The $399 Sony Reader Daily Edition completes their trio of new eBook readers, a line that features the recently announced $299 Touch Edition, and the $199 Pocket Edition. Shipping this December, the Daily Edition sports a 3G wireless broadband connection (powered by AT&T) enabling it to download content over-the-air a la Amazon Kindle. Also like Kindle, there are no connection fees, nor option to surf the web. Unlike Kindle, Sony is uncharacteristically supporting the EPUB standard, which means that purchased content is interoperable with other software and devices. Mac users are officially supported now too! (Isn't competition great?) This Mac user will seriously consider a Sony Reader should the fabled Apple tablet or something better fail to materialize by the first half of 2010. In the meantime, kudos to Sony for acting on customer feedback, and taking advantage of the open EPUB format.

The last pan met an untimely death. Did some research and decided to go with an All-Clad Stainless series 12-inch fry pan. (Probably could have gone with a 10-inch.) It's made of a three-ply bond of 18/10 stainless steel on the inner cooking surface, an aluminum conduction core, and a magnetic stainless steel exterior (for compatibility with induction cooktops). The handle is also all-metal so the pan can be popped into the oven, a use outside the cooking range of this bachelor. All-Clad marketing says the pan is dishwasher safe—it seems pretty much indestructible—but their instructions recommend washing by hand to keep it shiny. Their marketing also says the pan is made in the USA out of American-made metals so it was amusing to learn that the lid is made in China.
