I live in Nashville, TN, and the stereotype of guys here is that we’re burly dudes with cowboy hats and boots who drive pick-ups with gun racks. I’m 165 pounds, go hatless and prefer tennis shoes to boots. I also drive an Escort (gun not included).

But I can ride a horse and — yippee ki yay — if the Saddleback Briefcase from Saddleback Leather (http://www.saddleback.com) doesn’t bring out the cowboy in me. And it may bring out the cowgirl in you ladies.

Let’s not mince words. Apple’s kludge for moving iWork docs between the iPad and a Mac pretty much stinks. It’s awkward, unintuitive and very Apple-ish. Enter Ecamm’s PadSync (http://www.ecamm.com/mac/padsync/), which offers a better alternative.

Pages, Numbers and Keynote let you share files between your iPad and a Mac via iTunes File Sharing. PadSync streamlines the experience with two-way syncing and also works with other apps that support iTunes File Sharing.
