Fun with the iPad

Apps! Office HD. iBooks. Twitterific. B&N Reader. BBC News. Games--Solitaire, Freecell, Checkers. NPR. Pandora. Epicurious. Planets. Observatory. Currently reading Salem's Lot, which came complete with eerie illos. Downloaded a bunch o' free books--Jane Austen, PG Wodehouse, Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Complete Works of Shakespeare.

Bought skins from Gelaskins. Over the long weekend, I want to try to get to the Apple Store and pick up screen protectors and maybe some other accessories. A dock. Birthday gift to myself.

I like it as an eReader/email/websurfing thing. The virtual keyboard is ok, but a little unwieldy. I have a bluetooth keyboard leftover from the late lamented iMac. Maybe that can be used. I bought Office HD as a word processing app. I will see how well it works.

It's a fun thing, like a combo netbook-ereader. Easier to tote around than a laptop.

What did FDR really do for America?

An interesting, involved article about the failure of supply side economics, the WPA, German labor unions, and other thing:

FDR was vilified in his day as a Socialist, a Communist and a traitor. He didn't back down from that fight, calling the large moneyed interests who fought against him what they were: economic royalists who sought greed over simple human decency. They hated the New Deal with a passion because there wan;t enough in it for them, and too much for the "little people."
