I had a conversation today that caused me to spend some time thinking about failure, success, and starting over. In the course of that contemplation, some things became clear to me that, at least to me, seem pretty profound and I wanted to share them with you.

The dictionary defines success as

An event that accomplishes its intended purpose

It doesn’t say anything about cars, houses or money. It doesn’t speak to your level of education, your earnings potential, or your family genealogy. It simply and succinctly states how we can achieve success… by accomplishing our intended purpose!

Ok, ok… so its a funny title, but its pretty descriptive of this week’s episode of Life In the Internet, the weekly podcast about tech, the Internet, the cloud… and just about anything else we can come up with! This week your hosts @VickieRigsby and @jtrigsby chat about:

• birthday wishes for our son-in-law
• the arrival of the iPad and Vickie’s burning question about it
• the announcement of iPhone OS 4.0 earlier this week. What’s in it, what’s not, and who’s getting it!
• (almost) a rant about net neutrality, what it is, why you need to know and what happened this week that could make using the Internet bad for you… maybe… ( be sure to visit the Electronic Frontier Foundation to find out more)
• and finally, Vickie talks about her latest post on CulinaryClique.com and how to grow an herb garden (btw, there’s a wonderful marinara recipe that goes along with that post… I’m just sayin…)

All this and more on this week’s show.

Oh, and the question of the week…

If you have an iPad, what has been your experience with the on-screen keyboard? Is it usable? Tell us what you think in the comments below or send Vickie a tweet @VickieRigsby.

Thats it for this week gang. Be sure to join us again next Monday for another installment of Life In the Internet!
