Something Changed: The magic of Instapaper. →
somethingchanged:
Since I started using it properly six weeks ago, instead playing with it in a desultory way, Instapaper has changed my life - or at least how I spend my time when I’m on public transport. It lets you save articles of any length, stripped of annoying formatting, for reading later - even when you…

There’s another interpretation of information sharing on the web that I wanted to stress.
Although the destiny of some of our information is just to dissolve on the web and lose their original belonging, there’s another trend that has been spreading more and more, showing the possible,…
I've been playing with my dads's iPad
dommm:
When I first started using it, I wasn’t impressed, it was exactly what I always thought; a giant iPhone. The more and more I use it, the more I like it. When all I want to do is browse the web, it’s perfect. I still can’t justify spending $500 on it, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want one now.
Download some drawing or sound /musical instrument apps. Beautiful interface when the screen...
