iPad 2 launch in Toronto: Line-up Report

I lined up for 11 hours (yes, I said 11 HOURS) in front of the Apple store for an iPad 2.

I continue to LOVE my iPad. No one loves their iPad as much as I love my iPad. I've been purposely restraining my iPad ravings in Blatherings because I figure not all of you want to hear them. If you DO, then you should follow my iPadGirl Twitter feed and my iPadGirl blog.
But I had to post here about being featured in Padgadget, one of my favourite iPad sites. You can read the article here:
I'm trying out the Squarespace app for the iPhone on my iPad. Hopefully SS will come out with a native iPad version soon!
Hm, let's try out the image insertion option and see what happens.
I've recently started experimenting with Moodboard, an iPad app. So far I love it! I created the image above in just a few minutes. It really appeals to my scrapbooker soul (no, I don't do scrapbooks but only because I really really don't need another hobby, no matter how appealing).
For those interested in my iPad and e-publishing posts, please follow @ipadgirl on Twitter, or visit my iPadGirl blog.
For those of you interested in iPad news, I'm funneling my obsessings into iPad Girl.
