WiFi iPad - One Month In
I posted my initial impressions about the iPad a while back so I thought I’d take a minute to update my thoughts now that I’ve had it for exactly a month.
It’s safe to say that it’s my main Email/Twitter/News reader. Honestly, it’s my preferred method of reading just about anything. Yes, I would love to have a higher resolution screen (after reading several full...

NetNewsWire for iPad Impressions
I bought NetNewsWire for iPad on launch weekend and I’ve been pretty satisfied with my purchase. I saw there are quite a few negative reviews and I can see how the software isn’t for everyone (yet) - so here is my take on NNW at this point:

365 iPhone Photo Project Kicked Off
Today (March 14th, 2010), I’m kicking off my 365 iPhone Photo Project. Lots of people have done this before (watching Patrick’s project finally inspired me to give it a go), so it’s nothing new to the interwebs, but it’s something new for me. I’m going to follow a few self-imposed guidelines for my project:
