Amazon demonstrates yet again (as with HP) that the best way to succeed with a non-iPad tablet is to sell them below cost. |

Having been redshirted in a @barryeisler novel, I really need one of these: http://t.co/I3N5yjYM |

If Amazon uses its profits on content to subsidize its tablet, why couldn't Apple fight back by subsidizing its content (books, music)? |

@scapersuse It's an old, sad story. Check out paragraph 4 of this review: http://t.co/8H2LYGs8 |

Fire alarm last night at the hotel. Didn't have to evacuate, but it certainly interrupted my night's sleep. Groggy all day, I fear. |

Leaving CA in a few hours. Sad. Changing planes at DFW, then home to CA. Glad. |

On the bus to the airport, way too early for my flight. WiFi on the way; how very civilized. |
09:17 |
Pearson Airport in Toronto has free WiFi and outlets in the seats. Oh, Canada. You make me weep for (most of) America. |
09:34 |
@scapersuse Tired. Fire alarm at 1:30am. Didn't have to evacuate, but took long time to fall asleep. At the airport enjoying free WiFi. |
09:37 |
@scapersuse It's about 3 hours from now. The bus ride took a while, but check-in & Customs were quick. So now I listen to audiobooks. |
09:38 |
@scapersuse Yeah, and I was so looking forward to a good night's sleep! That Murphy's Law guy's a real vicious sod. |
09:47 |
Met my first Saskatchewanian on the workshop. Ron would have easily fit in on Dog River. And yes, I know it's not a real place. #cornergas |
09:56 |
@scapersuse They warned me to allow 2 hours for Customs. Still, between WiFi and my iDevices, I'll be okay. Wish I wasn't going home yet. |

Flight to DFW is delayed. So far my connection to SFO isn't at risk. So far. |
14:41 |
@KeriSterling Sounds good. Think they'll deliver to 38,000 feet? |
14:45 |
@scapersuse I think it'll be okay. And if it isn't, it could mean a night in Dallas. Not exactly the end of the world. (Typed at 38k feet) |
16:30 |
Just landed at DFW. Still an hour before my next flight. |
17:07 |
Connection to SFO is 38 min late. Wish I'd known before I bought that unimpressive tuna sandwich. |
17:19 |
@scapersuse No worries. At least I got to eat. It's a long way to the Left Coast. |
18:10 |
On the plane. Still a whole lot of hours to go. (You can tell my endurance is running out, can't you?) |
21:54 |
A flight with no WiFi? How did I survive? And yet I did. |

I can see WiFi but no power from SFO to LAX, but to Toronto? Hope my battery holds out... |
09:55 |
Just remembered to turn data roaming off on my phone. Don't want to think about the bill. *shudder* |
11:09 |
Inflight WiFi was $10 at the start of the flight. Now it's $13. Howcum? Good thing I bought it early. |
12:49 |
Flight is bumpy. Make it stop, please. |
16:36 |
My cheap hotel room turns out to be perfectly nice. And there's even free Internet. Wired, even! |
