Been using it in my living room and bedroom and at the library. So much easier to read my news stories on it compared to my iPhone (which I still love but it's having to take a backseat right now). I'm sure it will recover from the neglect. I've discovered some new design and tech related resources too. You'll see them popping up in my blog, on my Twitter feed, or on the About.com Desktop Publishing Facebook page from time to time. And speaking of Facebook. As some Facebook fans have noticed, YOU can post messages on my Wall (I guess that makes it our Wall). Feel free to ask questions, share interesting links (with at least some kind of desktop publishing connection), or talk about your latest project. No spam please. iPad: iDo or iDon't? - iDid On Saturday I wrote, "Been thinking about getting an iPad. I'm still on the fence but leaning heavily toward that Apple tree."

And still love to hear about how you're using your iPad -- for work, for pleasure, for whatever.

Does the idea of being in complete control of the writing, editing, and design of your own book appeal to you? I've certainly thought about it more than once.

Perhaps Baskerville or Garamond or Stone Serif. Are You a Font Fanatic? If you could immediately identify by sight every font in those lists of classics then you probably qualify as a font fanatic. Or a font genius. I stumbled across this quiz from my site that I'd totally forgotten about. Take the Font Fanatic Personality Quiz.
