Wednesday was a big day in my world, aka the print advertising community. With the introduction of the iPad, is this the future of the publishing realm? I think so. The Kindle was close, but Steve Jobs just took it five steps closer. I, myself, am not a big fan of the e-reader. I love my books and magazines in their original forms. I love the smell, the textures, and the proud feeling I get when displaying their spines in my overstuffed bookshelf. However, while slightly averse to change, I understand that times are a changin. What's next? A chip in my brain tat will automatically upload info? Maybe. For now, I'll continue to flip the actual pages of Oprah's latest book club pick.
iPad is a shiny new toy. Though I do not plan on spending $500 on what is basically a flat-style computer, I think it's cool...or at least I did until someone made me realize the name sounds like a feminine hygene product.
Two other things that were cool about Wednesday: 1) Queen Latifa opened up my company's State of the Union event and 2) on my way there I spotted Matthew Settle (aka: Rufus Humphrew on Gossip Girl). Though we both attended Us Weekly's Hot Hollywood party last year, he didn't seem to remember me.
