The “Reading on the iPad” series explores the experience across Newspapers, magazines and more.
“Three Reasons.” Mini-reviews of iOS apps I love.
You don’t post every day.
That’s right. Here’s why.
Where are the comments, categories and tags?
Here’s the long version of why 52 Tiger has no comments. The short version is that it’s been my experience that anonymity + Internet = asshole. If you want to get in touch with me, shoot me an email. That simple speed bump deters 99.9% of the would-be commenters who really have nothing else to say.
As for categories and tags, they’re there but I don’t feel the need to display them. The same goes for archives.

Re: iPhone Slide Lock Thing.
You can accidentally tap the camera button as much as you like – wont open the camera app unless you slide it up.
I love the new screen. I had my 4s for about 3 minutes before I predicted they would do it this way with the next update.
And I’m left handed.
Why doesn’t it do the same on iPad with 5.1 ?
Great site, enjoying it.
