Amazon Kindle Paperwhite
I recently purchased a Kindle Paperwhite. It’s by far the best Kindle produced by Amazon, and easily the best e-reader released yet. The Kindle e-ink reading experience has a new dimension by the inclusion of a front-lit light that gives the Kindle its paper-white appearance. Now to read, read, read!

Newly updated, the content reflects the renewed interest in TM thanks in part to the David Lynch Foundation, [...]
The Secret
I’m about to watch The Secret again. The Secret is essentially the law of attraction. You attract what you think. The film and the book are both big on positive thinking and about how to set yourself up to attract what you desire, and be grateful for what you have. It’s inspiring, mystical, and grandiose [...]
The Canyons
Lindsay Lohan in Bret Easton Ellis’ #Post-Empire film ‘The Canyons’ trailer, scheduled for release in 2013. Campy, retro, and all things less than zero. I can’t wait.
