Make it so, iSteve.

After playing with someone’s iPad, I don’t like the way the keyboard takes up so much room in landscape mode. Plus it’s hard to use when you’re standing. Short of using only one hand on it.

Then I ran across this concept image:

That’s EXACTLY the way I use the device.

Steven Paul Jobs, if you’re reading this, how about making this an available keyboard option?

30 Day Challenge, Day 26 — Your week, in great detail

My twenty-sixth entry in this “30 Day Challenge” is my week, in great detail.

This previous post is my typical Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Which is my work week.

Sunday and Monday are my “weekend”.

Since the Great Leak in February, my weekends have been filled with remodeling/construction. (See all the previous posts under the tag “Fables of the Home Reconstruction“.)

The Husbear and I usually go out to eat at some point on Sunday. And sometimes even grocery shopping!

Some Mondays I am able to break away from the remodeling to go “beveraging” with a friend or two. During which time many drunk tweets occur, like this one:

click to watch the horror, because you know you want to.

Until next time...

30 Day Challenge, Day 25 — Your day, in great detail

I’m falling behind on this “30 Day Challenge” thingy. Staying busy causes that for me.

This is my day. I should say typically. And a work day, which is Tuesday through Saturday for me.

  1. I groggily wake up a wee bit as the Husbear kisses me goodbye before he goes to work.
  2. I wake up when my body wakes me up, usually around 9:30 AM. No alarm clock anymore!
  3. I meander around the house and tidy up.
  4. I feed and water the kittehs.
  5. Sometimes I trim up my facial hair.
  6. I take a shower.
  7. I dry off.
  8. I get dressed.
  9. I gather my “gear” for the day.
  10. I get in the car.
  11. I go through Sonic and get a Route 44 Diet Coke with Cherry, Vanilla, and Easy Ice, a Route 44 Diet Dr. Pepper with Cherry, Vanilla, and Easy Ice (for the Husbear), and a Jr. Deluxe Burger. I do this often enough the staff at Sonic knows my name.
  12. I drive to my tattoo studio.
  13. I clean and mop the studio before we open.
  14. I tattoo, draw, answer the phone, and consult with clients throughout the day.
  15. I nibble on food all day long. I rarely eat “meals” anymore.
  16. I clean and close the tattoo studio.
  17. I drive home.
  18. I talk with the Husbear about the day and other happenings.
  19. I watch some TV on the computer, while doing other things on the computer such as bills, research, reading blogs, etc.
  20. I tuck the Husbear into bed around 10:30 PM.
  21. I clean the kittehs litter box.
  22. I watch some more TV on the computer, while still doing other things on the computer such as bills, research, reading blogs, etc.
  23. I sometimes play Words with Friends on my iPhone.
  24. I go to bed, sometime around 1:30 AM.
  25. I eventually fall asleep.

Until next time...
