BeBot!


Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed

Is this not the cutest thing ever? BeBot is a Robot Voice Synthesizer. Everyone needs one of these, I’m telling you. Not only is it probably one of the better synth apps out there, the cute little robot graphics are just awesome. The App designer, Robert, knew that he had to go a step further before releasing his Synth App – so he enlisted a graphic designer to help.

I know that after watching this video, you’re probably as hungry as I am. Who doesn’t love a good BBQ? I personally love to have ribs slow-cooked on the grill all day long. Steaks and chops are right up there as favorites, as well. What do you like to cook out on the Barbeque when you have the chance? And, more importantly, what do you like to cook on the BBQ on your iPhone?

Air Hockey!

I was in the middle of getting my tail kicked on this game when I recorded this game. This is an air hockey game for the iPhone. It’s addictive – even if I’m not any good at it! There are several different air hockey games available, so take your pick. You can play them against the computer, or against friends.

How to Enjoy Your iPod / iPhone without Holding It


Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed

It’s time to let go! Actually, it’s time to put your iPhone (or iPod) In Your Face. Sure, you could keep holding your iPhone and give your fingers cramps. Or, you can grab yourself an In Your Face viewcase, and free those fingers up for other things – such as drumming on your desk!

Apple’s Mac OS X Snow Leopard Review


Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed

I’m sure you’re still laughing at my impression of a Snow Leopard, in honor of the newest release of Mac OS X. The upgrade is only $30.00, which is an excellent price. You should go out and get it right away, but I’m not sure if you’re ready to install it just yet.

Quick iPhone OS 3.0 Review


Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed

I love my iPhone, that’s true. You might remember that I didn’t want to get the iPhone back when it first came out. I’ve eaten mountains of crow since that time, and have now accepted the iPhone into my life as my personal digital savior! iPhone OS 3.0 was recently released, and of course I’ve already upgraded. Is the upgrade worth it? Absolutely! There are so many features (some not even documented) are sitting under the interface!

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed

While my new iPhone 3G S was syncing for the first time, I decided to talk to all of you about protecting your device. Why do you need protection? What if you drop the phone? I’ve done it countless times – it’s easy to do! Having a good cover or case can cut down on any damage the phone or device may have received.

Unboxing the iPhone 3G S


Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed

A couple of years ago I sat at my desk claiming I’d never buy an iPhone on the first day. I thought my then-current phone was fine, and did everything I wanted it to. Not long after that, I recanted and started to use an iPhone. I’ve never looked back, and won’t GO back. My iPhones have done so much more than I could have ever asked for or expected from a phone, which is why I’m so excited about my new iPhone 3GS!!
