Sam McArdle over at FreelanceFuse was nice enough to interview me about being a freelancer- primarily how I started the business and manage my web development projects.

I weighed in on this almost…
I played with an iPad on display at Best Buy today, and I’ve got to say, I don’t hate it. After reading about it, I bashed it for the same reasons I bashed the iPhone/iPod Touch, not to mention that in my not-so-humble opinion, it is an awful ebook reader and won’t hold a candle to the Kindle.
