Check It. DODOcase.

Having ordered an iPad 2 online just a few weeks ago, I'm about to make my first foray into the tablet world. And that also meant getting just the right case.

I'll be carrying around my iPad quite a bit, but will be using it mostly for recreational purposes -- watching films and browsing the internet and such. So I didn't want something that was too clunky, while also making sure it would stay protected. I was originally enticed by Apple's own smart cover, but I knew I wanted something a bit more unique.

So after doing some research, I'm going with the DODOcase. Designed to look similar to the classic Moleskine, with its leather bound case and banded clasp, I figure this cover is the perfect aesthetic compromise for the booklover in me. Plus, it's got a great bamboo tray and they're all handmade locally in San Francisco. And even with all that, the price is still at the same rate as most other iPad covers, at $59.95. Getting tech-saavy and looking good while at it -- I'm moving up in this world!

Do It. Sign Steve Jobs' get well card.

Technology and culture in the world today have a lot to thank Steve Jobs for. If you're reading this blog on an iPhone, iPad or Mac, or you've been listening to tunes on your iPod or iTunes all day, you really have a lot to thank him for. And even if you don't own any Apple product, the influence Jobs has had on the world of fast-moving, innovative technology is undeniable.

So sign the guy's get well card, yeah? It's his birthday tomorrow. He probably makes more money than you could ever think of, but everyone needs a little compassion every once in a while, and rumor has it, Jobs' health isn't helping him out so much. Sign here!
