iPad specific apps I particularly like: Bento, Index Card, Osmos, Magic Piano, and Enigmo. The Ice and Fire weather app sumi linked to a while back is beautiful.
Can't you ever get your mind out of the hellmouth?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Jessica, it's hooked up with red-yellow-white cables - looks like component but isn't. The DVD player says HDMI on the front, so it must be possible to hook it up that way, but I don't see the connector. What does it look like?
That must be the problem - I thought it was hoked up with HDMI, but it must not be. I foresee a trip to Radio Shack in the morning.

Hey. New board.
The red, yellow, and white cables are old AV cables and will not give you an HD signal. The HDMI is probably the best way to go: they have a very flat metal connector, almost like a USB connector, and can carry both video and sound on that one connector. They will sell the cables at Radio Shack, though they're notoriously overpriced at brick and mortar stores. If you want to get it working tomorrow, that's your only choice, but if you can wait a few days you could order one from Amazon, monoprice.com, newegg.com, or even radioshack.com for less than $10. At the Radio Shack store it'll probably be closer to $20, if not higher.

Red-yellow-white are composite - they can't carry an HD signal. The HDMI port is the one that looks kind of like a big USB port. Either HDMI or component cables should work, but don't buy them at Radio Shack - you can get either for much cheaper online.

Jessica,
here is the gizmodo list:
Goodreader for Ipad is worth the additional price.
Penultimate, Iannotate PDF, Noteshelf, Writings, Notability, Pages (notes and writing)
Games: Forget.Me.Not, Plants Vs Zombies ipad version is SUPERIOR, corpse craft is fucking fun
How to Cook Everything
Amazon Windowshop, Jetsetter, I like River of News better than Reeder on the Ipad, Newsy, Cloudreaders (I use this for comic book reading - which I do rarely)

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
they may indeed have an app for that.

That was a great article, DCJ, thanks for passing it along.

Be sure and check under "Genius" in the App Store for iPad upgrades from your iPhone apps.
t, do you mean in iTunes, or on the iPad itself?
