A Private Shade

I’m always on the look out for new applications. Recently I came across two great applications ones for security and the other one is for quickly cleaning off your desktop with creating a “shade” effect.

To iPad or Not to iPad That is the Question.

So I’ve been thinking of getting an iPad since they first came out, but I hesitated, because I didn’t know what I would really use it for other than to play games, read, email, and keeping track of social media. I had an iPod touch at the time and thinking what I could do on it was enough than having to buy a bigger version. I need a mobile device that allows me do everything I can do on my desktop which is why I’ve thought about just going with a newer laptop instead. Whats growing more important for me is to have a digital sketch pad along with a place to code while on the go.

So the question is go with an iPad for entertainment, sketching, email while on the go or just get a MacBook air/pro for on the go mobile office.
