As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, we are on spring break right now and it’s coloring what I write about. So, in keeping with that I chose my app for today based on part of how we’ve spent our time. No, we have not sat around on our gadgets and missed out on the world … Continue reading

App of the Week: Audible
My app this week is a free one called Audible. Audible.com, as described on their site, is “a premier provider of digital audiobooks and more.” The way audible works, you sign up for a membership which allows you to use credits for free books or purchase books at a discounted rate. There are different tiers … Continue reading
App of the Week: Fast Camera
I’ve been trying out a new app this week called, Fast Camera. The app name pretty much sums it up. It’s a camera and it’s fast. Like another app I reviewed (Capture), Fast Camera begins doing its thing as soon as you open the app. It immediately begins click, click, clicking. What that means for you is … Continue reading
iPad new or iPad 2- what’s the difference?
Thursday is usually my “App of the Week” review day, but with Apple just announcing the “new iPad” yesterday, I felt I should throw that in the mix today instead of my typical app post. My app review can wait. So, the new iPad, is it worth it? I would never call myself an Apple “fanboy” … Continue reading
App of the Week: Overdrive… via Storify
My app of the week is kind of a two for one. I reviewed Overdrive, an app that allows you to check out ebooks from your library, but I did my review using another app that’s just plain fun. The app I used to write my review is called Storify. Storify is a new app … Continue reading
iPhone Photography Resources

I have no doubt the camera on the next iPhone will be even better (some rumors suggest up into double digit megapixels- I can’t wait!). Camera phones are just getting better and better and with a … Continue reading
App of the week: PaperKarma
A couple weeks ago I got this really cool free app (check out this post for more cool free apps), called PaperKarma. In a nutshell, this app takes care of all your unwanted junk mail. Their “about” page gives some great information about their motivation and purpose, so I just took a couple of screenshots … Continue reading
Which apps are best? 50 Free iPhone Apps for 2012
A couple months ago I wrote a post listing my top ten iPhone apps (in which I actually included about 15 apps). In the process of writing that post, I realized that I needed to add a top ten iPhone apps part two, to include some apps that didn’t fit in my top ten, but … Continue reading
What kindergarteners already know about Pinterest
Kindergarteners know that it isn’t okay to copy someone else’s work without permission (and even if we said okay, we’d probably still want credit for it). I know the teacher said it was a compliment that they liked our stuff enough to copy it, but it still didn’t seem fair. That’s because it wasn’t. It … Continue reading
App of the Week: Clear- is it a better “to do” app?
I’m trying out a new app called “Clear,” that I thought I’d share with you. As you may remember from one of my previous posts, I’m kind of a list maker. I even add things to my list after the fact just so I can cross it off. So, an app that’s for us list making … Continue reading
