iPad

It’s been a year since I sold my kidneys for an iPad. It’s been fun. It has replaced every other device I own (ie, a couple of PCs and the nexus one). It’s an outright winner, when it comes to reading, especially long-form articles, and books alike. It has become my go-to machine for everyday news, twitter/facebook, and even for browsing my favorite photographers. It have however remained strictly in the realm of content consumption – until now.

This is a test post from blogsy, an iPad blogging tool. The interface design looks thoughtful – drag & drop of images from flickr and picasa, videos from YouTube, a built it google search and browser to get at other content. Although there is a bit of a learning curve, it makes the iPad a true content generation device. Maybe this will keep me blogging this time around. On that note, here’s a cutie pie to bring a smile to you, today.

I did it. I said I wouldn’t. I said I will hold out for purely ethical reasons, but it is very hard to resist the iPad. The first impression in-store is simply – awesome. This of course is not a surprise and is something that one can expect from apple these days. Warning: This is a long post .. Here are some thoughts, after a day of use: It’s fast.

I turned 30 yesterday. A whole day has passed since I left my 20s. They say it is a big day. They say it is a dreaded day. It was neither. Just busy (which is good). I chanced upon [Douglas Adams' post][1] from 1999: > 1. everything that’s already in the world when you’re born is just normal; > 2. anything that gets invented between then and before you turn thirty is incredibly exciting and creative and with any luck you can make a career out of it;
