I hereby interrupt this scheduled logout to tell you about the gorgeous simple minimal leather cases for iPad/iPhone/MacBook Air/etc. that my friend Darrin is making. They are called “Tuch” and they are amazing.
I’ve been using both the Tuch for iPad and Tuch for iPhone for a while and I absolutely love them and highly recommend you go check them out. Especially you iPad owners—trust me, your iPad wants to be carried around in a case this nice. ;)
iPad + Velcro (by Jesse Rosten)
I may just do this. I can attest to the awesomeness of velcro… I’ve had 16 photos hanging in my living room for a couple years now, all held up with velcro, and nary a one has ever come loose. I just don’t know if I can stomach putting that sticky velcro on that perfectly chiseled aluminum back.
I am in possession of The Coolest—by far—iPad sleeve/case that I have seen, possibly in existence. Can’t wait to show it. Gotta take some sweet pics soon.
The BEST Article I’ve Read On the iPad. This guy gets it. This article describes precisely why I’m so excited about this device, and not at all bothered by it’s few shortcomings.
Because it’s really not about the device, it’s about the massive paradigm shift that needs to happen in the miry world of computers. Honestly, I hate computers. And yes, that is profoundly ironic considering that I make my living looking at them all day long. But it’s true. I like making things with computers. I like the Internet and the incredibleness of it all. But although I know more than most people I know, about the mechanics of computers, I really truly dislike those very mechanics.
I can’t wait to get an iPad so I can never use a computer for non-“work” related things again. Internet, communication, media, entertainment, personal info and “handiness”—all of these things that we use “work machines” for now, will feel so much less “computery” on a device that you hold and touch and pass around. And if that is the future, at least as it relates to computers, and I sincerely hope it is, then I can’t wait.
A great article by Stephen Frank of Panic. (Long, but thorough. And it comes from someone with a very long, successful history in the world of Apple computers.)
