My favorite tower defense game ever, Kingdom Rush, is now out in an iPad version. There’s also Windosill. I actually played the iPad version first, and it totally captivated me and my girls.

Ran into this recently, with a buddy of mine recommending an old Fresh Air episode that didn’t show up on the list of available episodes in iTunes. I wanted to get it on my iPod in with the other Fresh Air podcasts, rather than dumping it into the “music” folder (which would have worked, if you aren’t compulsive about where things go).

Download and install an MP3 tag editor that can view/edit extended tags. I use Mp3tag.

Download the old podcast you want, and open it in Mp3tag. Pick “extended tags” and create the following tags:

PODCAST = 1
PODCASTDESC = episode name
PODCASTID = episode URL
PODCASTURL = podcast subscription URL

You can look at the extended tags for an existing podcast to see sample values.

Save the tags, and then drag and drop the podcast into iTunes. It should appear where it belongs.

I like the look of the Wolfram Alpha Course Assistant apps. This has got to be a great time to be a student.

Wow, I’m pretty sure if I owned an iPad it wouldn’t be able to do this.

Oh what the hell, everybody else is writing about it. Here are the best iPad pieces I’ve read:

• Why the iPad may be just what we need for Digital Inclusion
• Is the iPad the harbinger of doom for personal computing?
• Old World vs. New World Computing
• Stephen Fry’s total over-the-top infectious rave
