IPad Companion

Joes makes a living primarily writing books, ebooks, and articles about Macs and other high-tech subjects (with the occasional foray into unusual topics such as cooking Thanksgiving dinner). He currently serves as Senior Editor of TidBITS, the world s second-longest-running internet publication, and Senior Contributor to Macworld. He's also the instigator of Interesting Thing of the Day, which really will come back to life with new articles one of these days as well a few other sites (all published under the auspices of alt concepts ) that are now, for all practical purposes, defunct: SenseList, The Geeky Gourmet, and Truffles for Breakfast."
