iPhone Killer

Posted on August 12th, 2010 by admin

I am so tired of hearing about the next silver bullet in the gun that will kill the iPhone. Every bullet up to this point has been more of a blank. The Droid has started to get some attention, but the iPhone still gets more attention, and now it’s the Blackberry Torch. iPhone killer? I’ll believe it when I see it.

Star Wars video game history

Posted on June 23rd, 2010 by admin

Holy Cow, I had forgotten about these. The Star Wars franchise has led to more video games than any other franchise. I remember owning an Atari 2600 and wanting this first video game real bad. It was nothing more than the AT-AT battle on Hoth where you control a snowspeeder. As you can tell from the graphics it was very rudimentary, but I was 6 at the time and didn’t care.

Nikon COOLPIX S60

Posted on March 15th, 2010 by admin

Right before we left for our Disney vacation last year – I’m talking the DAY before, I went out and bought Lisa the Nikon COOLPIX S60 and she has been in heaven ever since.

The pictures it takes come out nice. The touch screen makes it fun to use. If you’re looking a photo on the screen and turn the camera sideways, the photo moves too! The stylus allows you to write on the photos, so you an add fun captions and thought bubbles.

My favorite aspect? You can take panoramic view pictures!!! How? Just take separate photos, upload the photos to your computer and the camera’s software pieces the photos together to make one complete picture!

VTech KidiZoom Camera

Posted on February 4th, 2010 by admin

Speaking of cameras – I think this would be a good one for all 3 kids to share. Did I just say ’3 kids share’???  Hahaaaa

The cool thing is that a USB port and cable connects the Kidizoom to a PC for viewing & editing photos, or photo printing.
