A nice historical retelling of the Amazon and Ebay stores and their relative successes and failures.

Had this wine at home last night and adored it. Black cherry, coffee, cigar and that smokey, gravelly Tempranillo goodness. Big wine with a long dry finish. Lovely.

I independently scored this in my wine journal as a 92 which appears to be what some of the pros are looking at...

Ouch. Silicon Alley Insider (via Clusterstock) doesn't seem to believe Borders is better off "going it alone" and running their own website.

Quoted: Borders hopes that taking its site in-house will compensate for its sputtering bricks-and-mortar store business. Unfortunately, it's more likely Borders will now be able to fail at two businesses instead of one.

Jan and I bought a Nikon D40 from Kit's Camera last night - this package in fact... With taxes and everything we were out the door at $650. We got a camera body, 15-55mm lens, 55-200mm lens, case, two starter DVDs, 18 lessons up at the Kit's in Alderwood, and a $50 gift card. I think that was a good deal...

I picked up this board (162) half-off last weekend at Stevens Pass. I absolutely love it.

Quoted: The Salomon Special Snowboard is perfectly balanced for every line, feature and challenge. On all types of terrain, the Salomon Special Snowboard works well: lively and dynamic, it gives you the feeling you can adapt to anything. The Special snowboard's versatility is exceptional allowing you to be at ease on slopes as well as in parks or backcountry like you could never imagine. Light and aggressive, it is THE all mountain board that makes its own path.

The new Dengue Fever album is coming January 22nd. I've heard a couple tracks and it sounds just as amazing as the first two. I love "Tiger Phone Card!"
