One of the most anticipated announcements in 2010 comes from Apple, who have announced the iPad today.

My initial reaction seems to think that this is a really cool and innovative product. (Basically a pimped out iPhone). Although I am not a big Apple user I would have no problem using any of their products. I currently only use the iPod but used a mac during my tenure at Takkle. I love the UI for Apple products yet can't seem to get over the hurdle of their price points. I plan to migrate to the iPhone whenever it goes to the Verizon network, and I'm currently in the market for a new computer but not sure if I want to migrate to Mac.

Check out what some of the top tech blogs had to say about the iPad, as I am basing a lot of my opinion off of what they have to say, especially since most of them get to see it in action first hand. (Gizmodo, Engadget, Mashable, Techcrunch)

In essence this is a beefed up netbook/iPhone. I don't see people walking all over the place with their iPad's but it certainly is a great way to stay connected and get stuff done when not working on your regular computer. It does however spell the end for all of the new book readers, in my opinion. Amazon, Barnes and Nobles, Sony and whoever else is deciding to make these new readers have a bumpy road ahead of them. Overall, the reading experience looks much more like you're actually reading a book and all of the apps available at your finger tips along with an unlimited data plan via AT&T make it quite the hot item.

So I was going through my Google Reader articles and came across a cool site called Web Seer, via Lifehacker. So I decided to type a query of "Why do men" and "Why do women" similar to their example of "men want" and "women want". The results are pretty funny...The most common suggestion being why do women and men have affairs....as they deviate from the most popular they get pretty funny. It's interesting to see that the top 3 searches for why do men, involve some kind of cheating.

This will surely occupy a good hour of my time as I look for some funny relationships so stay tuned for more to come...

As mentioned in previous posts I haven't given my blog the time and attention it needs to grow and flourish. I've been neglecting my readers. Content is king and if there isn't fresh content then why should you come back. So I'm hoping you take this as an apology and let's kick some ass in 2010!

I haven't made many posts lately. That should be a resolution, in fact it will be a resolution since I haven't had any resolution in 2010 yet! I've been busy trying to come up with ideas for a new blog that I write for about the Yankees. It's called Yankeeist and I'm happy to be part of the team with two extremely talented writers in Larry Koestler and Mike Jaggers -Radolf.

Check out my latest post as a retrospective on the Alex Rodriguez trade of 2004.

So this is a little dated but a couple weeks ago I penned an article for a Yankees blog that has been gaining some good traction.

When it comes to Yankees and Sabremetrics it comes naturally so it was a match made in heaven when Larry asked me to join.

Check out the article for Yankeeist on the all time worst Yankees of the past decade..

Check back more often as I'd like to write more in 2010 both on Cleats Up and Yankeeist.
