Virtual Pants

Great story about a lost iPad. The best thing I’ve read this month:

I left my iPad on a plane the other day. The crazy thing about it – as if there needs to be an extra layer of crazy about leaving a hugely expensive and personal and professionally vital device on an airplane – was that I thought about it five minutes before I did it. Not after. BEFORE. I put the iPad in the front seat pocket just as the plane was in its final descent, and I thought: “You know, I better remember this. I’ve got all my numbers and notes and work ideas and unfinished novels and secrets of the golf swing on this. It would be incredibly stupid to leave this iPad on the plane.”
