Something odd happened the other day. Be it the beginning stages of already reaching ‘a certain age’, or just being a bit weird; the jury’s out.

Turning Your iPad Into An Ultrabook
How to work even more mobile The other day, I purchased something that will, I think, greatly help me work on the move for the times I don’t need/want to take my laptop with me. The Anker ultra slim iPad keyboard. The inspiration came from me seeing lots of reports about the Logitech counterpart, but…
