    As college buddy and old friend Rob Spidle said yesterday, “I seriously love the little iFucker.” Lot to love about the iPad. Only had it a few days, but it’s hard not to see how natural it feels in the hand.

    A Day In The Life Of A Freelance Writer

    You want to know what a writer’s day looks like? You want to see the Sisyphean journey of boulder-pushing from its fumbling start to its clumsy finish? Boom. Done. Gotcher back.
