New Browsing, Products and Services

I've been waiting for Apple to announce a MacBook Air upgrade — hopefully a chasis redesign — but so far, nothing. The iPad looks really nice, however. Although the iPad seems like just a super-sized iPod touch — no camera, no multi-tasking, no Adobe Flash — I think it's great. Of course I don't like the limitations, but I'm okay with it. I use my iPod touch and iPhone for most of my work; a large-scale device, thin and light, with iWork apps... how is that not awesome? I'm writing this post from my iPhone — of course I'd like a 9.7" screen version! I hope the device has keyboard support.

I tried to update this blog from my Playstation 3, but I couldn't login. Squarespace isn't built to support the PS3 Mozilla browser. I did however pair my Apple Bluetooth keyboard with my PS3; making a few updates at my Backpack page, catching up at Gmail and using Bighugelabs' Writer was fairly convenient... and cool.

There were display issues with PS3 browsing and working (writing), but altogether, the experience was eye-opening. I'm thinking about trying to hookup my MacBook Pro to the plasma screen for easier writing; software such as Writeroom, or anything else with a full-screen "distraction-free" writing environment, will increase my output — allowing me to write even when sitting upright hurts too much.

I'm still looking into three-column designs.

Lastly, I've been streamlining my modern practical self defense system. More on that — perhaps with some sketches — next post. At the moment, I'm working on adding to AIS-insurance.com as the company has many hot new products, real game-changers, and interestingly — these aditions aren't insurance products.

One of the new services almost everyone can use. CARA HealthAdvantage offers a discount drug card — prescription discounts across the country at virtually all major pharmacies. Best of all, the card is free... and limitless. Download or request your copy; you can use it, and in addition, your family and friends can, too. Help your loved ones save some money.

You should know that I don't deal with scams, and I'd never peddle or offer one.

If you don't know me, look at AIS' history — thirty years doing business the right way, fighting to support individuals and small businesses, to give them benefits typically reserved for only the largest corporations willing to shell out top-dollar.

As always, if you want more details, contact AIS (800-788-6524) ask for Ed (direct extension 115) or Doug (125). Alternatively, you can contact me here, Twitter @bradtastic, or at Facebook.com/bradtastic.
