queen and her name means, "She Who Lets Loose the Horses". ...that refers to the way I'm going to stampede my way across the Kindle offerings and download a herd of new books. Hm. My logic is tenuous.
Any hints or tips for making my Kindle experience awesome?

A Quiet Shelter There Anthology - We are looking for: Stories about companion or service animals. We expect most of the stories to be about cats or dogs, but will not rule out stories that deal with other animals. We will accept fiction and poetry only. No essays. No nonfiction articles. Preference will be given to speculative fiction: science fiction, fantasy, horror, magical realism, etc. But we will also consider other kinds of fiction, including (and especially) humor. Just in case anyone is interested.
5 Ways to Outwit the ATM - Ooooh, there's some good advice here! I rarely carry cash on me and I don't have a cache of cash at home. If I were truly concerned about suddenly having to go on the run for some reason I would make sure I had enough cash on hand to get me out of country. Oh, wait, that was a movie I watched and not my life. BUT STILL! Also, my bank card has been frozen THREE TIMES now because of suspected fraud in point-of-sale or ATM transactions.
Oh!! Gail Vaz-Oxley did a guest spot on that blog! And she talked about making a budget! <3 I love her so much and she is now a SUPERSTAR in my books for using the word, "kwitcherbitchin" in her article.
Oooh a budget percent calculator - This is so easy to use! Just plop in your monthly earnings and it divvies it up into areas of spending. (Be that jars, envelopes, whatever.) Very useful.
Holy cow! I went to high school with this guy - I love seeing people I knew twenty years ago coming into their own! He was just as charismatic back then. Mostly I remember his always wearing a plastic Yoda figurine around his neck.
An flister posted about 'moustache guards' and I had to research further. This article does a great job of explaining this bit of tech that I'm sure hipsters and steampunk enthusiasts will resurrect if they haven't already.
