Are You a Pack Rat?

I’ve noticed lately that I seem to save things that most people would simply throw out. I have software that dates back so far, it wouldn’t even install on any computers I currently own. Seriously – some of it is that old! I have cables and cords that won’t fit any plugs. I have clothing that went out of style more than a decade ago. It’s time to face it… I am a pack rat.

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!

These are a Few of My Favorite Things

I’m willing to bet that old song is now stuck in your head. If you’re too young to know and remember the song – well, you just missed out. Look it up on YouTube, and immerse yourself!

Son of a Beach


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

This is the most amazing iPhone App you could ever imagine. When you run it, the App simulates standing on a beach, with your feet buried in the sand. It’s so real, it’s almost scary!

Could all of Life’s Conveniences be Killing Us?

Reading this blog post on Geeks earlier stopped me dead in my tracks. I saw myself in what the author wrote, as I’m sure many of you will. He talks of how we have so many gadgets and gizmos to make our lives easier… and then wonders if it’s in fact making things more difficult:

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!

iPhone OS 3.0 Reviews and Opinions

Apple has officially released the next iPhone operating system. It feels like Christmas to some of us, given that this new version boasts the addition of several long-awaited features (including “copy and paste”). I asked my Twitter followers for their initial impressions, and they definitely responded! I used Twickie to collect the following replies.

What’s the Best iPod Speaker?


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

The music sounds great, doesn’t it? You’d never guess I’m listening to my iPhone, using external speakers, would you? The sound is very rich and deep. I was using Pandora to choose what to listen to, by the way. Those speakers kick, don’t they? The LiveSpeakrs were designed for the iPod or iPhone, but they’ll work with any device that has an audio out jack.

How to Charge Your iPhone


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

I would have liked to go to an event, but I had to stay home and charge my iPhone. Thankfully, there’s a new charger on the block, from the people at Griffin – the PowerBlock Reserve. I know you remember them, and the exceptional deals that they’ve given us recently. The response was so great that they’ve extended the offer! If you use coupon code pirillogo you’ll save 25% on your order!

Mother’s Day iPod


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

I was fortunate to have my mom with me during Mother’s Day this year. I gave her an iPod, which is kind of funny. Up until now, she’s never wanted one. She had no idea how they worked, nor if she’d ever use the thing. She took it into an Apple store with her, and explained she had no clue what to do. They talked in circles around her about syncing and such. She walked out more confused than when they started.

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

You may have an iPod, or may get one in the future. When you buy a new one, getting your data off the old one is a bit of a challenge. You could cry yourself to sleep at night, or use an easy solution to get the data off the old one!

How to Record Audio on an iPhone

What exactly is the best operating system? Is it Mac OS X? Is it Windows? Is it Linux? To answer that, I asked myself. Listen in as I argue with myself, and attempt to come to a concrete decision. Pretty cool the way I did that, isn’t it? I bet you wish you could make your voice do that! Well, you can if you have an iPhone!
