After all the hoopla about the Apple iPad, here is my two cents worth. It is very nice. It is easier to see what you are typing with a bigger screen and keyboard. My website looks very nice on it. Text from DJCline.com
I think the next version should have at least one camera and two speakers. I would love it to either fold in half like a business size envelope or be small enough to fit in a suit pocket.
Twitter will be running ads in its feed. It sounds like a wonderful opportunity for someone to develop an ad blocker.

This is part of a series about the first decade of the twenty-first century, also known as the Zero Decade or zerodec. Text from DJCline.com.
Music
I started out the decade listening to a 100 compact disk player that functioned like a jukebox from the 1950s. My house looked like a record store with all the price tags removed. I began downloading my CDs onto a Mac and uploading them to one of the first iPods ever made. I no longer traveled with a suitcase full of CDs or looked for radio stations as I drove. I seldom touched the device because I liked every song on it. The shuffle feature broke down the barriers between different kinds of music like rock, soul or country. I learned a good song defies categories.
People stopped buying CDs. Tower Records and scores of other traditional music stores closed. The music business has turned upside down. Ten years ago the money in music for artists was selling recordings, now it is in touring and performing live.
People ask why I don’t review music on my site. Music criticism is so subjective that I don’t know where to begin. If you like it, buy it.

I’m always looking for electric vehicles. In Palo Alto I saw what I think is an adult tricycle that may partially run on batteries. It has a windshield and recumbent seating. I think it would offer more stability and visibility but still have a smaller carbon footprint. I could not find the owner so I don’t have anymore information about it. I’m tempted to name it the Electrike ™. Text from DJCline.com
