A couple of months ago I reviewed what I believed (and still believe) to be the best stylus for the iPad (and one stylus that was complete crap). Since settling on a stylus that I was comfortable with I decided to move on and experiment with some of the more popular drawing apps available for the iPad. To be honest, I really dont have a favorite. They are all good in some respects and lacking in others. Therefore, Im going to structure this article as a series of mini reviews, spelling out where each app shines and where each falls short for me.
I meant to post these earlier this week, but I have had some Reality things that have kept me busy until now. While the other photos were taken the first day of typhoon Saola as the tropical storm was heading in, these were taken on day 2 when the bad weather was on its way out. Because the typhoon had crossed the protective mountain buffer, the rain was a bit more steady. Fortunately Saola had lost much of its power by then, so going out was just a matter of having an umbrella handy.
This is the final set of photos of typhoon Saola (2012) from the perspective of Taipei.
Taiwan is the constant target of typhoons, especially from mid-July through mid-September (a.k.a. Typhoon Season). Thankfully, the city of Taipei is protected on the weather-ward side by a mountain chain that transects the island north-to-south like a scoliotic spine. It takes quite a powerful storm to cause Taipei any significant property damage. Typhoon Saola didnt pass muster.

Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
As usually happens on daytrips out of the city, we stop briefly at a street market on the way back. As it happens, the fascinating farm of the frenzied friendly foot-feeding fish was in the mountains of Hsinchu county, the route to and from took us through the town of Beipu, which has a nice street market. Unlike last time at the Wulai city center in which we only had a few minutes, this time we had an hour to wander around before we had to hop back on the bus.
So here are the pictures of the Beipu old street market I was able to get in that time.
