Instapaper to Readability ⇾
Marco on why you would hook Instapaper and Readability up together:
The answer is simple: use whichever one is a better fit for you. With this method, you can easily use both if you want: Instapaper for managing your reading, and Readability to contribute to publishers.
Functionally, there’s not much point. But one thing we’ve learned the past three to five years — people want to support the content creators they love. I’ve been waiting to incorporate Readability to my own site, but I’m not waiting to support the work of the people I enjoy.
“Find good coffee. (Intended for black-coffee drinkers. If you put crap in your coffee, you’ll probably like it from anywhere.) The Blue Bottle Cafe, 66 Mint St., is best. But because it’s a gourmet, slow-process boutique, it takes more time than you probably have before the morning session. The best fast option is the Peet’s at 370 4th St., which is a small step above Starbucks in black-coffee quality. The brownish liquid substance in those giant metal urns in Moscone is not coffee. Do not attempt to drink it.”
The iPad doesn’t need to do everything ⇾
Marco gives a great overview of his usage of the iPad has played out in his life.
- I’ll play games on it.
- I’ll check email on it, but not respond much, because that requires a lot of typing.
- I’ll check RSS and Twitter on it, but not exclusively.
- I’ll read for short periods on it before my hands get tired of holding it.
His description closely mirrors my own findings, as the iPad has been mostly used as a device to use while away from my computer, but still in my home. For around the house, it has completely replaced my iPhone usage.
I would only add one more item to the list above. I’ve used the iPad to watch movies as well — I’m currently catching up on Lost season 4. My iPad has been a pleasant way to do so.
