Hey, everyone. I've been having a great time watching the hit TV show called Baggage. As I mentioned in a previous post this game is on the Game Show Network at 9:30 PM Eastern time. The premise of the game is similar to the Dating Game but a contestant has to choose from three people of the opposite sex as these three reveal their dark secrets and weird hangups. It is hosted by the funny Jerry Springer and the show is endlessly entertaining.
As we recently watched several episodes we had taped, I turned to my wife and suggested that we could take a note card and write down our small, medium and large baggage that we'd give Jerry if we appeared on the show. I told her a couple that I'd write down, as if she didn't know about mine decades ago. She told me which ones she'd write down and we had a few laughs about it.
My point is this. Some game developer could make a lot of money by creating a home edition of this game. Can you imagine a big group at a party if everybody wrote down their baggage and then had other people trying to guess what baggage went with what person? It would be hilarious. There would doubtless be a few fights, but whatever.
Hey, I'm not too crazy about the Smart Cover for the new I-Pad 2. Here's the issue, the 'baggage' of this piece of gear. When I use the I-Pad I fold the cover over and hold the I-Pad in my left hand. The Smart Cover is magnetic but will not hold on the back of the I-Pad because it is anodized aluminum or something. Therefore the cover wants to flop around. On my I-Pad original model I just had a book cover type of deal. It won't fit right on the thinner I-Pad 2 and has no cut outs for the cameras of the I-Pad 2. I'll still use the Smart Cover and just fold it back to magnetize to its self, but I'm not wild about it.
The I-Pad 2 is definitely faster, better for web surfing. The games look better already, (which may be my imagination) and I can only imagine what the developers will be able to do with the heightened capabilities as the weeks go by. I certainly like having the additional storage that I got with the I-Pad 2, so that I don't have to swap stuff in and out like I did on the 16 Gig version. I haven't even tried the cameras or the video capability yet. The speaker is certainly bigger and has better sound.
I just bought the I-Movie app and the Garage Band app but I haven't had time to mess with them yet. From what I've read they are a delight, especially Garage Band.
Back to the Smart Cover. The reason I originally bought a cover for my first I-Pad was because the back of the tablet is fairly slick metal and I was afraid I'd drop it. This Smart Cover leaves the back uncovered, of course, for the cameras, and if I don't have the cover folded back then I worry that I might drop it. This is not a deal breaker, as Jerry Springer would say, but you might want to know.
Just for fun tonight, write down your three baggage things and have your significant other do the same. Then write down what your spouse's baggage should be for the show before you 'show and tell'. If you are still in good health tomorrow, I'll probably have another post for you to read. From the author's green retreat, I'm CE Wills.
