Thing5: notetaking

I downloaded Remember the Milk. I didn't think that it was very intuitive but I did add tasks to it. Honestly, I use outlook so much at work that I 'm not really sure that I will use this much..I really use paper lists quite a lot. It is interesting to see the various note apps available but this is one category that I don't think I'll use much.

I watched the iOS iPad overview. I learned a couple of things about the media center and will probably pay more attention to the daily full page notifications. But the bit about the camera now having an HDR feature...excuse me, but does everyone but me know what that stands for? I would rather go to my local Apple store and get an update class in person.

Webthing 9: taking and editing photos

I downloaded ColorSplurge shortly afterthewebinar in December. I scanned an old black and white photo of my brother and I when we were kids and using ColorSplurge, added color to our clothes.i posted the photo on my Facebbok page and gotlotsof likes!it was fun to play with

Webthing 3:Utilities

I downloaded I home sleep. The zen sounds sounded like they would be relaxing but I would have to pay for that. I was showing this app to my daughter who uses Sleeptime on her phone. I didn't find that for my iPad but I did find Sleep Pillow..it was also a free app. I think it looks a little easier to use than the ihome app. It gave me a choice of a few sounds to fall asleep with by a timer. I liked the storm sounds and so I 'm going to try that tonight. I usually fall asleep to MPR news but if the stories are disturbing, I turn it off. This will be a nice alternative. I am also going to try their alarm tomorrow morning.

Thing 4: keepingup

I downloaded the apps Flipboard as well as Zite. I have been using Flipboard since December when I learned about it on the webinar. I look at it almost every evening. I don't watch t.v. And only listen to public radio so it is a good way to get more news for the day. I just downloaded Zite tonight. I really like it. It seems a little easier to narrow down the topic that I want to look at. I selected several topics at first. Once the stories starting appearing it told me that I could tap on the heart icon on an article and it would feed me similar articles.  I tapped on a story about budgets. I thought that I would get more stories on personal budgets but it was not so precise..I got several stories on international and corporate budgets. Oh we'll, I still like the app and will probably look at it fairly frequently.
