Painting LuLu review

Meet Lulu is where classic coloring books meet the digital age. Your child can color in the book on the go and scan the image code later to have fun again and again in the digital app. Each book comes with a digital crayon, which is a crayon shaped stylus

They come in all different colors and are randomly selected in each package. You can get the book and crayon for $9.99 or extra crayons for $6.99 each.

Weight Gurus Smartphone Connected Digital Bathroom Scale

With smartphones being so prevalent in society a scale that can talk to our phones in a world of apps is one of the best ideas in a long time. With the app we can tell our ups and downs and not have to think " What was I before again?" The app is simple to use and each time you weigh you just scan in the jumbled screen and it adds a weigh in to your history 

I love my weight gurus scale and all the things it can do. 

Here is a little bit about the scale.

 Rhyme to Read is a highly effective program for beginning readers. The program emphasizes word families (e.g., cat, rat, sat) which are color-coded to assist children in discriminating the different patterns. The only prerequisites are the recognition of letters and knowledge of consonant letter-sound connections. Rhyme to Read enables children to feel confident as they enter the world of reading. Emilee at Pea of Sweetness uses it with their three children - their preschooler who was just recently introduced to reading and their 6 and 8 year old who are both homeschooled in the 2nd grade level except in reading.

HOT or NOT review

My thoughts are my own and not influenced by others.

I don't know if you remember using Hot or Not when younger, but I do. Hot or Not was site you uploaded pictures of yourself and people answer if they think your hot or not as the name applies. In the past (2007) it was used by mostly by the younger generation and could create a esteem boost for someone that might not feel their looks were up to par. I was about 18 when I started to use the site. If you haven't been on the site for awhile they have had some new features added that I think you will like!

In the past it was simply a rating site but over time it has evolved into a sort of dating service. If you click that you think someone is hot and they do the same for you the app (we'll get to that in a bit.) will notify both parties that a match has been made. In that case you can choose to meet and it may end up being a real life love connection. 

They now offer an app for iPhone and Android and you can create a login from the app (don't you love when you don't need a pc?) and upload pictures. Before photos are uploaded you can surf through profiles from users close to you but can't select hot until you add photos of your own.

 It shows one of their pictures and their score, friends you may share, and interests. You can link the Hot or Not app to your facebook to be able to find the friends in common. The circle with 4 squares takes you to a view to see thumbnails of all the pictures of that profile 

You can drag from the bottom for more information. It gives interest/ about me/more shared friends details/ location details/ and the setting saying if they are on or offline currently (can be turned off in privacy) will all be listed here.

When adding your own picture you have to click the 3 lines in the left to get the menu to appear. If you connect your facebook from the get go your profile images appear.  If you did like me and signed up through email first then you get this screen.

I like that you can add from facebook even if you didn't link it when you first signed up. The thing is I accidentally imported every picture I was ever tagged in (be careful!) If you do like me and accidentally upload pictures you don't want on there you can delete them.

Hot or Not has now become a great tool for meeting others in your area! You can also just rate pictures for the fun of it with no strings attached and still use it for a ego booster. This site isn't just for the 20 year olds they have members of all ages!

Codigo cube Review

Welcome to the Codigo Cube the game you can play everywhere until your phone dies. When I first heard about this game I wondered why it had taken so long for something to have been created. The QR code has been popular for the last several years and this is the obviousness next step in our nerdiness. 

Facebook for iPhone review.

I think its funny that when you go to the site on your phone browser that it tells you to download the app for a better faster experience.

Android application fail

So I put my heart last night into creating a crochet application for pictures of crazy crochet. I got the app all set up and tested and went to get it put into the android market to see that now thy charge to submit applications. If it was an app I was going to get paid for I could see paying for it but a free app? I don't think so. So I'm back to the drawling board looking at doing it for the open app market where it's free to publish. I tried to use the one I already set up but duh it doesn't work for web app because it's a different format. So tonight im looking at ways of how I create a html5 application. Wish me luck I've never tried programming before.
