A second try for iPad

Lessons Learned

– I was wrong about TV, I thought it would throw away the few family time, but it gave us more things to talk about. Plus, it gave me a bit more time for myself.

– My second try on iPad went well so far. Don’t treat it as a computer, treat it as a messy notebook. It’s not a device for organization.
