Is anyone else a little weirded out by the Kindle? The digital book-reader thing that they're pushing this week.
Not necessarily the device itself, which actually appears to be pretty cool (though vastly overpriced and somewhat underachieving, but that's pretty par for the course with new-ish technology). I'm bothered by the name. "Kindle," as in kindling; as in the wood that you use to start a fire; as in go burn your books now that we have this nifty new computerized gizmo; as in Fahrenheit 451 nightmare city.
Phhheeeeeeeeeeeuuuuuw! File under: craptastic.
