Ex-Tabula Rasa

I shall try to define myself in a sentence with a pithy comment at the end:
I'm just an English bloke who lives in Canada after marrying a Canadian lady he met while living in Japan. Yeah, that old cliché.

So what now…?

Like a teenage boy staring at a poster of a supermodel, I’ve coveted the iPad for a while, knowing full well that there was absolutely no way I’d ever get my hands on one. And with no reduction in the validity of the analogy, now I have one I’ve no idea what to do with it.

Sure, I’ve downloaded Scrabble and Twitter and Facebook and the obligatory ‘throw the birds at the pigs’ game, but what now? What do I do now? Bearing in mind I have no other Apple products (barring a four-year-old iPod), what would you other iPad owners consider to be the essential things for me to get?

  5. coyotesqrl said: There must be some sort of CTV-sponsored streaming app like Netflix - CanFlix? - where you can watch earnest shows about the trials and tribulations of beavers, maple syrup harvesters, and hockey players. (Re: WWF…My name’s the same. Game on.)
  6. rartastic answered: fruit ninja. FRUIT NINJA. that is my favorite game. Also I don’t actually have an iPad.
  7. sandboxdiaries answered: I mostly use my iPad for books - Kindle is great. Mostly, I use it as a very expensive paperweight.
  8. anarchyandscotch said: Netflix and HBO GO are great entertainment apps, if you’re a subscriber. Spotify and Pandora will keep you from having to take up memory with music. Whole Foods and Epicurious are dynamite food apps. And Angry Birds, natch.
