Dear Friends,

It is iPad launch day! We have been receiving inventory and we are looking forward to a frenzy at our stores. With to few iPads to meet the demand of customers, it seems like the mad scramble is on as Apple has already sold out the initial supply of iPads. Pretty amazing that Apple keeps hitting these home runs (and just in time for baseball season).

I was down in Jacksonville, FL to visit a customer and while it was hot and sunny there, it was also unseasonably warm and sunny in Vermont. So much so that they are predicting temperatures in the 70s this weekend and hopefully, my road will dry out enough to get Grace’s motorcycle down the road for an early spring ride.

If you travel, one app that I cannot do without now is Tripit. This is a clever app that tracks all your travel plans, alerts you to gate changes and delays and is a one stop place to monitor your travel. You simply forward all your air or hotel or car rental confirmations to Tripit and they take care of the rest! Highly recommended.

Rebecca and I have completed the second episode of our 1-hour talk show on Vermont radio station WDEV. It is called Small Dog Speaks and we are having some fun taking calls and answering questions on line. Click here to listen to the archives on our site.

We are looking for an intro, some music, maybe a jingle and then we have to produce some commercials, but Rebecca and I are having some fun. Feel free to call in Thursdays at 1PM at 877.291.8255 or follow us on Twitter and ask us some questions there!
