New Amazon Kindles →
Wow! With a starting price of $79, they are really making a strong play for the holiday season. And the new “Kindle Fire” is a VERY tempting tablet device for $199. Though I still wouldn’t call it a threat to the iPad.

Epic trike racing →
via Zach Bowman for Autoblog
A trio of daredevils have taken to slinging themselves down mountain passes on modified big-boy trikes with nothing but the soles of their shoes for deceleration.
