| iPads and 30 Day Notices

In my first week of using my shiny new(used) iPad 2 I have determined that this device is in essence what man has been striving for since the dawn of time. It can't do everything , but what it can do is frankly amazing, and I don't even have the new-fangled Retina display, neither. Well, let me rephrase that, the iPad is what every ancestor of mine has been striving for in order to deliver it into my hands for my very specific use case, since the dawn of time. Lets go down the list so far:

- Netflix
- NHL Game Center, which lets me watch live out of market NHL games
- Craiglist and Redfin real estate app (oh yeah, did I mention that my landlord has decided to move back into our place and kick us out?)
- Logmein, so I can remote desktop to my PC and email my self stuff if it's not already on Dropbox!
- Kindle, Reamde here I come (slowly)!
- iBooks for reading PDF's of textbooks/reference books
- Games! (Loot and Scoot, Delve the Dice Game, FSRpg, Rune Raiders, Draw Something, Neuroshima Hex, Elder Sign, and still unplayed sits Titan and Ghost Stories.) These are really, really great games mostly for free or $.99 - remarkable!

Through the power of magic, coincidence, connections, and chance, we MIGHT have a place to move in the same complex, will advise.... good times.
