I wrote an article a while ago called The iPad Works that discusses how the iPad is a great computer for getting work done. Since writing that, I’ve read several posts and articles from others about how they are getting work done with their iPads, most recently this post from Denny. This inspired me to write more about working on the iPad. I’ve been doing something new with my iPad recently and thought I’d share how that’s working.

Apple Watch as Travel Companion
I recently took a month-long trip to Europe. Before the trip, I wrote about my intention to leave my iPad behind (a first!) and travel only with my iPhone. However, I failed to mention another piece of technology I planned to take: my Apple Watch.

I have another site called Rob’s Tech Talk, where I provide news and how-to’s to help people get more out of their (mostly Apple) devices. Unfortunately, just like this site, I’ve been away from that site for quite some time and plan to change that.

I read an interesting article this week on Macworld titled The Mac is becoming more like iOS — and I think I like it by Jason Snell. If you’ve been following the world of Apple for any length of time, you’ve heard of Jason. He’s been writing about Apple and its products for decades.

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.
