Planes, Trains, and Automobiles: April 2010 Archives

Lately I've been feeling like I'm the wallflower at the prom, the third wheel, the guy still standing bereft of a chair when the music stops. And it's all because I don't have an iPad.

Everywhere I go on the Intratubes, magazines, newspapers, and TV, all the peoples are talking about their iPads, and how great their iPads are, and how awesome it is to read books on their iPads, and watch their favorite TV shows, and listen to their music and on and on till I want to scream. Not because I hate the iPad, au contraire, I'm jealous because I don't have mine. See, I held out for the 3G version and now I have to listen to everyone that got the WiFi version go on about their iPads. Oh, but just you wait. Soon, so very, very soon, I'm gonna write reams and reams about the 3G iPad and how cool it is to spend many an hour whiling away my time surfing the web with something that isn't the size of a deck of cards. Well, that could describe my desktop computer. Or my laptop for that matter.  But the iPad will be completely different from those old dinosaurs.

Really.
