Comment on My Top 10 Android Tablet Apps by Darren Bowling

Yeah, I tried Flipboard on the iPad. It was a cool app, just didn’t really use it that much. It was content-overload. You had to “flip” through everything in order to see what was up. I prefer scanning, and reading stuff that catches my eye with a headline. To some extent, Feedly is a little better for my style.

“These are not the Droids you are looking for.”. Heh, heh

Seriously though, you may like Flipboard, if it comes in an Android flavor.

Comment on Acer Iconia A200 Review (and compared to iPad) by Darren Bowling

I have… It’s pretty cool but doesn’t download the whole feed, so fairly useless for offline reading. It’s great for online reading though. It’s really hard to find good apps that cache articles though.

Sorry Darren. This is a fascinating story and wonderful of you to have the thought to write this down – he must have passed on the genes for curiosity and learning

Thanks Pat for your kind words. He was an interesting guy. He had a work ethic from another era. I wish I’d spent more time taking notes about his life. He had a good run though, and seemed comfortable.

Darren,
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your Grandfather.
That was a great eulogy. Your grandfather was a remarkable man. Thankfully he had offspring like you. I always enjoyed talking about economics with you. You got me to subscribe to The Economist. Now my son is a fan too. Thanks to you and your Grandpa for spreading knowledge and stimulating thought.
