App of the Week: Pocket Bracket

I didn’t intend to have this one post today, so consider it a teaser… Selection Sunday is tomorrow and I’ll be telling you about why you need the app Pocket Bracket. Until then, get back to enjoying your weekend!

What really matters and why are we doing this to ourselves?

It’s 3:30 in the morning. Actually it was 3:30 in the morning. Now it’s 4:30. I’ve been lying in bed (laying? in bed- I can never keep those straight… I’m not a chicken, so I’m going with lying) with my thoughts going in circles for an hour now. I’ve mentioned before that when I can’t … 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 →

Yarn along: Hats & Cowls

Here I am again with the weekly Yarn along. This last week I finished a bunch of projects, so I’m pretty pleased with myself.

Yarn Along- and the Winner is…

Once again I’m linking up with Ginny’s yarn along. I’ve been making good progress on my bertrand louis cowl and am continuing to love the look of the stitches and the dimensionality that’s coming with the half brioche pattern. It feels wonderful too. I think I’m pretty close to done. I’m supposed to knit it … Continue reading →

iPhone Photography Resources

I have the iPhone 4, which has a 5 megapixel camera. The iPhone 4S has an 8 megapixel camera. 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 →
