An iPad + a bit of Velcro

I just realized that I can use my iPad in a lot of different ways... here is a very clever one!
You just need a bit of velcro and not to be too fussy about "ruining" your iPad...
IMPORTANT: use good quality material... remember that a few extra bucks on good velcro may save your very expensive toy ;)
So, here we go:

1. Get the velcro and cut 4 squares 5x5 cm (better to put the soft side of the velcro "female" on the iPad for obvious resons)... stick them onto the back of your iPad like I've done in the picture below (sorry for the quality... just took them quickly using the iPhone 3G). This way you'll be able to attach the iPad in both portrait and landscape mode

2. Cut some strips of the rough "male" part of velcro  (20cm long) and put them wherever you recon you'll use the iPad (on a wall, in the kitchen, in the toilet (my favorite), in the car.... etc) as shown in the pictures below

3. Let the velcro (both the male and the female) rest for 3-4 hours ... they deserve it!  

This will give it time to stick properly and avoid accidents later on.

4. Now you can place your iPad wherever you have placed a piece of "male" velcro... 

Here are some pictures of where I've placed my iPad so far... great! I love it!

I can listen to the radio, watch the news or videos while doing something else, check on my FB, Twitter, LinkedIn accounts etc, etc 

So, hope you like it... have fun!

Ahh.. one more thing. Don't blame it on me if you damage your iPad. Do this at your own risk!

How to become a better blogger!

Of course teaching someone to ‘be unique’ is a challenge. Uniqueness by definition isn’t something that I can really tell you how to be – your blogs uniqueness is something that needs to come from your own uniqueness as a person – at least to some extent.
Having said that – some of the ways that blogs tend to be unique and stand out from the crowd often start with:

1. Voice – your style of writing. Manolo the shoe blogger was the first blogger I remember reading with a really unique voice (he writes in the third person).

2. Topic/s – Manolo again an example of uniqueness in this – his two topics when he first started were ‘celebrities’ and their ’shoes’. John Chow perhaps is another example – who ever heard of a make money online blogger who documents his food and talks about cars?

3. Design – the way your blog looks is a great way to make an impression, grab attention and stand out from the crowd.

4. Being First – not easy to do but if you can be one of the first blogs in a niche it can help you stand out. ProBlogger would be my own lucky example of this – at the time no one else was blogging about making a living from blogs.
