We have covered Zinio with it’s readily available list of magazines you can read on the iPad. While they are electronic image versions of the print magazine, they are nice for saving a tree and getting quickly without postal delivery damage. For a most ‘interactive’ approach, we covered our move to the Newsstand version of [...]
Sitting in traffic may appear to be a good time to pick up the iPad and do some browsing, for fun and work. But, it isn’t really a good idea to take your eyes off the road even when at a stand still on the road in traffic. Luckily, the iPad can now help you [...]
Oh, the fun of the old classic instruments of the 50′s! Today’s post is from the group of coworkers that love the retro look and feel. They talk about Mad Men over Monday morning coffee, they dress with classic colorful box designs, they have interesting lamps and while they couches look cool and are great [...]

A few early adopters changed everything by taking a whole new look at the physical world and didn’t just reproduce actions we did with [...]
It was interesting to see all the talk today about Apple updating their Cards app. The app is for making cards that Apple then prints and mails for you, just like you can do with iPhoto on your Mac notebook/desktop. Like the desktop version, you create the cards using Apple’s templates, using your photos. You [...]
We covered Griffin Technology’s HELO Helicopter over the holidays at the end of 2011. We had a few different iPad controlled helicopters buzzing around the office. Bouncing into the walls as well as each other. The Griffin Tech HELO was a lot of fun as it was very nimble. Last week, we found that Griffin [...]
