Ordinary Day

I'm a historically-PC guy who loves our family iPad, and is thinking I might get an Android smart phone next so that I can check out a different approach from how iOS does things. I like having a job where I can learn a lot about open-source development after working for so long writing about Microsoft products.

I like that recent computers don't seem like computers as temperamental geek-centered devices and just do stuff that I want them to do without all the annoying overhead, whether it's the iPad or TiVo or smart phones. Or the Kindle. I haven't used it much but I really like the latest-generation Kindle that Kathryn has. It just works.

Every one of these devices has slight annoyances and I'm not really a fan of any of the corporate organizations that produce them, but those annoyances are a lot smaller than they could be.
