Professional tennis players Maria Sharapova and Vera Zvonareva have a lot in common with me: we are all of Russian decent, we are all very good looking, and, as you can see in the photo, we are all fans of soccer champions Monterrey.
Ever since I saw David Copperfield escape from Alcatraz I’ve been wanting to visit. About three weeks ago this became a reality. And I escaped and lived to post photos about it. It just took me a while to upload them.
I was looking for a while for a good travel bag to use with my iPad. I wanted something with the following characteristics:
Fits the iPad while inside the Apple case, the charger and cable, and just a bit of extra room for things like tickets and passport. But not much else. Small as possible.
It has a little front pocket, and inside there is a business card holder, a pen holder, and another small pocket.
To be honest, the build quality of the bag could be better, but for $20 I’m not going to complain much. Recommended. But if you want something nice, this Targus bag (which is not out yet) is more expensive but looks good.
Front pocket. The velcro does not inspire much confidence. I wish the front pocket was a little roomier and had a zipper.Credit card holder, a small pocket, and a pen holder. You can also stuff a magazine inside the case, with your iPad. But only barely.
I am particularly glad to no longer be asked when the Beatles are coming to iTunes
… quoted in today’s press release in which Apple announces the availability of The Beatles on iTunes. At least they only asked him the same thing for seven years. Trust me, it could be worse.

I took this photo outside of the north Whole Foods Market with my iPhone camera, no post processing. I didn’t even know there were so many kinds of pumpkins!
