I work in advertising, but try not to make it my life. I love writing, art and design - and focus my time on these when I'm not working or hanging out with my family.
I'm really loving Flipboard for my iPad. It pulls feeds from various sources, even Twitter & Facebook, and turns them into a "magazine" style reader. Quick, easy and a great resource for the pop culture junky that the iPad was created for.
One downside - due to overwhelming response, my Twitter + Facebook feeds were not able to be pulled in. Looks like they're trying to fix it now.
