A week with my kobo eReader

Moving to a more iPad oriented life
I’ve always loved the iPad. I’ve owned an iPad since the first one came out. Up until the last few years, despite Apple’s advertising, and die hard fan’s shoehorning, the iPad was mostly for consumption. That’s not a dig. It was an awesome RSS/Blog reader.

It’s the Blue Jet, circa 1990. I loved this thing. I bought a glow in the dark ‘Swatch Guard’ for it. Since it was my first analog watch…
I Made a Lightsaber
The main goal of the trip was Galaxy’s Edge, or as I call it, “Star Wars Land” so I could make a Lightsaber!
