If you didn’t know, I recently bought an iPad for myself. Yeah yeah, act surprised. I love it and I knew I would. In fact, I’m authoring this post on it using the WordPress iPad app. <\/p>\n

Previously, I would work with a laptop and an attached LCD monitor on my desk. I always had the monitor rotated into a portrait, or a vertical, orientation. I loved viewing the entire length of documents, I loved how web pages looked. It just seemed to look better to me.<\/p>\n
