I think it's part of this big move for sites to start formatting their layouts to cater to tablet/pad devices. Unfortunately, for those of us with actual computers.

I guess when those things start coming out with 25" screens, we'll start to see normal websites again.
No the actual site it terrible on the iPad as well. Thankfully they haven't wrecked the mobile app yet.

In other news, my aunt died yesterday after a brief, acute illness that caused a hemorrhage in her brain. She slipped into a coma after being admitted to hospital. Her kids were by her side when they took her off life support, and some of her organs were harvested for donation. I am glad that some people are able to live because of her. She just turned 56 on Tuesday .

My dad was very close to her as he is only a year older. She lived out in Vancouver so if there is a funeral service or something like that, my dad will fly out there. His other sister in Los Angeles would also fly out for a service. My cousins are all grown - there are three of them, all in their early 30's. They are taking it really hard of course, but are handling everything that has to be done really well.

The rest of the extended family is still in New Zealand, but they know and have sent their condolences. We got Facebook to memorialize/archive her profile, and set it so that friends and family can still post condolences and memories and photos.

It's been a really difficult couple of years for the family - my grandmother died in February 2011 and my dad is still reeling from that.
