Typing On An iPad
I love my iPad. It’s one of the most portable and versatile devices I have ever known. It can seamlessly switch from being a web browsing device to a full screen video game without much effort. I’m able to check my mail on it as well as read a good book.
Due to its size and portability I also try to get work done on it as well. The type of work I do nowadays makes great use of a keyboard to type either code or words. The iPad has a pretty darn good onscreen keyboard however I’m not sure what’s the best way to use it.
Typically when I want to type on the iPad I hold it horizontally and tap the letters with my thumbs. Each letter I hit one at time until the word I want to write appears on the screen.
Compared to my laptop this is horribly inefficient. On my laptop I have all ten fingers going, moving to hit keys and make words fly on the screen.
I can’t do that on my iPad. Am I even supposed to do that on my iPad?

Today iOS 4.2 was officially released
Today iOS 4.2 was officially released. This brings the iPod Touch, iPhone, and iPad all up to date with the latest version of iOS. This is particularly exciting news for me with my iPad. The biggest change I’m welcoming with this update is multi-tasking on my iPad. Before this update it was cumbersome and difficult to switch between apps. It required exiting the current app, going to the home screen, and then opening the new app. With iOS 4.2 I can be in one app, double click the home button, see a list of previously opened apps, click on the app and switch directly to its window. If you haven’t upgraded your iDevice yet I heartily suggest you do so now.

iPad Doodle 2
I drew this doodle around the same time as my first doodle. Figured it couldn’t hurt to share. For clarity’s sake, that’s a mirror on the table.
iPad Doodle 1
Recently I’ve been playing around with the drawing apps on my iPad more frequently. I’ve come up with some doodles that I like, and some that I don’t. The one’s that I like are simple, but retain a degree of poignance that I feel can be shared.
Here’s one I drew over the weekend. Let me know what you think.
iPad and Me
On Saturday I woke up before the birds began singing to wait in line at my local Apple store for the launch of the new iPad. I was there for two reasons. The first was to buy an iPad – which I did and now own. A full review will be posted as soon as possible but for now let me say this: this device is great fun. And before you make up your mind about whether you like it or not let me offer one piece of advice: go to your local Apple store and play with it for five minutes. That’s truly the only way to get an accurate idea of whether this device is for you.
The second reason why I was at the Apple store was to film a promotional video for the Niente Peaches comedy group’s upcoming film Charlie Christ: The Gospel According to Fools. I have recently joined this ensemble as Director of Marketing. We’re in the last round of filming and the film should be complete sooner rather than later.
At the Apple store this past Saturday we got a lot of footage and last night my friend Ernie finished compiling the video. It’s now on YouTube and I’ve posted it below for easy viewing.
After you finish watching the entire thing I’d like you to remember this note: The last scene was acting. I was told to perform and there you see my Oscar-worthy performance.
