			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It doesn&#8217;t multitask (yawn), there&#8217;s no camera (yet) and it doesn&#8217;t render flash animation, but it fills a niche that most people seem to be overlooking. The iPad is for the bifocal set. It&#8217;s a big iPod Touch with big buttons and the ability to have big text. </p>
<p>It will have a camera at some point. It might even get blessed with a front facing and a rear facing camera at the same time. Apple might even surprise everyone and sneak a camera into the first model that is still 2 months away.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t need flash support. Lots of people don&#8217;t need flash support. The loss of the moving advertising and flashy websites won&#8217;t be mourned very loudly. I surf the web for information that helps me learn something or make money. I know that there are a bunch of neat games to play on the web that are flash based, but I don&#8217;t care. I don&#8217;t have time for it.</p>
<p>Pick up your iPhone and feel how thin and solid it is. Move some things around the screen and open an app or two. It&#8217;s a great little chunk of technology and the iPad is more of the same. When you pick one up in the Apple Store this summer, you&#8217;ll want one, even if it isn&#8217;t perfect.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>OK, it&#8217;s 2 November and I&#8217;m on track. 3501 words to be exact. I&#8217;ve already fit in a &#8216;vampire trap&#8217;, a discussion of drizzle, a serial killer and cadaver dogs. What in the world am I cooking up here?</p>
<p>In other news, my ebay exploits have been moderately successful over the last few days. I just need to keep up the effort to beat my initial sales goals. Hopefully, my nanowrimo writing will not take away from my blog entries where necessary (not here, elsewhere, like <a href="http://thecheapesthouse.com">the cheapest house</a>).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>OK kids, I&#8217;m going to fire up the typing skills again this year and actually finish <a href="http://www.nanowrimo.org">NaNoWriMo</a>. Look for daily updates and word totals in this space. I might actually even post a few photos, we&#8217;ll see. I&#8217;ve been busy trying to make a new web business since I&#8217;m out of the mosaic game. Boo Hoo. </p>
<p>One part of the new business plan is to get my adsense revenue to increase a bit. I&#8217;ve been running at $300 per month for the last 4 months and I&#8217;m going to put some more web sites into the mix and try to get to $400 per month by the end of December. Updates as necessary. Google sent out a strange email this morning about getting adsense to make more money for everyone. I think people will just become jaded or numb to adsense in the current form on websites that they frequent. My main thrust is going to be to make websites that get serendipitous traffic so that the viewers won&#8217;t be looking at just one part of the screen. </p>
<p>I know that when I go to macrumors.com or gizmodo.com, I don&#8217;t even see the ads. My brain is trained to look in the content area and ignore the parts where superfluous info and advertising exists. We&#8217;ll see how my efforts go.</p>
