Listen to the Carlos Whittaker EP

I’ve helped Los with his blog a few times and, all in all, he’s a stand up guy. Not just some worship leader who stays on the stage and in the comfort zone but a guy who goes to Uganda to tell the world about its plight and drops everything and moves because God told him to (find out more over at his blog).

Give his EP a listen and prep yourself to pick up his full album in April. If you’ve never visited his blog, Ragamuffin Soul, be sure and do so. You can also follow @loswhit on Twitter.

My take on the Apple iPad

apple ipad In list format no less:

  • iPad? Seriously? When someone from Boston says iPad how will I know they’re not saying iPod?
  • Do Apple fanboys really want to carry around three devices? I’m weighed down enough by my phone and laptop, why would anyone want to carry around an “in-between” device that’s too big to be a phone but not big enough to be a full-on computer?
  • What niche does the iPad fill, other than the “look, we wear money hats!” niche for Apple?
  • Hey Apple, laptops already have keyboards! Why make a keyboard attachment for the iPad?
  • Wow, only $30/month for unlimited data? Great, let me add that to the $30/month I already spend on my phone’s data plan and my $50/month Internet bill.
  • No, seriously… iPad?

Am I the only one not drinking the Kool-Aid here?
