This is interesting...

...not to mention disturbing. Amazon.com Telling POD Publishers - Let BookSurge Print Your Books, or Else... It's bad enough that Starbucks bought Seattle's Best Coffee several years back (All Your Coffee Are Belong To Us). At least they finally seem to be coming back to their senses as much as any ginormous company can. But if this story turns out to be true, Amazon.com will be another local company in serious need of some self-evaluation and soul-searching--not to mention some searching in order to find the soul it's lost.  Let's hope this is a tempest in a teacup and that Jeff Bezos comes down from the mountain to explain WTF is really going on.

Oh fer cryin' out loud

I've been in and out of lurk mode today since I'm fighting off a migraine, but I had to pop in to point out that a kid down the block has build a showman.  Yes, I said a snowman.  WTF!?  It's supposed to be spring!
