In the course of a day I launch two browsers over and over again. I used to launch three, but I've killed Safari, for now. So I am fluidly moving between Google's Chrome and Firefox all the time. What I like better about one of them I don't like something else about the other. I can cache my WordPress site with Google Gears on Firefox but I can't on Google Chrome (figure that one out for me) and I am starting to get frustrated with the limits of each one.

Getting Down to Business with the Apple iPad
A few amazing observations on the iPad and a few challenges. What do you see when you stare into the black screen of an iPad? The reflecting pool.
The Next Interruptive Innovation from Apple's iPad Has Yet to Be Invented, But We're Working On It
I think education is ready for an overhaul. The textbook is long dead and the internet is full of odd and unreliable pitfalls. While wikipedia has a lot of good information, the potential for misinformation is also large. So the classroom of the future will be handing out iPads at the beginning of class. As the science teacher begins to explain some chemical theory, the molecular example will appear on the students desktop iPads. As the instructor goes over the various bondings, the student can follow along and explore building different molecules.

It is not the machine but what you do with it. With the iPad we are at the opening bell. The devices have survived their first 24 hours in our collective hands. A moment last night when the kids were rough housing I caught myself saying, "Kids the kindle is a toy yes, but it's a very expensive toy, so I'd prefer if you not wrestle with it between you." And again at the end of a party as we were heading home, my daughter had discovered the drawing program and was walking along the sidewalk with the iPad glow lighting her face. "Be careful honey," I said, thinking of the drop rather than the possible skinned knee.
"It's Today, It's Today, It's Today!" Apple iPad's Around the US Are Ready for UnBoxing
This morning, 7AM, my son quietly got on top of me and suggested we leave the beach in the dark so we would be closer to the Apple store when everyone woke up. As we discussed his plan I told him about my dream of being in line for the iPad and never actually getting it. His dream, he said, involved a triacorn (three-horned unicorn) and a singing iPad. So we're leaving Port Aransas at 7:20 for the long haul back to Austin and "our" iPad.
