Just as the continual saga of Oklahoma weather was on the news again, my power went out. Normally very reliable, it has suffered through the soggy day. So now, I am without lights, TV, AC, and wifi. Luckily for me, I can get to my flashlight with my iPad, listen to music with the iPod function, surf the internet with 3G, or play games, or read a book. This is a good example of a few of the ways the iPad is useful. Now if I had a battery powered CPAP, I could get a good night rest. Especially if my AC had backup.
