Web thing 21 : free for all: the weather channel

I love this app. My daughter told me about it when I first got my iPad. I always use it to look up the weathering Minneapolis but also to whatever city I am going to travel to. Right now my husband is in India and while we are freezing in Minnestoa, I can see whether he is enjoying 80's or90's. I think I use this app almost daily. I just told my brother in Ohio about it since he just bought himself an iPad, too.

I downloaded word spill..oh, no! I can see this becoming addictive!  I like to play Quix up also but am glad to have another game on my iPad.

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.

Webthing 2

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.
