I won an iPad!

I entered a contest over at the Chicago Tribune's Facebook page, and holy crap, I won. I never win contests.

I was planning on buying an iPad later this summer. Yup.

I'm just sitting here going "whoa." Taking yet another vacay day, which means I'm working from home. Except when I check my email and see that I won an iPad, at which time I run all over electronic hell-and-gone shouting that I won an iPad.

I'll shut up now.

Maybe I should buy a Lotto ticket tonight...

Yeah, the 'avoid feeding AT&T' thing resonates. However, I burned through the 250 MB data plan in a 3-day trip last month when my hotel didn't have WiFi in the rooms, and now am signed up for the about-to-be-extinct unlimited plan as I have travel scheduled through August. (I don't have a smart phone, so the iPad is my only means to non-WiFI Internet.) The 3G also lets me avoid the nannyware at the office if I want to read my web comics at lunch. That said, I think even the base 16 GB WiFi will be a great browser/reader/games machine, if that's what you end up with.
