What a way to write off the weekend
Aside from grunting through my taxes, this weekend has been rather entertaining, from an iPad perspective.

Woot! New Canon Rebel T3 cameras

An awesomely speced-out camera, as all the Rebel’s are, aimed squarely at the consumer Digital SLR and home video market — yes, the Rebel T2i was a true hybrid. Well, today Canon reprised that tune with the announcement of…
