It sure is pretty…
Yes, it is… but let’s see what it can do. Probably about halfway through now, but I was hoping for more macbook and less iphone. We’ll see.
…but, that’s all I’m seeing. It’s pretty. It’s sexy. It would be fun toy to play with but I have a laptop and I have a smartphone (now I really will need to decide between a Droid and google Nexus One) so where does this fit in?
It’s not a phone but it needs a data plan. That means, a second data plan. Not cool at all. I’m not buying e-books for $14.99 when I prefer reading a real book any day. {Side note: Granted, it does make moving more difficult – Dave and I have a huge book collection – but I love browsing through used book stores and smelling and feeling the pages of a book. } I can listen to itunes on my ipod or on my macbook pro. I can watch movies on my laptop and soon on my Wii (so, on TV) with Netflix. Spreadsheets? Who cares. And, I really don’t have time for games nor do I want to pay for them.
So, I’ll stick with my macbook pro that I love. I’ll upgrade it. And, eventually, I’ll switch from my Blackberry to one of the above mentioned phones. Sexy isn’t enough.
Oh, and one last thought. Seriously, ‘iPad’? Were there no women in on those meetings?

Font Love
Maybe I should turn this into my Friday feature. But for now, it’s Wednesday, and here’s a new font to drool over. This seems like such a perfect, casual, handwriting font.

Moving Forward
as if the river shores were opening out.
It seems that things are more like me now,
That I can see farther into paintings.
I feel closer to what language can’t reach.
With my senses, as with birds, I climb
into the windy heaven, out of the oak,
in the ponds broken off from the sky
my falling sinks, as if standing on fishes.

What the future holds
This. In my room when I have one of my own again. Well, not exactly this. Similar to this but with a quote that I choose or create – and Dave will do the artwork (I’ll be art director on the project). Ha. And then, we’ll have it printed in vinyl. Can’t wait to have a spot for something like this! Once we’re somewhere at least a little more permanent.

Be
Flowing everywhere
Without striving,
Benefiting all
Without contention.
Live in touch with the earth,
Meditate deeply in the heart.
Be generous in relationships,
Truthful in speech,
Consistent in leadership,
Competent in work,
And timely in actions.
The path of peace
Is forever honorable.”
-excerpt from the Tao Te Ching

Unravelling the Year Ahead
Susannah (ink on my fingers) has a great post today about planning the year ahead and getting from planning to doing and completing. In addition, she posted this awesome (and pretty) worksheet.
Thanks, Susannah!
I’m in! Anyone else?
