The girls share my husband’s old iPad, which lives in an iGuy protective case, and is filled with fun and educational apps. Georgie is very creative lately and has some great drawing apps, as well as other silly apps that end up with the ability to save something to the camera roll. Both Georgie and …
Any geeky apple fan will know that Apple are currently holding their 2014 Worldwide Developers Conference. It kicked off yesterday with their opening keynote, the highlight of the conference for those of us interested in the future of iOS – the operating system that iPhones & iPads run on. Basically, on Monday Apple gave everyone …
What ‘type’ of typer are you? That is the question Microsoft are trying to help people answer with their #GBTypeOff tour… You can take their handy quiz online, or visit them at one of their tour locations to take a look at their different keyboards, chat to them about the wonders of typing, and find …
I love to comment on other blogs as much as I can, as the blogging community is a fab place to be. I know how much I enjoy having people comment on my posts to tell me what they think, and so I’m resolving to comment more on blogs when I read them. A lot …
Georgie loves to play on the iPad and it is really great as an educational tool too. At the moment, she is really into all of the Sago Sago apps, which are full of bright colours and fun. They are all universal apps, meaning that they work both on your iPhone/iPod touch, and your iPad.
We were sent a Sony Xperia Z to try out for a few weeks, and in the interest of a proper trial, I swapped the micro-sim from my iPhone and popped it into the Sony, before tucking my iPhone away in the drawer, where it stayed for 95% of the time.
My first impressions of the phone were that it seemed really nice; sleek, shiny, and of good quality. It comes with a micro-USB cable and a neat little plug for charging, with the third prong slotting into place when in use, and tucking out of the way when you want to slip it into your bag.
When I was told about this keyboard, I was very intrigued. In my head, water and electronics should never mix, but a history of sticky keys and crumbs between my letters had me thinking it was a great idea.
I’ve never been one for following the “don’t eat or drink at the computer” rules, and anyone who knows me can testify that I’m the clumsy type. Previously I have pretty much destroyed a few keyboards by making them rather unpleasant to use, with sticky coke and coffee drips, let alone the ketchup (from sausage & egg sandwiches) and other food debris. Georgie has definitely inherited my lack of co-ordination, probably not helped by the fact James is about as bad as me! As she gets older and begins to use computers more, I can see that a washable keyboard is a very good idea indeed.
With a toddler in the house, it’s important to have a case that can protect your phone from drops and bangs. The Otterbox Commuter case is a fairly slimline case which attempts to make the compromise between a high level of protection without adding too much bulk. Unfortunately, the result isn’t quite as good as it could be…
Just a quick post to say thank you to whomever has nominated Mama Geek for Most Innovative Blog in the 2013 MAD Blog Awards! I am honoured to have been nominated and so pleased that someone thinks that my blog is interesting enough to be nominated for this particular category. I try to make my …
There is nothing quite as annoying as seeing a great feature on a blog and wishing that you knew how to add it to your own, but not having the faintest idea how. So this is me, sharing my favourite WordPress plugins for self-hosted (aka WordPress.org) sites, so that you know just how I made …
