# Hello

If you missed last week's issue you missed a lot of great reads and me announcing the Kindle Fire giveaway. Lastly, if you are interested in advertising with Hacker Newsletter in 2012 you can either contact me or LaunchBit directly. Elizabeth and her co-founders do a great job matching your needs with publishers like myself. Thanks! +Kale
