Have you ever wondered exactly what goes on inside your camera after you snap a photo? Or do you want to know the benefit of having a faster memory card for your camera? Fast memory cards can save a lot of time. The photos save faster so you can move on to your next shot…
I am always talking about how important it is to have a great bag when attending conferences and such. The wrong bag is well… bad! Shoulder bags and computers and walking around all day don’t mix. You will end up with a sore shoulder. And another thing that I preach is having portable power. You do…
I was an iPhone owner before it was cool to be an iPhone owner. I had one back before they were released to the public. And I thought nothing of it at the time. My job was lucky enough to get in the beta testing program, so I had an original iPhone back when they,…
Sony Playstation has joined the ranks of some other companies and launched a mom blogger program designed to bring more awareness to the good versus bad benefits of gaming for families. I am a big advocate of the newer games. Games used to be bad, bad, bad. We sat on the couch for hours and ended up…
Have you ever had a computer that sounds like an airplane gearing up for lift off? I have had an couple. My current one is my HP DV7-2180US. I purchased this laptop in July of 09, but the specs can still stand up against most new laptops out there today. It was not cheap either….
Believe it or not, I know someone who still has an original Motorola Razr. Those phones were first released in 2004. It is almost unheard of that someone would hold on to a cell phone that long… THAT STILL FUNCTIONS! I think that says a lot about the workmanship of the phone. Motorola should be…
I am a total camera junkie. I love taking photos and I love shooting video. Since the invention of digital cameras I have loved that I can just take as many photos as I want or shoot as much video as I want and I am not wasting film! It is great. This is especially…
I love a good mouse! They are a must. Even though I used a laptop 80% of the time I still use an external mouse. I have tried out quite a few and they just keep getting better and better. My new favorite is the Microsoft Touch Mouse. The Microsoft Touch Mouse is unique in…
The GameChanger is as awesome gift idea. It is a dock accessory that plugs into any iPad. The GameChanger interfaces with the original iPad or iPad 2 via the sync port and turns it into an interactive board game. How does it work? You simply download the Gamechanger app to your iPad. Then plug the…
Are you getting your tween or teen their first Smartphone for Christmas? Are you worried about just how much they can do with it? Are you worried about who they will talk to? Or who they can text? Most parents are. You don’t want the bill to get out of hand. But more importantly you…
It’s no secret that I do NOT like exercise. So, any device that makes me feel like I am doing something by just walking around has my vote. I first learned of the Striiv at Blogher. It’s a pedometer on steroids! It was just released a few weeks ago to a lot of buzz including…
If a smartphone is on your Christmas list for yourself or a family member, take a good look at the HTC Radar. This is an awesome Windows Phone. It runs Windows 7.5 which is a solid smartphone OS. The meat and potatoes of the Windows Phone OS is the People Hub. This is an awesome…

As we all gear up for holiday shopping, chances are that a new smartphone is on the list for someone in your family. And with the decision to make that purchase comes more questions. Do I get a plan? What type of phone do I get? Do they need a text plan? There are several…

Yes, you read that right!! As part of the Verizon Midwest Moms program I am offering you a chance to win the new Motorola Droid Razr. Remember the original Razr? It was the sleek form factor that got people so interested in the phone. It was a flip phone, but it was very thin and…
I have been talking about how it was *almost* November for a couple of weeks. Well here it is. It is officially November. Christmas is next month. And as I have already mentioned, tech items are at the top of the Christmas list. But how do you know what to get? There are some best…
I just heard on the news this morning that 70% of cell phone users still do not have smartphones. That is a huge number and hard to believe. When I am out roaming I swear everyone around me is using an iPhone, an Android phone, or a Blackberry. But, apparently we are in the minority….
My kids love to play with my iPad. But, of course I don’t like to leave them alone with such an expensive gadget. Giving a child the LeapFrog LeapPad is like giving them their very own iPad! My kids already have Leapster units, so we were familiar with the great quality of LeapFrog. My girls have original…
Many, many people have invested in tablet computers. It might be an Original iPad, iPad 2, Motorola Xoom, Samsung Galaxy, or even HP TouchPad that you caught during the $99 fire sale. Companies watch the wire and jump right on creating accessories to beef up the functionality of our tablets. What some people do not…
I mentioned in the last post that I had an Atari 2600. Well, I actually just dug it out from under the guest room bed and hooked it up this past weekend! AND IT WORKS!! There are a few games that I have had to blow in (remember that) to make it work, but for…
Siri was one of the headline announcements at the iPhone 4S launch. Tagged as a virtual personal assistant, the feature uses voice recognition software to integrate with the smartphone’s apps. Siri interacts with a wide range of the iPhone 4S apps, allowing the user to use their voice to send messages and arrange meetings, to make phone…
Some of you may know that I LOVE photography. I call myself an amateur pro. HA! What does that mean? That means that I LOVE to take photos, and I do make some money from it sometimes. But, I don’t have the time that I would live to dedicate to consider myself a full pro. If I…
So as you already know I got a Motorola Xoom a while ago as part of the Verizon Wireless Midwest Mom Blogger program. And later I also received a Motorola Droid Bionic which is a 4G LTE device. We were also allowed to send out Xoom’s in for a 4G LTE upgrade. I got great…
I am finally free from my wires!! No more snatching my earbuds out of my ear when I turn at my desk. I previously reviewed a Motorola S10-HD Bluetooth headset a while ago. And while the sound and function was great, it was not all that comfy. At least not for my head. Since then…
It is already October. Its hard to believe but it is already time to think about Christmas shopping. I’ve been thinking about my list already. Once again I am determined not to wait until the last minute. Around now I start paying attention to my kids when they mention things that they want from commercials….
As part of my participation in the Verizon Midwest Moms, I was given a Xoom tablet. I also received a shiny, sharp Droid Bionic! The Bionic was released just 1 month ago to rave reviews. I have been using it about 2 weeks and so far everything is A OK. I happily passed on my…
The world is still mourning the death of Steve Jobs. Many are wondering what affect it will have on Apple. Sure… Apple will certainly live on. But, Steve was the master of ceremonies. He was the man behind it all. There has been a lot of talk in the news about what this means for…
