Is the gap big enough?

Everybody is talking about "is the gap between the iPhone and a laptop big enough to warrant the iPad?"
But I think there's a big market which is over-looked: all those people, like for example me and several of my friends, who don't have an iPhone or other "smartphone" because a normal cell phone works fine for calling, and for all the fun stuff, the screen on the iPhone just feels way too small. So in our world there's a BIG whole for the iPad.

Maybe it's a generation gap, as in how good one's eyes are, I dunno.

Shield

Tim Robertson from MyMac.com reports that the back of the iPad is not invulnerable to scratches. This makes me happy that I've already ordered a Zagg Shield for mine. It's invisible plastic, but it's military grade, exceedingly strong.

Banner for art contest

It is very rare indeed that I make a banner for anything on Domai. But I've just made one to get attention to the Art Contest.

By the way, please do mention this contest to any artists you know or plug it on any suitable forums. Thank you!

Oglaf

Sean discovered this excellent sex/comedy comic: Oglaf.
Well drawn, and often funny.

Microstock: why would a reputable company do this to themselves?

Microstock: why would a reputable company do this to themselves?, article about the proliferation of non-exclusive-use images across the web. Apparently this bunch have many jobs.

Testing styles

OK, so it seems an email with an attachment never makes it through to Blogger. OK.

How about styles, then?

Update: It gest published in three seconds. Very impressive. The styles you see above worked. The word "styles" was two sizes bigger, that didn't work. Not important.

Sleepy insects

Tommy found this kewl page with rare photos of sleeping insects covered in morning dew.
"At 3am to 4am insects are sleepy and taking photos of them is easy, but it is very difficult to find them."

test 2

So, here is a test if I can imbed a link in a post sent from email.

Update: well, worked perfectly. Maybe this is finally the day when I start sending (and accepting) HTML emails.

Actually, my goal is to find the easiest way to blog from an iPad. I tried specialized blogging apps a couple years ago, but I was underwhelmed, and anyway I don't see them for iPhone/iPad.

(Quick note: I must say, Google Chrome browser really is damn fast. Most things happen in the blink of an eye.)

Gilt

Haha, there's an iPhone/iPad app called "Gilt". Its purpose is to help you shop better and faster...
Gilt is what you buy, Guilt is what you get...

Best iPad quote of the day...

From a CNBC reporter:
"The question is, is the gab big enough to make the iPad a game-changer, and it's a definite debate so far."

Trying Chrome

Sigh... OK, I'm going to try Google Chrome for real. I prefer Safari, but in the last week, it has given me so much grief. Crashes... Windows which can't be closed... Addresses at the top which really belong to other windows... and so on. And no amount of updating or rebooting has handled it.

I could have gone with Firefox. It's a good browser, but for some odd reason I never really felt at home there, I can't say why.
