I’ve been taking a huge break from blogging and my Internet presence to work on my law practice and do some of the crucial leg work necessary for MILOfest 2010. Thankfully, most of that is out of the way and I can get back to blogging.
iPad 3G Comments
I am the proud owner of an iPad 3G 64GB, which mostly means that I sat around stewing for a month or so while my friends all got to play with their shiny, new toys. I am happy I waited, though. I’ve found the 3G connectivity to be incredibly convenient. I don’t own a Verizon Mi-Fi or any other mobile hotspot solution, so the 3G made some sense out of the gate. Even so, I think the instant on, instantly-connected feel of the iPad makes it a wonderfully flexible tool, in and out of the business.
Much has been said about the various features of the iPad – from the surprisingly long battery life to the snappy feel – but I think the most satisfying observation has been how much of a “blank slate” device this is. The iPad is absolutely whatever I need whenever I need it. I can go (and have gone) from taking handwritten notes (thank you, Pogo Stylus) to playing Scrabble to checking a presentation to watching a movie to….well, you get the idea. If you are still on the fence about an iPad, hop off. This device is an incredible addition to your arsenal of useful business and personal gadgets.
I have my first business trip where I can test it out next week. It’s just a quick overnight and there’s absolutely no reason to bring my laptop. I think it will fair just fine there. However, the true test will be the week after, when I leave for 3 days – where I will be expected to continue to run my practice from 2000 miles away. I’m leaning towards chancing it just with my iPad. I’ll report back my success…or failure.
MILOfest 2010
We’re almost ready to open the doors and begin accepting registration. I have a special gift to last year’s attendees. The contract has been signed, so I can confirm that this year’s dates are November 11-13, 2010. Block out the time now so there’s no chance that you miss it. I’ll be releasing more details shortly here, on the MILOfest webpage, and on MILOfest’s new Facebook page - http://is.gd/cslz5
Keep checking those spots, as well as the hashtag #MILOfest on Twitter for details and announcements.
Sex and the City 2 (SATC 2)
By all reports, SATC 2 is a movie that is dizzyingly bad. I haven’t read a review yet that concludes that it’s worthy investment of 146 minutes of your life. The blogosphere is ripe with postings of reviews that have ripped the movie to shreds. Why post about it here? I just want you to know that the main character, famous for writing on her Powerbook during the TV series, has sold out and moved to an HP.
I can’t prove that the movie sucking and new PC computer is anything more than coincidence, but I can’t prove that they’re unrelated either.
