Other than its ability to stream Netflix movies, I knew else nothing about Roku when I received it earlier this month. I avoided reading reviews and didn’t even browse the website so I could give a completely objective opinion. My first impression? Wow, this thing is tiny! I’m not sure what I expected… maybe something [...]

I’ve probably spent more $ in the iTunes store in the past 2 weeks than I did in the entire 2 years that I owned my iPod touch. There are just so many cool apps! I’m especially fond of photo-editing on the iPad… below are some photos and the apps that I used to modify [...]

iLove my iPad {review}
April 8, 2010 · by ·
Cheesy title, but it’s true. I received it on Saturday evening, and it’s hardly been put down since. First off, let me say that I’m a Mac girl. Always will be. I have an old iMac, a new-ish Macbook, and have owned a couple of different iPods. I’ve never bought anything on day one, though, [...]
Waiting for my iPad…
April 3, 2010 · by · 8 Comments
Updated at 5:25pm: UPS guy just delivered my iPad! He said he had never had so many people greet him at the door as he did today. It almost made him want to buy one of these “contraptions” to see what it’s all about. LOL! As I sit here waiting impatiently anxiously for UPS to [...]
iheartradio app
April 2, 2010 · by · 2 Comments
I remember, when I was a teenager, staying up late into the night listening to the radio. CDs were still fairly new and expensive, so sometimes I’d record my favorite songs onto a cassette tape. That changed once the price of buying music went down, and as my priorities changed. Once I bought an iPod [...]
SpinArt app for the iPhone/iPod touch

My 5-year-old has a new iPod touch. Well, it’s new to her. Her daddy bought her a used 1st generation one and we gave it to her last night. Since it’s the original model, it doesn’t have a built-in speaker, which I love! She’s not a fan of headphones, so she has to either play [...]

The iPad came along, though, and things might be changing. I want one. I do. BUT I have an iMac (which I rarely use). I have MacBook (which I use constantly). I have an iPod touch (which is always in my pocket or within reach). So I don’t need an iPad. But I want one. [...]
