My wife, a tremendously understanding and wonderful woman, has pre-authorized me to purchase an iPad when they become available but the question I have is this: do I really need another web browsing device? I’ve already got a desktop PC, a laptop, a netbook, an eBook reader and an iPod Touch; which I am using to write this very article. I’ve got all the bases covered, though with an admittedly heavy collection of devices; none of which has 3G connectivity. I will admit that Apple can put serious design licks on a device that quickly becomes indispensable; I suppose we’ll see how quickly the iPad is adopted. I do have to admit that I’m putting off the purchase of a Nook for the time being.

Not Windows 7, as much as I now think I should have downloaded the beta, but Windows Live Writer. It’s very strange to me to realize that I actually like Live Writer more than using the dashboard interface of my personal weblog. You might notice that my posting frequency has increased in the last week or so. This has to do with my decision not to remove Live Writer from my Netbook Rebuild. Thanks to the folks over at Lifehacker I decided to give the app a chance and I’m amazingly happy with it.
I simply started the app, gave it the URL of my blog, supplied my credentials for login and Live Writer interrogated my site, figured out exactly how to interface with it and gives me an interface I like more for posting. I think the biggest reason I like it is that I can use Live Writer while offline (in those rare instances that I have my Netbook with me but no internet connection) to compose entries, then publish them when back online. I also don’t worry as much about losing data should the browser window crash or the server suddenly become unavailable. Lots of people "live in the browser" these days and Firefox goes a long way toward keeping my work safe but it’s not 100%.
