Kindle Fire

Amazon announced the Kindle Fire today. It is their answer to the iPad. It is an Android device that is light and durable with access to all of Amazon's books, movies and TV shows.

This may well be the first product that actually challenges the iPad.

I really would not want to be Barns and Noble right now!

Sara

This is Sara. I met her last Sunday. She is the cheetah looking out the window in my previous blog post.

Isn't she stunning.

An Open Window

There is nothing like an open window on a Fall day to soak in the view.

I spent the afternoon taking photos of Nia and Sara. Insomuch that Cheetahs can see as far as three miles away, there is no telling what she was looking at :-)

Zoofari 2011

Zoofari 2011 was the best ever. This is the annual black-tie fund raiser for the Cincinnati Zoo.

The weather was amazing and Emily got her photo in the Cincinnati Enquirer.

New World Record Maine Coon

It looks like Stewie just set a new world record. This Maine Coon measures 48.5 inches. He is in the 2010 Guinness Book of World Records.

Nikon 1

Nikon has finally announced a mirrorless line of cameras called the Nikon 1. They are rather late to the game on this one. In fact, Canon is the only other manufacturer that has not yet released a mirrorless line of cameras.

Given Nikon's poor reception in the compact camera arena, it will be interesting to see how this works out for them. At 10.1mp and $650, it is appealing.

Now if they would only release the update to the D700!

Graeme - A Rock Star

This is a heartwarming story. Graeme follows his owner to the train station every day when she goes to work. He them visits with people that pass by all day while waiting on his owner to return. Graeme spends all day making friends.

Graeme always knows which train his mother is on.

Great story!
