Like My New Graphic Image Leather iPad Case? Want to Win One for Yourself?

by Wendy Wick on July 25th, 2011

Last week I was showing off my elegant new handcrafted Crocodile Embossed iPad/iPad 2 case by Graphic Image and many of my fellow iPad 2 owners oogled in envy of my posh pink and personalized leather folio. I spent the weekend daydreaming about accessories that could be fashioned to match my new case and serve vital functions for my personal and professional needs like for instance, a matching Nook case (for the Color Nook I don’t yet have) or a ladies briefcase… all in pink crocodile embossed leather… you get the idea! Well, Graphic Image wants those ideas…

Graphic Image wants to know what accessories your imagination spawns. It doesn’t have to be pink crocodile, it just needs to be something that you need or want in a leather accessory that aligns to their current accessory line…your inspiration could win you an iPad case just like mine!

zBoost Brings the Bars (Cell Signal Bars!) into Your Home or Office…

by Wendy Wick on July 24th, 2011

Dependable phone service is a necessity for a home-office professional. It is just not acceptable to drop off in the middle of a teleconference or get disconnected during a net meeting just because your cell service is spotty. Even having the top floor apartment and putting my desk next to the outermost window, I still experienced dropped calls on occasion, more frequently on one of my carriers than the other. Dropped calls are even more prevalent when to work from my living room where my cell signal isn’t as consistently strong. Rather than invest in a home land line and another monthly expense, I decided to try the Wi-Ex Zboost Cell Phone Signal Extender and was impressed to find that my AT&T service was consistently more dependable and consistently had more bars.

The Eton Rover… A Self-Powered Device You Didn’t Know You Needed…

by Wendy Wick on July 17th, 2011

The Eton American Red Cross Rover, part of Eton’s TurboDyne Series of products that uses Hand Turbine Technology to power devices is a self powered tool which uses hand turbine technology to produce energy. This model is an AM/FM/NOAA Weather Radio with Flashlight and USB Cell Phone Charger. It is easy to use, durable and utterly necessary for home and car. This little device only needs a few hand cranks to power on the flashlight and radio in an emergency and to charge your cell phone enough that you can call for help. I like the white LED light source and the direct USB power transfer. It has a telescopic antenna to ensure maximum range of radio reception and a headphone jack. At less than 8 inches long and 13 ounces, it easily stores in a kitchen drawer, a utility cabinet, in a vehicle’s glove compartment, the side pocket of a dive bag….you get the idea.

When the Girls are Away, the Little Boys Play (on their HP TouchSmart PC!)

by Wendy Wick on July 16th, 2011

Maya went off to school today with the usual peck on the check for mommy and ominous but sweetly delivered warning to her younger brother…”Don’t touch my stuff!” As if words are going to make a difference to a 3 year old boy with a goal…which in Elijah’s case is to collect all the wireless mousse in the house (they look just like Zhu-Zhu Pets!) and play on Maya’s new PC!

He slips his little pajama’d butt into the desk chair and clicks all the powered-on mice buttons to see what will happen. The HP TouchSmart 310 PC doesn’t mind. Then he ever so sweet calls over his shoulder, “Mommy, I wanna pop the bubbles…” How can I say ‘no’? He wants to play Bubble Wrap, a simple but genius and highly addictive touch app on the HP in which you see how many bubbles on the wrap sheet you can pop in a given time. Who doesn’t love to pop bubble wrap? Continue Reading…

Kids Can Touch…the HP TouchSmart 310 PC

by Wendy Wick on July 13th, 2011

The HP TouchSmart 310 PC with HP TouchSmart 4.0 software gets today’s kids who are growing up with smart phones and tablets at home and Prometheus boards in the classroom. They get touch navigation and multimedia, mult-tasking, multi-everything with ease. Young kids drink in the universe through their senses and HP Touchsmart is an ideal feeding ground for them at home and in school. I knew I was going to love this computer for my children who are ‘different’ learners and I was fairly certain that they were going to master it with ease, but I did not expect to get sucked into TouchSmart 4.0 myself. I honestly can not get over how much I enjoy using this computer! This from a PC-for-work, Mac-for-pleasure girl… Continue Reading…
