The iPad tablet computer was announced today by Apple. Basically, it’s a version of the iPod Touch with a screen the size of a standard piece of paper. The detractors already discount such a device, sayin it’s just another toy frim Apple. But as a person laying in the bed typing this entry out on an iPod Touch, I think they may not yet see the true value of the concept.
Personally, I’m excited to see what might happen with digital comics on such a device. There is already a couple apps for doing comics iTunes Store style on the iPod and they would only look better on a larger screen. I’m not sure what happened with the Longbox application that was mentioned months ago at Heroes, but there I’m sure someone will jump on this opportunity.
The snow is melted and it may be back in the 60’s before the week is out! Still, the past week has been pretty damn cold. Here are a couple pictures of the snow.
Twitter and Facebook has trashed my ability to post to my own site recently, bleh.
This year has had some good moments but it’s also been a bit of a tester. The good news is that we made it to the other in if this year in one piece and the promise of the new year is ahead of us. Tomorrow I will post some New Year’s resolutions, but for now I shall drink champagne.
Happy New Year all!
Last bit of funny for 2009! Happy New Year and I’m off to drink!
Be safe so we can see you in 2010!
Santa Claus is normally immune to drama llamas, since he is a quasi-mythical being himself. But since he was in such close proximity, he was helpless!
