Goodnight iPad

Is the bird jumping over the moon supposed to be the bird from Twitter’s logo?

I’ve heard about research studies suggesting to unplug from gadgets 1 hour prior to bed to help clear your head of distractions and ease the falling to sleep process. Well, before you close your laptop tonight, watch this video.

This book might just be the best book for the technologically savvy iPad-toting parent who already knows what to expect when you’re expecting.

Is the iWood Laptop Wish List Worthy?

Now that Thanksgiving is over and Halloween costumes have (hopefully) already been picked out, it’s time to go shopping for gifts for the holiday season before the malls hit maximum capacity. 

For the youngsters on your list, you may want to consider buying an iWood laptop. Well, ‘laptop’ may not accurately reflect its true product description, but it sure looks like one. In the place of an LCD screen is a chalkboard and instead of a trackpad in the ‘keyboard’ area, there is a compartment to store pieces of chalk.

Chalkboards can offer a nice, creative aesthetic when aiming for laid back, eclectic or unique decor, so it only makes sense to let kids partake in the fun. Eight years old may be too young to appreciate owning an iPad, but for less than $60, the iWood laptop makes a great gift idea!

Quoted: Jeanne Beker

In the early eighties, I interviewed Timothy Leary for The New Music. I said “Dr. Leary, what do you see in your crystal ball for us in the future?”

He said in the future were all going to have to get really friendly with our computers.

I thought, “Friendly with a computer! What could be more sickening than that? That sounds like nerd time.”

Now I’m joined at the hip to my computer.
