iPad 3G Arriving tomorrow!

I just got an email from Apple letting me know that my iPad 3G should be arriving tomorrow. This is the first official communication I’ve received from Apple since I placed my order within the first hour that the iPads were made available. Up until today, on the ‘Order Status’ website, the status had been Ship late April.

Now, all I need is the iPad

I’ve been feeling like an eight-year-old boy waiting for Christmas while I’ve been waiting for my iPad to arrive. When I placed my order, I purchased all of the Apple available accouterments. During the beginning part of April all of these iPad accessories arrived. Plus, I researched iPad carrying bags and purchased one. I’ve even been reading app reviews and purchasing apps in anticipating of my hopefully soon-to-arrive iPad. Everything is ready, I’m just waiting on my ‘dance partner’ to arrive.

In addition to the out-of-control, fan boy glamor of wanting an iPad, I’ve had time to contemplate how I’m going to use the iPad. My hope is that the iPad and its inherent technology will improve the quality of my life with better productivity and my ability to more fully contribute to the world.

The name of my company and this blog is Techtao. Techtao is a contraction of two words – Technological Taoism. What this means to me is “Using technology to live more harmoniously with the world.”  I’m hoping that the iPad will be a tool that I will want to use to be more productive as well as augment my imagination to contribute more. I know that a tool is only as good as the will, imagination and industriousness of the person using the tool. I have high hopes for the iPad.

Time will tell.  Stay posted
