I am ALWAYS, and I mean always talking about branding, branding, branding!! If you want people to know who you are, you need to make a name for yourself. And part of this is being recognized in everything that you do. I headed off to Blogher 2011 with my branding in tact. I had t-shirts,…

Last year the #1 item on my iPhone Accessories Gift Guide was the Mophie Juice Pack for iPhone 3G and 3Gs. When in Vegas for CES I stopped by the Mophie booth to talk about how much I loved my older juice pack. But I had since upgraded to an iPhone 4, so I could…
Last Wednesday I was getting out of my car at the local mall. My iPhone 3Gs slipped from my grasp and dropped hard in a HUGE rain puddle that completely covered it. The Mophie Juice Pack flew off, and it sat there for what seemed like an eternity although I’m sure it was more like…
So it was just 3 short days ago that my friend Sidney (@hystericalmom) after I IM’d her said something like “Angry Birds are pissing me off.” I was like “What?!?!”. After she told me that it was game I checked it out. I was instantly hooked. I stayed up late playing angry birds.. 2 nights…

I have been using the Mophie Juice Pack for around 2 months when I was sent a unit for review. I have had no issues out of it at all… until 2 days ago when I upgraded my iPhone 3Gs to iOS4 when it was released. Yesterday, when I actually needed to use the Mophie…
This morning I posted on Examiner.com how I was excitedly counting the minutes until the iOS4 update was released. The update was released at 12:oo pm central today. I had already backed up my phone which I swear took an hour, so a few minutes after 12 as soon as my iTunes said that iOS4…
