  Oh My God What Happened And What Should I Do?

  Just wanted to share a gem I ran across that is excellent.

  I can say with almost unparalleled certainty that there are people in every market that are dreading adapting to a digital mindset. I’m starting to understand this is the norm on a traditional media & advertising playing field, and it can be a source of frustration for early adopters (i.e. web/digital peeps across the board).

  There’s now a free book that can possibly make that transition painless for the fearful. It’s free from the site, and all you have to trade is a tweet to get it.

  

  I passed it around here in market, and made it available on the server for those that don’t have a Twitter account.

  It’s also available from Amazon.

  Would love to know anyone’s thoughts who check it out; it’s a really great read.

  Nick’s Response to the iPad

  As a self-categorized Apple Fan-boy (like my new haircut) I was waiting for the Apple meeting last week for a month since it was announced.  Well, over a year since rumors have been spinning about the tablet Apple had in development.

  I own a Kindle that I won at an event.  I do enjoy it and have only downloaded creative commons books open to the public (I have to still support my local bookstore) .  That said, browsing on the Kindle is a royal pain.  I much prefer my iPhone.  I would wish that the Kindle had 802.11 WiFi support so it could use the wireless in my home or elsewhere instead of the Sprint phone network .  The internet access through the Sprint phone network is nifty.  For no extra cost one can browse the web nearly anywhere there is a cell connection.  The browser is very limited and the downloads are painfully slow.  But good enough for Wikipedia.  However, the thing was designed to be a book reader, and it does that job quite well.

  Next comes the iPad (horrible name).  My feeling is I will be in the market for this.  I enjoy browsing the internet while my wife watches TV.  I don’t really like NetBook computers.  My huge fingers make using a NetBook like I am wearing mittins.   But I feel we’re missing something with the iPad.

  So how do I feel about it?  I’ll let Downfall Hitler speak for my thoughts.
  

  LOL!
