Website of the Day: More Cloth
I'm a total DIY freak, and appreciate websites that help me reach my crafting goals. Take my last DIY project: the charging station I made from an Ikea shelving unit. Now if I wanted to take that a step further, I could add some decorative fabric to the back panels and really make the shelf pop.
My Favorite Gadgets!
I would have to say the top gadgets in my house is the iPhone 3g and 3Gs. My husband has the 3G and I just got the new 3Gs and we both love them! I use it for seriously everything!Vintage Video Maker App Does Exactly What It Implies
All things old are new again as vintage gadgets and tech come back with a bang. Since you can already turn your iPhone photos into cool vintage-looking pics in more than a few ways, it's only natural that there would eventually be an iPhone 3GS app that turns your on-the-go videos into retro styled mini movies.
Called the Vintage Video Maker, this $3 app is worth its weight in fun — just capture your video within the app, or load one up that you've already shot, and choose between three old-timey styles: 20's movie, black and white, and 60's home video.
Website of the Day: Apostrophe Me
Sometimes I just like things explained simply, in good old-fashioned plain English. For instance, it was so liberating when the guys from Commoncraft talked about Twitter in layman's terms, and now with a website called Apostrophe Me, you'll never misuse apostrophes again, thanks to their cute and detailed flow chart. Other things worth checking out on the site?
Tech Dating 101: Do You Save Messages From Your Date?
One of the benefits of of digital technology is that every email, text, and voicemail is easily saved, stored, and relived. It's helpful when you're dating someone — I think it's both fun and cute to reread old messages. (Though I suppose this can get dicey when trying to cut your ex out of your digital life, but that's a topic for another day).
Facebook...I want to scream.
Alright, I am going to admit this right up front---I am probably one of the biggest Facebook noobs you have ever come into contact with.
I fought against the repeated temptations to join and then finally in May I did. Spent a fantastically insane amount of time building connections between my blogs and those I found on Facebook and at one point the connections to my FB page was bringing in new readers so much per day that I marveled at my stupidity in dragging my feet in creating a Facebook page.
Then it happened. My hard drive died last week, replaced it, spent several days trying to locate my bits-n-pieces...and then thought, "Gee I better check Facebook. It had been only 4 days since I last signed in----BUT----they deactivated my page and it reverted to the page and content that was on there the first day (first 24 hrs) that I created it. I lost ALL my friends/followers, ALL my content, ALL my links.......ok----everything!
Then the anger set in. When my hard-drive had died I had been relieved to know that all my content was elsewhere on the net and that all I had to do was go and collect it again. WRONG. Guess what?
There is no link on FACEBOOK for HELP...only more equally distraught and upset individuals who like myself just lost everything. Seriously...there is no official help from Facebook. In fact, people were so upset that they created new profiles with names like "Facebook AnswerURphone" or "Helpdesk Facebook" and "MIA Facebook Admin" then finally "Contact Facebookgoodluck" so at least I know that I was not the only one to be in this mess.
New Rob Interview with UK's Sunday Times
On a balmy autumn day in Vancouver, a young man is longing for a walk outside in the sunshine, and deciding against it. Far easier for him to stay in his hotel room, cocooned in five-star luxury with a mobile phone that has run out of charge, safe at least from the girls chanting his name outside. Robert Pattinson, 23 and from Barnes in southwest London, ought still to be one of Hollywood’s beautiful dreamers, moving up the ranks of movie acting, enjoying his American adventure, his guitar, his good looks.Hats off to Steve Jobs and the iPhone
Yesterday's iPhone craze and the days leading up to it were quite unique and amazing. Only Steve Jobs could pull of something of this magnitude. Back in the day we camped out for hours, even days, to get our hot little hands on a pair of Rolling Stones concert tickets, but a mobile phone?My Gadgets!

On September 2nd we got our full shipment of iFrogz cases, one in each color. The first thing I noticed is that the colors are WAY off of what they show on the website. Since we had the Red one previously I had a feeling what most of them would look like but a few were still a surprise.
