Facebook’s been doing some funny things lately. Except, they’re not so funny. First, they changed the link to add a Fan page from “Become a Fan” to “Like.” Facebook users are accustomed to clicking on a “like” when they “like” someone’s status update. It’s an easy way to acknowledge someone … Continue reading →

I have a confession. I’ve been reading on my iPad. Darnit. I have some paper books I need to make some progress on, but I’m enjoying reading on the iPad. What has tempted me to the backlit side? Kindle features free current Kindle editions, and some of them have looked … Continue reading →

I can hear my husband saying, “I told you so.” I downloaded a bunch of iTunesU files this afternoon, and free space on my 16G iPad shrank to 9G. The Apple Store guy told me I have 14 days to return it as long as I keep the box. I’m … Continue reading →
