PERSONALIZE YOUR KINDLE |
Amazing but true |

PROTECTING AIR TRAVEL ON THE CHEAP West Columbia, SC (NEWSWIRE) Today’s news, after our President’s speech regarding airport security, leaves your humble craftsman quite unsettled. It’s no secret that making Kindle covers is not my real job, that there really is a serious job that sustains the Strangedog family and the weeks per year of which I am not boarding an airplane are few. If the issue was pressed, I suggest I could qualify for residence status in Georgia, simply for the amount of time spent in the Atlanta airport. It is reported that the US currently has 40 whole-body-imaging scanners in use at 19 airports. In addition $25 million was dedicated last year for the purchase of another 150 imaging screeners and now has appropriated money to buy another 300, at a cost of $130 - $170 thousand each. This morning finds me trying to cipher the grand total, only giving up after a really strong headache. According to my calculations, that started to get fuzzy with all those zeros, 130,000 x 300 basically was a big number. Somehow I’ve lost the decimal point (those things are so small) but still it’s a lot of money. As a qualified frequent flyer that has been groped more than a cheap stripper by the highly qualified TSA agents, I suggest a fail safe way to provide airport security with far less money required. Sensing the skepticism of my clever readers who are now thinking “how much money”, I’ve done the math. The grand total for full airport security, with a solution that has been tested by time, is $2100. Yes, twenty one ($2100) dollars grand total at one dollar each for the 450 US airports with a total of 2100 screening lines! The fact that this technology has been available for decades, thus time tested, and has not been considered smells of scandal, politicians in bed with millimeter-wave scanner manufacturers, Sarah Palin writing a book and Jane Pauley anchoring the nightly news. When will the madness end? As a concerned citizen, American, patriot, frequent flyer and all around nice guy that occasionally makes Kindle covers I have exhaustively researched the issue of airline security. I therefore, in an act of civic duty, present my solution at no cost to the American tax payer. I certify that I am no way financially associated with the product endorsed and any rumors to the same are vicious and unfounded and likely were started by some body scan lobby.

Kindle Cover
Don't waste your time reading the description if you fall into any of the following categories:
This is a handmade cover available in many styles. It is lightly padded fabric over artist stiff board, has a metal clip to hold the Kindle and leather center binding. The case easily folds over and adjust for left or right hand holding. There is a strong chance that you will be quite unique as there are not millions on the market due to the fact that I only make a couple when the mood strikes. I'm amazed at the number of complaints regarding the Kindle case and the limited options for replacement. The majority of the discussion generally centers around the lack of ability to comfortably read with the device in the case. After a futile search for the ultimate case, I simply made my own. While thousands have taken the razor and Velcro approach to the original case, the only objective reached is that the device no longer falls out. It remains uncomfortable to hold in a natural position while reading. Others have gravitated to the leather "not named" commercial case with pockets to hold stuff. The fact remains that although attractive and business like, it doesn't feel like a book, the device is loosely supported by a flap, and there is no practical reason to store business cards in your book (extra pockets). more... |

DEAR STRANGEDOG Useless advice from a most unqualified source |

Hey Big Dog.... I'm thinking of selling my Kindle. It's caused me nothing but trouble. I'm a big guy, ride a smoking boss Harley, enjoy having a longneck with my buds and reading Nicholas Sparks books. I purchased one of your covers recently. Every time I pull my Kindle from my saddle bag the harassment begins often ending with someone getting cut. What do bikers have against reading? Snake Dear Snake, I've personally heard no reports that bikers take offence to reading. Many of these guys are family men and business professionals. I'm concerned with your choice of cover style as there is a remote possibility your buds have a problem with flowers. You might want to dress up your cover with some blood stains, barb wire or consider one of my canvas/leather covers. You might want to balance out your reading with a few selections from Lee Child. |

Dear Mr. Dog A lot of products are advertised as "dish washer safe". What exactly does "dish washer safe" mean and does the Kindle meet this safety standard? Phobic in Philly Dear PIP The term "dish washer safe" refers to the compatibility between appliances. This analogy is better explained in the animal kingdom i.e.: mongoose and cobra, natural enemies. The Kindle should be perfectly safe in or around a dish washer, provided the dish washer is not powered on. The same standard would apply between the Kindle and a toaster oven, especially if the toaster oven was completely disconnected from a power supply.
