I’ve got that software bug again. I’m not talking about a software defect that drives us all crazy. No, I’m talking about the strong desire to write software. I wrote recently about how I had decided to stop working on software and focus on writing. I did that and have enjoyed it, but almost every day I’ve still been thinking about software. About finishing the app I started last year. About new apps I could write. About new ways to solve problems I’ve come across. And on and on and on. What does it mean?
iPad Life: Writing
I’ve been using the iPad as my only computer for the past few months and it’s been great. I thought I’d share how I’m using it to do all my writing, which includes this blog, my Tech Talk blog, and a novel I’ve been working on. I’ll also talk a bit about the process I use to write.

Social media can be a great way to, well, be social. It allows you to connect, to stay in touch, and create a larger community. It can work well, especially when connecting with people you already know, such as family and friends that live far away. This is a wonderful innovation.
The iPad Life — So Far
I’ve been using the iPad as my only computer for the past three months and thought I’d give a quick update on how that’s going.
Too Much Tech Talk?
Looking down my home page, I see that my last three posts are just cross-posts to my other site (Rob’s Tech Talk). That doesn’t seem right to me. When I got back into writing a couple months ago, I intended to post here more than I have. That bothers me a bit.
