A collection of my thoughts and info of the world around me. This usually includes (but of course not limited to) technology, photography. music, sports, pets, fitness, food, and wine. Sorry thats a long list, pretty much anything thats on my mind! I am also in the process of trying to live a healthier lifestyle. Throughout this journey I will be going through some trials and tribulations and I will share them here with you. Oh and by the way, I love to cook! var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?

The article was nothing special, since I would guess anybody who wants to use a keyboard with an iPad would go with the bluetooth keyboard. So, as I was reading the comments, I came across a comment posed by creativlogic, and he said to go to Jo-Ann’s (Fabric/ Arts and crafts store) and buy an adjustable display easel style for just under $3.00. (They have them at Amazon also, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002H2B2WE?ie=UTF8&tag=seasimweb-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B002H2B2WE">Tri Par #27-1213 Adjustable Acrylic Easel</a><img border="0" height="1" width="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=seasimweb-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B002H2B2WE"/> (Associates Account Link) So I picked one up and I think this thing is awesome!
