iPad

I've just read back through this blog and on 28th May last year I blogged about the newly released iPad - I was definitely a fan however wasn't sure i'd want one. I was pleased to read that I said I wouldn't bother with iPad 1 and instead would wait to see what iPad 2 would bring. Sure enough I'm sat here just under a year later and I'm typing this on a new iPad 2! I was lucky to get some money back from a bank after claiming back PPI which I was sold with a loan I took out a few years ago, and I decided that instead of being sensible with it all I would spend some of it on myself and Katie. The timing coincided nicely with the release of iPad 2 and after reading a lot of info about it I decided to take the plunge. Back in May I was unsure as to where the iPad would fit into my life in-between my iPhone, iMac and Sony laptop which are all knocking around the house. I can now say that I love it and I'm now not sure I could do without it. I'm finding that i'm not using the laptop and iMac as much and instead of sitting away from Katie while she tortures herself watching Glee, Greys Anatomy, X-Factor I can sit next to her on the sofa and do pretty much the same on the iPad! As ever the lack of Flash is a bit of a pain however there definitely seems to be a shift happening away from Flash towards other mediums! I'm definitely an iPad convert and would recommend it to anyone.

I'm becoming a grown up......

....ish! After getting married, becoming a father and more recently buying a new family car it's looking like I'm likely to complete the set and become a homeowner! It's easily stages yet but so far all the signs look good, the house will require lots of work in and out but strangely enough that excites me! I've been dying to find a hobby to get my teeth into - and this house could just be it! Fingers crossed!

Forgetful

Well, it looks like my last blogging session was once again a few months ago! Ah well! I'm definitely one of those people who will have a great idea pop into my head, whether it's a line for a new song, or something to write on here and then within five mins it's gone - I really should carry a notebook or my iPad round with me but I don't unfortunately!
