Between myself and my husband we have owned more gadgets over the years than I can count, including GPS units, iPods (classic & touch), etc. I love Kindel, it’s by far the coolest toy I got. Why? Because I was very happy to discover just how well-designed and fun it is and how simple it is to use . Make sure you the pouch though as it will get scratched pretty easily.

I'm doing a research paper on the cause of the great depression and your site is proving to be alot of help, but Im trying to find even more specific info. I found this article cause of the great depression but I'm not sure I believe the 'official' story... I'm trying to find the REAL cause of the great depression, if you have any sources of some other additional sources for info please let me know.Thanks

I’ve been reading a few posts and really and enjoy your writing. I’m just starting up my own blog and only hope that I can write as well and give the reader so much insight.

going through the discussion, one cannot avoid the feeling that we are in danger of losing all the work and art we so painfully accumulated.
For sure civilization wil not be the same.
Or will it?
Only fifty years ago, we were careful to keep and store for ourselves what was important to us.
no collapsing corporation could take it away, and yet civilization flourished.
We transfered the trust of keeping and maintaing our data from ourselves to others, and the safekeeping of our stuff depended on the financial health of some company that we might not have even known the name of.
maybe it’s time to go back to the future.

No, I have never heard back from the NY Times on this. I don’t know if they monitor social media.

I did, however, compile some other horror stories that people have told me subsequent to my first posting:

Thanks, Andrew and Irene “Baratz” (aka the lovely Irene McGee, host of Noone’s Listening).

@Irene: Looks like I can gain a whole new family member in the cloud! The cloud giveth, and the cloud taketh away.

I print out and make photocopies of your blog. I keep some safely taped to my fridge and the rest I store in a water proof/fire proof safe. Additionally, I have a backup harddrive that I use to store copies of all your Twitters and Facebook status updates. I have a backup of that backup stored somewhere out of state. Your work will never be lost with me around.
Love

Good stuff. Interesting to think about…

I did a show about the Changing Face of Journalism and another one about Media Archiving on my show No One’s Listening. They might interest you as it relates to your piece.
