My parents bought me an Ipad2 for Christmas and I love it! It was suppose to be a graduation gift, since I'm expecting to finish my Masters program this April, but they decided to just give it to me as a Christmas present (I had to beg them a little XD).

Took 6 shots and put all of them in one picture.

I'd set my mind on getting myself an iPad2 the moment it was announced but due to stock shortages, I lost interest over time (I wasn't as desperate to wait in line nor reserve one and Japan's launch date was pushed back due to the earthquake crisis at the time).

One weekend a few weeks back, I walked by the electronics store and out of curiosity, thought I'd check to see if any were available. As luck would have it, a handful were available on that day.

I've never owned an iPad before but I've grown used to it over the past few weeks and find it very useful for reading, managing my schedule, and recording everyday memories whenever I don't have my camera with me. Definitely a necessity in my bag everyday now : )

So decided to venture into the world of digital colur painting wit my ipad2! Sooooo fluid and love the way the paint mixes on screen and

Trails off with quick brush strokes, amazing bit if tech, will be using more now that I have found my ground with the software, next step on the spot, life speed paints :)

Why make a Robert Rauschenberg knockoff (with colors & proportions changed)? Because I got a notecard of Rauschenberg's Airport: Cat Paws, 1974 and was really impressed by it. It used to be, when artists wanted to fully appreciate and learn more about an artwork, they would set up an easel in the museum and copy it.

Also, it gave me a chance to experiment with a brush that kind of simulates loose-woven fabric and with combining digital painting & collage.

Macworld Grand Poobah Jason Snell, at last week's iPad 2 intro event. I snapped this photo of him using one of the demo units and emailed it to myself. Compare to this one, snapped a moment later using my iPhone 4. Both photos are unprocessed, but this emailed file was downsampled. I think it's a fair comparison at Flickr's default sizes.

For comparison to this photo taken with an iPad 2. You can see from the lower noise and richer color that the iPhone 4 camera is vastly superior. To my eyes, the iPad 2 cameras are identical to those in the current iPod Touch.

I received an iPad 2 for a birthday gift recently which plunged my peaceful being into the midst of a waging war I did not know was still going on. Truly the energy and knowing of war is with my soul from ancient lifetimes though this life I stand for peace and the beauty of harmony and dominion with Goddess in all things.

Remember or review on YouTube Steve Jobs giving a keynote speech in 1984?

He was fiercely competitive from an underdog position. Then they played that famous Apple 1984 commercial. Did you ever notice how similar recent keynote presentations by Steve Jobs with him on stage with huge screens and an enraptured following are in so many ways like unto that original commercial which was supposedly meant as a promise of freedom for all?

As I excitedly began to explore my new iPad 2 I soon discovered that when using imovies I could not access the clips I had taken with the apple camera unless I turned on location services. The device was literally forcing me to do what they want me to or I can' t even see let alone edit the clips on my pad. As I continued to work with all the delights of the iPad came more limitations and restrictions of the various freedoms and creativity that Apple seemed to me to be championing throughout their stellar corporate life.

The grand limitation that collided with my expectations of unbridled new levels of freedom and fun and play and more powerful and effective work with this truly wonderful device was discovering with shocked disbelief that I cannot even choose what internet browser I like to use and that site after site that I needed and wanted to visit in the Safari browser that is my only choice on iPad restricts the viewing of flash.

Even a visit to YouTube directly through Safari and not through the beautiful yet forced with no alternative YouTube app forced me to abandon my free-flowing adventures seeing empty movie player windows with "flash required" messages instead of the content I had surfed to discover. Visiting my Facebook and Twitter accounts I was also forced to abandon my flow due to "flash player not installed" messages. Of course you know Apple forbids you to install the flash player on your iPad.

I continued to study and research the matter. I read Steve Jobs letter, " Thoughts on Flash". I watched the documentary MacHeads. I did hours of googling on the matter. I began to notice all the competitor devices were now offering the selling slogans that let me know on their device I could view the real internet. Meaning that Apple is so severely limiting true freedom that it has now become a worldwide war centered around Flash but so much more than that. I deeply contemplated the history of the "Apple vs. all the others" battle that has waged since the beginning. I contemplated why Apple says they are doing this.

I am writing this in a cafe on my way to shop for a new device that allows me the freedom that Apple promises but does not deliver. IMHO.

I have my shiny new ipad2 on craigs list and have asked the ones who gave me this gift if I can have their help to return this and have the cash instead or perhaps a more suitable device such as a laptop with Windows 7. I appreciate this experience for the awareness it has brought to me about the current state of affairs in global interactive communication which is more exciting and fun now than ever before. And I pray for peace in the war Apple wages it seems now more fiercely than ever. I ask for a most benevolent outcome for all concerned including me and this ipad 2 on which I write this post.
