The Amazing Kindle from Amazon
Nov 19th
Not much in the way of press about this but all of a sudden this kindling has turned into a fire. Amazon has brought E-ink digital paper technology to the backpack and reading chair overnight. The Kindle is sort of like a notebook and sort of like a paperback, but not. It uses Amazon’s Whispernet to download new volumes, books, newspapers, blogs etc. It even has Wikipedia access. The display is readable in all types of lighting that normal paper is readable in. I can’t describe how cool this is so you will have to check it out yourself.

Want to learn how to make money trading
Sep 25th
Forex.com is offering free $50,000 accounts (of play money) so you can learn how to make money trading money. This isn’t an ad I just thought that was interesting. I wish Sharebuilder would do the same for stocks.

From time to time I might post some goofy animal picture. Yes I know, the majority of them are stupid. The propagation will continue because not everyone finds the same ones stupid. So people find lolcat pictures and forward them to their friends. There are even sites dedicated to archiving them and there is even a site that helps you make your own!

More Wonders at Cellfish.com
Sep 8th
If you haven’t signed up now, go on over to Cellfish.com and register, it’s free and there is loads of content to browse. There is some premium content but much of it is free, plus you get to upload your own and share with friends. I wrote about this previously and shared the hilarious Dramatic Chipmunk with you. I thought it was neat enough to ask the plug-in writer for videos to include Cellfish.com so I could post their content on my blog (more about that later).
The site is super easy to use. If you have been around the web a time or two then it will all be second nature to you. In fact, I just uploaded the video you see below about why sumo if better than karate in less than a minute. You can view it here or if you like it, select the ’send to phone’ option and have it sent to your phone!
Your account details are easy to change as well. From any page you can select ‘My Account’ at the top, then the ‘Messages/Alert’ tab and change how you want to be notified about new content, friends, people subscribing to your page, someone sharing content with you and media uploaded to your page.
Just look at that video above, it can be a ringtone, a different video or a picture. Now think about how easy it was to share it with you and how you can send it to your phone. Now imagine you doing that with your own content, or downloading other people’s content or even Free Ringtones! It’s really that easy. Go Register Now!
Mobile Mike to the Rescue!
Sep 1st
I know there are literally thousands of people that have been dying to be able to read this site from their phones. Well rest easy my tired and forsaken people, salvation has arrived. You can know view a decent version of Mike Benton Dot Org from your mobile phone! Just point your phone browser to www.mikebenton.org and the website will do the rest. In the mobile version if you see […] that means the theme has broken down the front page so you can see the intros for each post. Go ahead and click on the post’s title for the full posting.
Below is a video of the site from a Windows Mobile phone. If you are using Windows Mobile or Pocket PC and are still seeing the desktop version then you probably have the phone identifying itself as a desktop (to fix, in Pocket Internet Explorer click Menu > View > Default)
Enjoy your Mobile Mike Madness!
PS the search doesn’t work right L
