My desperately needed iPhone 5 replacement battery would be installed at an Apple Store centered in a shoppers paradise — arguably the Chicago area’s most preferred and upscale shopping center. But I shop only when necessary. So I opened my iPad, doodled these and then made them into a triptych. It wasn’t until later that I saw them as windows to the Web, which we really can’t see, windows or not. That makes this kind of a fairy tale doodle.
