Podcast: Reading Little Dorrit on the iPad; or, I read Dickens FIVE WAYS
NPR updated my answer to the question I asked last year: Do I love reading or do I love books? Here’s the Chronicle of Higher Education original article, and the one I just published on the iPad: Reading Dickens Four Ways (2009) My iPad Day (2010) Check out this Judy Jetson illustration that accompanied the […]
Earth to Earthlink: goodbye from your last customer
I registered my domain in 1998 and soon thereafter set up web hosting with Earthlink. Hey, it was 1998! My first website was created to keep friends and family informed about my son’s hospitalization; we didn’t call it a blog, but that’s actually what it was, complete with a guest book that I would read […]
Must you deconstruct everything?
I found this picture on the Guardian website and found it rather depressing. Yeah, I know, it’s just a machine. Am writing on an article on creativity and the iPad — please send me any great examples or apps you’ve discovered!

This is so beyond tweeting: how could 140 characters suffice to convey the genuine excitement??? Now, isn’t that pathetic? I’m like the monkey in 2001 waiting for […]
Seeking a co-pilot
Isn’t it pathetic?? Because I let too much time go by between postings, I never get fully comfortable with Word Press.? And then I let even more time go by.? Nothing worse than stale blog.? Worse than leftover salad. For instance,? one friend complained that I spent a lot of time writing about my son’s […]
Forget Bookmark
I should have known better than to get too excited too fast.? Bookmark takes all the fun out of the iPhone audiobook experience….well, not all of it, but a lot.? No longer can you be listening happily and also take a quick peek at email, or answer a phone call, or do anything at all.? […]
