The week that was

It’s been a solid week on the road for Chuck and me. We’ve been traveling since last Sunday, and got home late yesterday. We spent five days in Yuba City where Chuck was doing some training, then headed down to visit friends in Vacaville, then yesterday we went to San Francisco to check out MacWorld [...]

The wait is over. The iPad has landed.

I viewed/read the Gizmodo liveblog of the Apple event this morning announcing the (ta-da!) iPad. Now that the wait is over (well, for the announcement, at least – you’ll have to wait 60 days for the device to start shipping), it’s oddly, well, if not disappointing then not quite as magical as Steve Jobs claimed, [...]

Apple tablet, Apple tablet!! It’s coming!!

My inner Apple fangirl is about to burst out and take control of my body for the next 12 hours or so in anticipation of the big announcement coming from Apple tomorrow. Will it be a tablet? Will it be under $500? Will it be able to walk on water (okay, probably not that…)? I [...]

Ring of fire, & etc

Greetings from the inferno that is southern California! It’s hot, hot, hot here – but at least in Long Beach we aren’t choking on smoke and ash. Here are some awesome NASA pics of the fires from space, to give you some idea of the magnitude of the conflagration. It’s extra strange to be experiencing [...]

To upgrade or not to upgrade…

Apple announced the new iPhone 3GS this week, and good little Apple fangirl that I am, it made my heart go pitterpat. But once my heart rate returned to normal, reality set in (well, actually reality in the form of a $399 upgrade cost) and I decided to really take a look at what I’d [...]

iPhone app awesomeness: Night Camera

The camera on the iPhone is pretty weak in anything other than daylight, let’s be honest. No flash, 2.0 megapixels – it’s okay but good luck with the night shots. Want to beef it up? Try Night Camera. It works its magic by utilizing the accelerometer. And it’s only 99 cents! If you want to [...]

Now we’re talking innovation!

Apple Introduces Revolutionary New Laptop With No Keyboard

Holy..iPhone!

iBreviary: a new app for the iPhone, straight from the Vatican! It’s free, and offers prayers and stuff in Italian and English. This totally would make up for the fact that I downloaded Pull My Finger, right?

Apple fangirl blurt

I heart Apple!! I heart Apple!! I heart Apple!! I heart Apple!!

How lame am I? Oh, and can I has iLife and iWork 09 now, please?

But where is the new Mac Mini we heard so much about on the rumor sites? Ours heard those rumors about its being replaced and crapped out completely [...]

Nifty new apps for my iPhone

I am late to this but I have to say, Shazam is amazing! And free! I’m also really digging PageOnce; love the snapshot views of online accounts. Oh, and Allrecipes.com, if you like easy access to all sorts of meal ideas. And for vicarious enjoyment (for me), Snow Reports so I can see what the [...]
