Rumors Continue to Swirl about UK Kindle Release

Numerous rumors are flying around that as early as next week Amazon may announce that the Kindle 2 will be released in The UK.

After the announcement, the Kindle 2 could start shipping in 2-3 weeks.

It will be interesting to see which mobile carrier will serve the Kindle, as I'm sure this is what the hold up was in releasing to Great Britain.  Who could be next?  Canada, France, Asia are possibilities.

14 Years Old and Leading on LPGA

Alexis Thompson is 14 and leading and event on The LPGA Tour.  Alexis fired a 7 under par 65 today to take the first round lead at The Navistar LPGA Classic in Prattville, Alabama.

Alexis is currently leading over such notables as Lorena Ochoa, Michelle Wie, Meaghan Francella, and Christina Kim. 

Although Thompson is only 14, she is no stranger to playing in LPGA events.  She played in The 2007 U.S. Women's Open at the ripe old age of 12.

Good luck to Alexis, this would be a great story for The LPGA Tour.

MLB Playoffs Right Around the Corner

I haven't been following it that closely, but we are about a week away from the MLB Playoffs starting.

Let's take a quick look at the American and National Leagues.

NATIONAL:

Dodgers

Cardinals

Phillies

Colorado - Magic number is 1

AMERICAN:

Yankees

Red Sox

Angels

Tigers or Twins

For some reason I see the Cardinals and Yankees might be matching up in The World Series.

Possible spoilers might be Dodgers and Angels.  What are the chances of an all So Cal series?

The Mighty Wallet is Mighty Cool

Looking for something durable, safe, and different looking for a wallet; well, look no further than The Mighty Wallet by Dinomighty Design, Inc.

They have this tear resistant, indestructible wallet in many cool designs.  I bought the Dot Matrix Pi Mighty Wallet a few weeks ago and it has lived up to its billing.  It does look like a folded piece of dot matrix printer paper, but its sleek design feels comfortable in your pocket.

The secret is that the wallet is made from Tyvek, as in indestructible express mailing envelopes.  The wallet is slim, but will easily expand to fit your storage needs.  It is recyclable and water resistant, I've tested it.  I find it will hold about 12 credit cards easily, and a few business cards.  I love it so far, and  the looks it gets when I pull it out are priceless.
