For something I could use to help me along getting myself better known on the web, take some notes, and check my email, among other features? Well, maybe, but I could do that with any old application on a tablet or cell phone even, but could I do it in a geek-enough style? Thanks to an iPad application called “Captain’s Log”, I can!

If anything, the iPad is a better version of Star Trek’s PADD (Personal Access Display Device), but for the last few years, PDAs, tablets, and the like have been able to do the same tasks as the PADD, but the iPad brings more sophisticated software and now, thanks to Captain’s Log, the look and feel of vintage Star Trek, though all it really is, is a spiffy skin for popular social networking tools, but as gimmicky as it may seem, it gives people a taste of the future, and a dash of Star Trek tech fulfillment.

This is the kind of tech and whimsical geeky stuff I could easily spend money on. If I had any.
