I’ve been using, off and on, WordPress to maintain a blog of what is going on. My advanced skill (joking) has gotten me to the point of being able to add entries and tag them. I stumble through the setup but really relied upon the Cpanel to install it on my site and then the […]
I recently just took a trip with my family and the experience of going through the airport was amusing. I have two kids and one stroller which translates to a lot of baby necessities. I have small aluminum canisters that hold about 10 ounces milk and use them to keep the milk cold for up […]
I recently joined the O’Reilly Blogger Review program and this is the first book I chose to review. The entire “Missing Manual” series is dedicated to providing a solid users manual for a given product. This one is dedicated for the iPad and it does a very good job at providing a broad overview of […]
It’s Friday and I’m on my way home. As I sit here on the train I feel like I’ve kicked my iPad into 2nd gear this week. Apple’s iBook app is great but the prices of the books at the store are a little high. I bought my first novel ebook from Amazon (epub) and […]
I’ve had my iPad now for a week and so far it’s been great. There are a couple things I don’t like but overall I’m both impressed and happy. Let me start out with the the things I don’t like. iPhone only apps: the little mini screen drives me a crazy and only a few […]
When I got home from work today I found my iPad sitting at my front door. I’ve started to mess around with it and I’m so glad that I bought it. I’ve got my base apps installed, the 3G activated, wi-fi to my home network on, Mobile Me configured, email account setup, and my Gelaskin […]
I’m anxiously awaiting my 3G iPad but something dawned on me, I haven’t seen one in the open. I ride a commuter train each day to and from Chicago and I would expect to see some city chic person with one. Plus I live in what would be considered an upscale neighborhood and would expect […]
After riding the rails for a good amount of time I broke down and decided to plunge into iPad land. I’m still not sold on the costs of the 3G contract and it bothers me that I would have to pay for both my iPhone and iPad. But then again I know how I am […]
Here I am riding the train and writing this on my iPhone. It works but it’s not very fast. But how much easier would it be on an iPad? I do believe that I would spend less time hitting the backspace button because the virtual keyboard is larger. I’m severely doubt that I would be […]
I’ve got a modern iMac running OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard). Beyond being a Mac geek at heart I have always felt that OS X makes it easy to do things so I can focus on the work and not the machine. I was so glad when Apple introduced Time Machine, a utility that runs […]
