Wow. TRON, 2010

No, not a new movie, as far as I know -- but a loving fan tribute to the original movie. I saw this on SF Signal and have to share -- full screen --

You will want to see the movie again! Here's SF Signal's link. They also have the original trailer from 1982, which now feels like a fan effort, in the old sense of the words. What a difference a few years makes!

E-book readers -- party like it's $9.99

Today is your last chance to get e-books in many discount and other loyalty programs. The new agency modeling agreement goes into effect April 1st, tomorrow, and this will automatically slap several more dollars on the prices of e-books. This is happeneing so fast retailers haven't finished their new agreements yet. Kobo is offering $2.00 off every title they carry purchased before midnight tonight -- the the PW article didn't say WHICH midnight, so start checking now! Expect a lot of e-books to rise from $9.99 to $12.99.

Me, no book reader yet. So no savings.
