3 Ways the Kindle Kicks the iPad’s Ass

June 27, 2010

Photo c/o Engadget

Before anything else, let me say that I have both the Kindle and the iPad, and as my friend Carlo would say,  I love them more than my future children.

To most people, the iPad or Kindle decision is a no-brainer. (I mean, geez, just look at the picture above). For the most part, the app-laden iPad is the snazzier and understandably more popular gadget, making the “What?? Just reading??? No pretty colors???” Kindle seem like a poor, ugly and slightly retarded stepsibling.

BUT… if you’re a book-lover, I have to say the Kindle is King.  Here’s why:

1. No backlighting = No eye strain.

If you’re the type of person who takes forever to finish a book, then by all means, forget the Kindle and read on your iPad. But if, like me, you’re a dorky speed-reading bookworm who can devour two or more books in one night, then do your eyes a favor and grab a Kindle.

How to: Forecast Weather (Without Any Gadgets!)

June 5, 2010

I’ve been rather heavy on the nonsensical (but c’mon, admit it, pretty funny) posts recently, so I figured it was about time to offer something useful. 

Not really sure how accurate your weather forecasts will be, but hey, if you say anything with enough conviction, people will probably believe you. You can learn to deal with the backlash later. :)
