Random thought process with iPad and Corkulous App

by marla on May 17, 2010

I have spent the better part of two weeks recuperating fromnthe major allergy attack from Chicago. It has actually been a great two weeks reading, praying and yes…playing with my iPad. My goal with the iPad is to lighten my travel load. I have already found that i leave all but one book at home, but can I leave my computer behind? To do that I need to be able to do two things: keep track of my digital/real world life and write.

Keeping track of real life just got a whole lot easier with an app called Corkulous. It is, indeed, a cork board. I have started cork boards for daily life as well as for various writing projects. Check out the screen shot below. I just love the random possibilities of the board! It sets my old Creative Memories scrap booking juices flowing.

Writing is still problematic, though the external keyboard should help with that. Somehow my “voice” changes on the iPad.

Oh well, just a random update from a formerly sidelined couch warrior! And yes…I think I may be able to survive this latest attack. If only my hearing would come back!

Now if only we had a 6-foot iPad mounted on the wall (in landscape orientation) at home…

Lol!! We could hang it where our hopelessly analog and archaic blackboard is! Perfect.

MARLA!! You absolutely, positively did NOT help me with my desire for an iPad…I want one SO bad. I’ve been trying to convince myself that I have zero “need” for it ;) which of course I don’t need it…however I want it…really bad…glad you are loving yours though ;)

I used to have a Corkboard application for Windows and loved it. THAT looks like fun! But I am not tempted by the iPad yet.

So was the allergy attack just a seasonal thing? Hope it was nothing too serious.

Oh I absolutely need one – bring it to coffee on wednesday I want to try it out! That one app could be a huge selling point for me!

It was a strange allergy attack brought on by every blooming thing in Chicago. Springtime up north always gets me. I hit three of them this year (Atlanta, Boston and Chicago). I have a nasty cold-like reaction every time. This time, the third, my ears just won’t unclog and two weeks later I am still deaf in one ear. It led to some really nice time to stop and think and reflect. My oldest daughter was away on a missions trip, so things were quiet here at home. Lovely surprise gift. But I’m ready to be done with it now. I’d love to hear in stereo again!
