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
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
App of the Week: RunKeeper
I am not a runner. On occasion I run, but it’s usually only to balance out repeated bad choices with food. And, when I run, it’s typically on a treadmill while watching something highly intellectual like Psych. I am actually trying to do that a little more frequently these days because my family is doing the Shamrock … Continue reading
Wait… something’s different
For those of you who’ve been viewing my site on an iPad, the site should look a little different now. I took away the special iPad view format with the “swipe” option. I’ve been playing around with the settings and menu options a bunch, but just can’t get it all to show correctly on the iPad view. … Continue reading
Look ma, no hands!
I wrote a post a few weeks ago about wirelessly transferring my photographs from my DSLR camera to Dropbox using an Eye-Fi card. At the time I thought it was a great idea but hadn’t used it for very long. I loved the concept of not having to hook my camera up to my computer, and then … Continue reading
App of the week: WordPress and BlogPress
I had never really blogged before this summer when my family and I went on a two week trip to Philadelphia and New York City. I decided that blogging about our trip would be a fun way to keep my parents and a few others in the loop about our travels, as well as an easy … Continue reading
