After my previous Kindle saga I have finally received my Amazon Kindle Paperwhite. I have been using the device for a week, and love it more than the original. Amazon has refined and improved the Kindle to the point I can strongly recommend it.

Biographies and autobiographies are some of my favorite books. When a candidate runs for President they often have or will write a book in order to share their story. Pete’s story was a great read. It was candid and written in his own voice. If you want a break from the campaign rhetoric to learn about Pete’s background and interests, this book is a welcome respite.

At Code for Boston we try lots of experiments to make the Meetup better. Some of the results of them are obvious, but many have surprised me. Yesterday I pulled together a list of ones that I can recall and made a twitter thread. I also wanted to share and expand on them below:

In case you missed it, I have embedded the Code for Boston Demo Night 2019 video below. It was a fantastic capstone to the hard work the project teams at Code for Boston did last year.

In 2009 I received my first Amazon Kindle. The Kindle is Amazon’s tool for reading e-books that took advantage of new e-ink technology. Instead of having to read your book on a tablet you could read it on a display that looked more like a physical book. The advantage of the e-ink display is that is uses less power and views better in direct sunlight than the LCD displays on our other devices. The disadvantage is that the e-ink displays are not yet generally available in color. If you like to read, owning Amazon Kindle or a similar device is worth your while.
