I am seriously considering vlogging, because let’s face it it’s pretty cool to be able to watch an occasional video. I have tried a video app with my iPhone (I have the very first iPhone invented) but haven’t been so impressed with it that I used it more than once. I have also considered for [...]

Where to Find Cheap DVDs for Kids
If you remember way back in March of 2010, I broke up with Dish Network and went completely to DVDs for our television entertainment. I didn’t miss it like I worried that I would and my daughter seemed fine as long as we rented or picked up her favorite shows once in a while. I [...]

Qik Video Camera App: The 99 Cent Camcorder
My daughter has a piano recital tomorrow and I was thinking about asking my sister in law to use her video camera. Instead, my friend suggested I use an app for my phone called ivideo. When searching for the ivideo app, I came across Qik Video Camera which happened to be on “sale” from 1.99 [...]
