I thought we could all use something lighter after my last couple of posts about pet food. I know I could. While I think it’s a hugely important issue, I can only think about it so much, and hope you welcome the break as well. We all just do the best we can, and hope

One of the big tech news stories this week has been the release of the long anticipated Apple iPad. At times, all the jokes and puns due to the ‘pad’ part of its name have overshadowed talk about its design and features.
