Shelf Magazine first issue is TODAY!!

Shelf Unbound, the literary magazine I am the kid contributor for, is printing releasing their digital magazine TODAY! The cool thing about the iPad is that a lot of magazines are now on the iPad. So, instead of going to the bookstore and buying a copy (gas, time, wasting paper) you can download an issue RIGHT NOW and ta-da!~ presto: you can start reading. I really want to read about the creepy doll in the photo above. Really. Yeah, I’m not really into skateboarding, but the photos are neat. I do like the ice cream photo and story (it it [ ... ]

Dragon says: no text and drive- speak instead.

Dragon Dictation is an app for FREE you can get and instead of typing it records your message and TYPES it for you. They said it is 5x faster than typing. And safer than texting while driving (if ur a teen or college iPad Kid who has a driver’s license) so be a Dragon and save ur life. Did we mention FREE? With Dragon Dictation you can also dictate status updates directly to your Social Networking applications (Facebook and Twitter) or send notes and reminders to yourself….all using your voice.  So when you’re on-the-go, stop typing [ ... ]

iPad Kids unite!!

The other day I finally got to see Julia and Nico again lol. I hadn’t seen Julia for a few weeks and I hadn’t seen Nico since I got my iPad. It was great because we iPad Kids do most of our work and communication stuff over the internet (because we’re super-cool-tech-savvy people like that) so we don’t get to actually see each other that often. It just goes to show that no matter how awesome the iPad and other techy things are, you can never really replace good old humans haha. So we got to just sit and talk [ ... ]

Make ur own funky stylus for iPad

We think this guy Collin is brilliant! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YE8rGuLCtU&feature=player_embedded source/ credit: http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2010… Fingertip input is great for most touchscreen usage like typing, web-browsing – all sorts of virtual button-pushing tasks. But for many people, drawing remains an activity best approached with a pen, pencil, brush, etc. With a bit of conductive foam and wire, it’s surprisingly easy to make your own conductive stylus, suitable for use with iPhone, iPad and similar conductive touchscreen devices – and you’ll likely find it a lot more precise compared to regular fingertip input.

There was no iPad in 1999… or was there?? Felicity knows.

Check out this video: “It’s impossible to know what computer to get,” she lamented. “There’s PCs, there’s iMacs, there’s Think Books, there’s iPads… I really don’t know where to start.” This TV clip/quote wouldn’t be so amazing would it? I mean it is confusing-what computer to get? iPad or no? But it is that amazing because… it’s from 1999!!! This TV show was called “Felicity” and it was about a girl that followed a guy to college (lame, right? Don’t do that kids lol). This episode was in season two, and the girl that was talking was a guest star: her name is [ ... ]

iHomework… do I really want to think of this yet??

The answer: no. No I do not. Buuuuuuut… I have to-there are only 17 days left until school starts again (summer went by so quickly!!) and it’s probably about time to get all of my summer reading and summer math packets done. You know, get into the “school mode” I guess. This app can help! It’s actually really neat-the app opens and it looks like a little planner thing. It has five tabs down the side (one is on the left-that’s the one you’re open to. and there are four down the right side). To switch between tabs just click on [ ... ]

Buy magazines on the iPad? They cost more. It’s worth it.

The iPad is destined to take over gaming such as NintendoDS, eBooks (goodbye Kindle), and now people are reading magazines on the iPad. World Domination or will we all keep duplicates…magazines, nintendos, Kindle readers??? Instead of  buying Sports Illustrated from your local Barnes and Noble you can download a digital issue on the iPad. I is fast, easy, and the digital version has special effects. You can click pages and get more in depth info. Or in Fortune Magazine’s issue they have a article called “Is Google Dead” and the Google logo melts into a puddle of mush. Girl’s Life is [ ... ]

No, Human. The Universe shall not be colonized. RAWR

Once in space, the human said: “We will colonize you, Universe!”
