30 Days with the iPad:Prezi

2011-01-11

One thing I find myself doing a lot of is creating presentations. I managed to avoid PowerPoint for many years, but found in the past three or so that a slide deck really can be a powerful tool for getting ideas across to a crowd. I tend not to make decks that can stand alone, [...]

30 Days with the iPad:What time is it?

2011-01-01

Happy New Year to everyone, or at least, to those who didn’t use their iPhone or iPod touch as an alarm clock this morning. It seems that the clock bug from Daylight Savings Time has stuck again. This time, single occurrence alarms fail to go off as scheduled. For most of us, this may just [...]

30 Days with the iPad:Angry Birds

2010-12-30

Today’s post is going to be kind of lame, and for that I blame Rovio and their Angry Birds. If you don’t know what all the buzz is about the birds, let me first assure you that it has nothing to do with Twitter. The Angry Birds is one of the best video games I [...]

30 Days with the iPad: First Impressions

2010-12-27

So after a day and a half of iPad goodness, it’s time to share some first impressions. Remember, these are only first impressions, which means that I reserve the right to be left, err, make that wrong, about anything I put here. With that having been said… 1) This beast is heavier than I expected. [...]
