The iPad 3 and my unrelenting sickness

Of course you all know that the iPad 3 new iPad was announced the other day and, as expected, I bought it. So, why am I writing about what seems to be some non-news item?  Well, it’s because of how I bought it. You see, I’ve given in.

I used to make excuses of why I didn’t need to buy that new, shiny gadget. How the current one I owned was up-to-snuff and that there was no reason for me to upgrade. Then, a few weeks later, after seeing other people walking around with a new gadget that I didn’t have, I’d buy it.  This time, I’ve just given in to my sickness.

So yes, next week I’ll have a shiny new iPad which, arguably, will be better than my current iPad. Ironically, I feel sort of liberated. I no longer have to make up explanations as to why I will be holding the new gadget that just last week I said I wasn’t going to buy. It’s kind of nice.

Oh, and I upgraded my Apple TV as well.

Excuse me. Can you take our picture?

You know how when you go out with friends and someone brings a camera, there’s always one person missing from the pictures?  Well, I was just at a marketing conference in Las Vegas and saw someone with this crazy cool device that allows you to take pictures without anyone missing from the shot!  It’s called the XShot and I bought mine on Amazon (link below) and it’s super cool.  To show you how cool, I’ve put together a little video that explains it.
