00:49:42 ◼   ► my life know that it's looking about [TS]

00:49:43 ◼   ► people in my life can basically figure [TS]

00:49:47 ◼   ► out when a video is shortly coming [TS]

00:49:48 ◼   ► because they realize that I just drop [TS]

00:49:50 ◼   ► off the radar for a couple of weeks yeah [TS]

00:49:51 ◼   ► but then we also know when it's nearly [TS]

00:49:54 ◼   ► out because racket so chatty [TS]

00:49:57 ◼   ► yeah but never chatted about work stuff [TS]

00:49:59 ◼   ► just gently just like hey did you know [TS]

00:50:02 ◼   ► ya audience the message are talking [TS]

00:50:04 ◼   ► talking but yeah so so yesterday I was [TS]

00:50:08 ◼   ► trying to clear a bunch of [TS]

00:50:13 ◼   ► through on this baby pro and I took it [TS]

00:50:15 ◼   ► out and I had the keyboard external [TS]

00:50:16 ◼   ► keyboard within the pencil and I was [TS]

00:50:17 ◼   ► like okay this to me [TS]

00:50:19 ◼   ► kind of feels right that I can take this [TS]

00:50:22 ◼   ► smaller device out to some place like a [TS]

00:50:27 ◼   ► coffee shop and growing through a bunch [TS]

00:50:30 ◼   ► of administrative work and then leave [TS]

00:50:33 ◼   ► and and be done with that there and and [TS]

00:50:35 ◼   ► I i think this is this is going to work [TS]

00:50:37 ◼   ► out the one the one little wrinkle in [TS]

00:50:41 ◼   ► this is i'm not quite sure because this [TS]

00:50:45 ◼   ► will end up being like an all-purpose [TS]

00:50:46 ◼   ► ipad like I'm a little bit concerned [TS]

00:50:49 ◼   ► about some of my other use of it like Oh [TS]

00:50:51 ◼   ► what I want to do when I'm just relaxing [TS]

00:50:52 ◼   ► like playing a game or something like I [TS]

00:50:53 ◼   ► don't [TS]

00:50:54 ◼   ► this will be that ipad for that as well [TS]

00:50:56 ◼   ► so I that's my one little wrinkle on [TS]

00:50:59 ◼   ► this right now but for the [TS]

00:51:00 ◼   ► moment I feel like I'm pretty happy with [TS]

00:51:03 ◼   ► my physical working set up in a way that [TS]

00:51:06 ◼   ► i haven't been for a long time because [TS]

00:51:09 ◼   ► I've really come to terms with this idea [TS]

00:51:11 ◼   ► that like the mac is just used for a few [TS]

00:51:13 ◼   ► specific tasks stop trying to pretend [TS]

00:51:15 ◼   ► like you're super productive on it [TS]

00:51:17 ◼   ► you're not [TS]

00:51:18 ◼   ► and here's what you're going to do with [TS]

00:51:20 ◼   ► these other other various devices so [TS]

00:51:23 ◼   ► that's that's the whole big story behind [TS]

00:51:25 ◼   ► these home screens so I think maybe [TS]

00:51:29 ◼   ► eventually this this ipad hear that you [TS]

00:51:34 ◼   ► to show me will maybe end up looking a [TS]

00:51:36 ◼   ► little bit more like my ipad oh yeah [TS]

00:51:39 ◼   ► well because it will become more [TS]

00:51:41 ◼   ► multi-purpose you'll have more and more [TS]

00:51:43 ◼   ► things on it right yeah I don't have [TS]

00:51:45 ◼   ► other icons on the desktop because it is [TS]

00:51:47 ◼   ► multi-purpose as in when i was playing [TS]

00:51:50 ◼   ► around with the setup i originally [TS]

00:51:51 ◼   ► thought oh let me pull out all of the [TS]

00:51:52 ◼   ► apps that i might receive notifications [TS]

00:51:54 ◼   ► for and put them on the front but then [TS]

00:51:56 ◼   ► that to me was like i don't know i don't [TS]

00:51:57 ◼   ► like this at all because they're just [TS]

00:51:58 ◼   ► looking at it there's a feeling of [TS]

00:52:00 ◼   ► obligation here and what I want instead [TS]

