Finding Wippy

There’s a quest to find the Wippy bunny, this new meme image that appeared sometime ago in the Internets.  How can one describe the bunny?  It’s pink, it’s ugly and looks like a geek. 

Now after applying some of my Google Fu I found out that the Wippy bunny had very interesting origins.  Apparently it is from the line of dolls called Uglydolls. 

Initially named Ugly Doll, singular, not plural, Uglydolls started with a mere illustration of a weird creature that David Horvath did on a letter he wrote to his Korean girlfriend, who was moving away.  In the letter he indicated his goal of reaching their dreams as a couple—to be able to tell stories via books and toys.  Horvath was surprised with what he received included in the reply from his girlfriend: a hand sewn Wage!  There begins the story of the Uglydolls.

Horvath shared his girlfriend’s creation to Eric Nakamura, who owns the Giant Robot Magazine and shop—another brand with humble, garage-level origins.  Nakamura thought David was pitching a product and asked for more dolls.  He accompanied his girlfriend’s creations with lots of stories of the crazy adventures of their characters.  They’ve been creating dolls since the year 2000, and it’s been selling like crazy!
Apparently, Wippy came out in the year 2010, a pink creature with bunny like ears.  He’s listed as Product # 10438 and costs USD 20.  Wippy has this description on his page:

“Dude, like seriously for real, Wippy is looking out for you. Every time you see Wippy you might as well shout out “Good lookin' out!", because he probably did something remarkable for you without you even being aware of it! In fact, most the time... you'll swear Wippy's done absolutely nothing for you. That's how stealth his awesome forces of assistance is. For real though! Remember that time you were all depressed and wondering when things were going to turn around? I know, huh. Anyway, Wippy's got you.” 


Sounds like a writeup for a guardian Angel!

Apple iPad 4

With the third-generation model discontinued, the 4th gen release does not disappoint due to the iPad's new processor- it's faster with a better battery life plus improved Wi-Fi capability, notable front camera and the ultimate dock called a Lightning connector.

Still way stellar than most tablets in the market, it can handle heavy loading apps in seconds and at zero boot time. Definitely, a good choice for anyone buying an iPad for the first time.

Read a Book on an iPad: Better than Kindle?

As far as e-book content goes, the iPad has you covered. Every major e-book retailer (and quite a few specialized stores) offer an iPad app, including Barnes & Noble, Amazon, Kobo, Google Books, Stanza, and Apple's own iBooks.
Mainstream magazines, including The New Yorker, Wired, and Vanity Fair, all have iPad-specific editions. Even specialty publications, such as comic books, test prep, and sheet music, have found their way onto the iPad.

But when you compare the experience of reading on the iPad with its paper-based ancestor or dedicated e-ink readers, the iPad still falls short. It's beefy at 1.44 pounds (a Kindle Touch weighs under half a pound), and in spite of the Retina Display's exquisitely rendered text, glare is still an issue--especially outdoors. Also, a product like the Nook Simple Touch promises up to two months of reading without a recharge, whereas the iPad will only get you 10 hours.

In spite of all these criticisms, the iPad has already proven itself a success as an e-reader. There are certainly cheaper options out there, but none with the breadth of features and e-book shopping options offered by the iPad.
