Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

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!

What has been your experience with the [iPad] on-screen keyboard?
From my post:

Using the iPad's keyboard to search the App store is much better than navigating on the Nook…

I must say that the iPad's capacitive, multi-touch screen was a dream to use compared to the Nook's setup. I instinctively turned the iPad to a landscape orientation. The keyboard didn't feel cramped at all, undoubtably because there were no physical keys to which to attempt to conform one's hands. Actually typing on the iPad wasn't difficult at all, but it would take some getting used to if you plan on attempting to type anything more than a string or two of text. Even standing in the store, I remember the keyboard dock that Steve Jobs promised on launch day and yearned for it…

I think that iPad could become a laptop replacement tool if you bought the docking keyboard and had enough app support.

I thought you'd mention our @bnbhuntsville conversation: is the FCC the right organization to regulate net neutrality?

[...] I was listening to Life in the Internet (@LifeITI) and was tweeting my thoughts in real-time. In the middle of the podcast, both Thom @jtrigsby and @VickieRigsby simultaneously mentioned that they did NOT have Comcast as their ISP, at which point I tweeted, .@VickieRigsby and @jtrigsby is NOT Comcastic.
