Near the end of 2011, I bought myself an Apple iPad 2 (16GB, WiFi). Large files of class notes and stacks of textbooks had put me on a quest to go ‘paperless’ on my studies; the iPad seemed like the perfect vehicle for this quest. Accordingly, the iPad has truly revolutionized my study experience. The key to this revolution lies in choosing the right apps – a somewhat difficult task if one considers that the iOS App Store now contains well over 200 000 apps. With this post, therefore, I’m going to highlight the apps that currently play a big role in enhancing my studies. I’ll keep the list updated as I find new and better apps. Also, I’ve included some tips that have helped me put the iPad to even better use in my studies.
After an extended period of only blogging on Tumblr (and limiting my blog posts to creative musings and attempted poetry), I’ve extended my main website to include a WordPress-powered blog. I’ll be using this space to do some more serious writing and write-ups of travels/events. One of my first posts will be on how students can utilize Apple’s iPad to revolutionalize studying.
Watch this space.

waak oor ‘n slapende landskap
van koppies, randjies en amperse berge
en die liggies van rustige lewenswyses
wat plek-plek in die donkerte flikker.
‘n Paddakoor sing klik-klik
in verbroke harmonie tussen die riete
van die dam-hier-digby
terwyl ‘n eensame uil melankolies sug
en die vreedsaamheid beaam.
In die sagte geruis van die briesie
fluister die verbeeldingstem:
Hierdie wêreld ken nie die konstante gedruis
van ambisie en materialisme en liefdeloosheid nie.
Hier is jou rykdom vrede
en jou lafenis rus.