00:52:03 ◼   ► is that this is the only ipad where apps [TS]

00:52:06 ◼   ► are allowed to have badges and so what [TS]

00:52:08 ◼   ► will happen is on that little folder a [TS]

00:52:11 ◼   ► badge will appear if there's a [TS]

00:52:13 ◼   ► notification one of those apps and then [TS]

00:52:15 ◼   ► I swipe down on notification center and [TS]

00:52:17 ◼   ► can tap on exactly what it is and it [TS]

00:52:19 ◼   ► just brings me right to the apt to reply [TS]

00:52:21 ◼   ► about whatever [TS]

00:52:21 ◼   ► ok so will be more stuff on it but it [TS]

00:52:23 ◼   ► will still be controlled as to how it [TS]

00:52:25 ◼   ► looks [TS]

00:52:26 ◼   ► yeah i think i might leave it control to [TS]

00:52:28 ◼   ► the way that it looks because i'm also [TS]

00:52:30 ◼   ► thinking like I was relaxing and playing [TS]

00:52:33 ◼   ► for example like XCOM on this ipad with [TS]

00:52:35 ◼   ► a with a pencil while I was sitting on [TS]

00:52:38 ◼   ► the couch right like that's the one [TS]

00:52:39 ◼   ► place where i'm like i need to figure [TS]

00:52:40 ◼   ► out exactly how this is going to work [TS]

00:52:42 ◼   ► like will I put it into do not disturb [TS]

00:52:44 ◼   ► after a certain period of time like I [TS]

00:52:46 ◼   ► haven't figured out precisely what those [TS]

00:52:48 ◼   ► wrinkles are yet but because i'm using [TS]

00:52:52 ◼   ► it for many things I don't want to have [TS]

00:52:54 ◼   ► it set up so it's like oh I have a bunch [TS]

00:52:55 ◼   ► of game icons on here because then if i [TS]

00:52:58 ◼   ► take it to go do some administrative [TS]

00:53:00 ◼   ► work my brains going to be like yeah but [TS]

00:53:01 ◼   ► XCOM looks more fun and I don't want a [TS]

00:53:04 ◼   ► bunch of work icons on here because then [TS]

00:53:08 ◼   ► that creates this feeling of obligation [TS]

00:53:09 ◼   ► so that that's why this is the one [TS]

00:53:11 ◼   ► that's the funny one and that's why it [TS]

00:53:13 ◼   ► said [TS]

00:53:14 ◼   ► in a particular way of like I'm trying [TS]

00:53:15 ◼   ► to keep it more neutral about what is [TS]

00:53:17 ◼   ► the purpose of this device in my life [TS]

00:53:20 ◼   ► ok one of the things I don't know just [TS]

00:53:23 ◼   ► annoys the right word but one of the [TS]

00:53:26 ◼   ► things about you is frustrates me that I [TS]

00:53:30 ◼   ► see these things and I look crazy and by [TS]

00:53:32 ◼   ► the time you're done [TS]

00:53:33 ◼   ► they start to make sense si si that's a [TS]

00:53:36 ◼   ► that's exactly what everybody thinks all [TS]

00:53:38 ◼   ► you lunatic but if I can explain myself [TS]

00:53:40 ◼   ► I think it comes off sounding perfectly [TS]

00:53:42 ◼   ► reasonable i picked up my hair to [TS]

00:53:45 ◼   ► yesterday but I haven't for a long time [TS]

00:53:47 ◼   ► mhm and it's I want to play it a little [TS]

00:53:52 ◼   ► yeah but you were you thinking what are [TS]

00:53:53 ◼   ► you thinking so that size is great for [TS]

00:53:59 ◼   ► different reasons like it's really like [TS]

00:54:01 ◼   ► it's really portable I can hold it [TS]

00:54:03 ◼   ► really easily both hands it has a split [TS]

00:54:04 ◼   ► keyboard which the big Pro doesn't have [TS]

00:54:07 ◼   ► a very nice which is great but what it [TS]

00:54:11 ◼   ► what it lacks is the multitasking isn't [TS]

00:54:14 ◼   ► as good as it is on the big ipad so I [TS]

00:54:18 ◼   ► just want to play with a little bit more [TS]
