Shelf Unbound, the literary magazine I am the kid contributor for, is printing releasing their digital magazine TODAY!
The cool thing about the iPad is that a lot of magazines are now on the iPad. So, instead of going to the bookstore and buying a copy (gas, time, wasting paper) you can download an issue RIGHT NOW and ta-da!~ presto: you can start reading. I really want to read about the creepy doll in the photo above. Really.
Yeah, I’m not really into skateboarding, but the photos are neat. I do like the ice cream photo and story (it it [ ... ]

So, this guy Jeff said 50 million iPads will sell a year.
Yeah, 50 million sounds like Jeff Matthews (a guy at RAM partners) thinks Apple is trying to make everything seem amazing.
I mean, 50 million is really a lot. Too much.
But, then I looked at how many iPads are selling and thought about it.
Apple sold 1 million units really fast when it came out. Then it hit the 3 million sales just as fast.
right this minute 4 million iPads have sold.
Apple thinks 12 million are gonna sell by the end of this year (hello Christmas [ ... ]

Yeah- this is made with a camera (Olympus Pen, 1959). And while a camera feature is not an option on the iPad (yet) what we like the most is the essence of creativity in this video. Imagination is alive and well.
Watch this video of 9,000 photographs and how they show a life pass by in time.
Wondering what we will see soon from creative minds with the iPad. Are you gonna make something? Create.
Every day the technology may change but down deep inside we just stay the same.

Dragon Dictation is an app for FREE you can get and instead of typing it records your message and TYPES it for you.
They said it is 5x faster than typing.
And safer than texting while driving (if ur a teen or college iPad Kid who has a driver’s license) so be a Dragon and save ur life.
Did we mention FREE?
With Dragon Dictation you can also dictate status updates directly to your Social Networking applications (Facebook and Twitter) or send notes and reminders to yourself….all using your voice. So when you’re on-the-go, stop typing [ ... ]

The other day I finally got to see Julia and Nico again lol. I hadn’t seen Julia for a few weeks and I hadn’t seen Nico since I got my iPad.
It was great because we iPad Kids do most of our work and communication stuff over the internet (because we’re super-cool-tech-savvy people like that) so we don’t get to actually see each other that often. It just goes to show that no matter how awesome the iPad and other techy things are, you can never really replace good old humans haha.
So we got to just sit and talk [ ... ]

When I read about this dude who makes serious art on his ipad i thought, Why? I mean, he studied for years to be an artists and now his work is so one dimentional. But, like all graphic art- it is one dimentional. His is just done by finger and not a mouse, right?
Here is excerpt from the article in Daily Mail: David Hockney, one of Britain’s most influential artists, has taken to creating artworks with the new Apple iPad (left) and the iPhone (right)

Fingertip input is great for most touchscreen usage like typing, web-browsing – all sorts of virtual button-pushing tasks. But for many people, drawing remains an activity best approached with a pen, pencil, brush, etc.
With a bit of conductive foam and wire, it’s surprisingly easy to make your own conductive stylus, suitable for use with iPhone, iPad and similar conductive touchscreen devices – and you’ll likely find it a lot more precise compared to regular fingertip input.

Keeping an eye on the future but our hearts have not forgotten the past and how it made all the fun we are having playing video games on the iPad possible.
