Tech Accessory Holiday Gift Idea Day 1: Verso Prologue Kindle Fire Cover

I'm going to try a Herculean task here and it's to put out a tech accessory gift idea each day until Christmas.  Some may be iPad or PC related, some may loosely called a tech item.

Hopefully you'll get an idea or two of some unique and popular items that might fit a person on your list.

Hopefully you'll also click on the link provided and order once or twice during the month.

Let's start out with a cover for the hottest gadget going this holiday season, the Kindle Fire.

It's the Verso Prologue Kindle Fire Cover and I love it in the tan color.

The Prologue cover was specifically designed for Kindle Fire unlike some other covers you will see that are left over from tablets that never made it.

It's light and thin, but the interior lining protects your Kindle Fire screen. A slim pocket is there for essentials.

The specially designed corner strap system features long-life elastic straps with no-slip silicone. Strap length, tension, and placement are custom-engineered to hold onto the Kindle Fire and not let go.

Order yours here:

Happy shopping!

A Turkey in a Dining Room on Thanksgiving?

Not that unusual you say.

A wild turkey smashed through a plate glass window at an empty western Pennsylvania restaurant and ended up where millions of its fellow gobblers did on Thanksgiving: a dining room.

Penn Hills police Officer Bernard Sestili says the feathered fowl didn’t survive impact when it barreled into the dining room of the Eat’n Park in Penn Hills on Thursday afternoon. The restaurant was closed at the time.

Sestili says he responded when the building’s alarm went off.

He suspects the turkey may have been roosting in a nearby tree when it “got up this morning and went for his morning flight and flew into the window.”
