There are so many awesome things about going to a conference like BlissDom Canada, but there is one drawback… mobile devices with dead batteries and laptops that need power.
Remember almost a year ago when I painstakingly explained how to properly run a Facebook contest?
Forget everything I said.
Facebook has again changed its promotion & guideline rules, effectively turning upside down what everyone has dutifully done on the Facebook pages for quite a while now.
Whether you’re a sports enthusiast, a firefighter, someone who travels by motorbike or a pro athlete, using a helmet cam is an option that can be incredibly useful in many ways.
The popularity of helmet cams is on the rise, with a wide range of models available at affordable prices, videos from helmet cams are popping up on Youtube and Vimeo more and more.

School’s out for summer, but that doesn’t mean kids have to stop learning. (This is where my kids start frowning at me and say that I am evil)
What I love about apps is that there are so many awesome ones now that capture kids’ imagination while actually teaching them something at the same time. Truth be told, I’m one of those grown ups that secretly “plays” on some of my kids’ apps to sharpen my little grey cells. Can’t let the kids get ahead of me in the brain game, but they usually are!
Last week I was introduced to a very cool new photo app called “Days.” Days is a visual diary app — something that you can use to share moments in your day.
According to their description on iTunes, “Days is the most natural, authentic, and casual way to capture and share your life. Keep your days private or share them with friends and family.”
Police in BC are trying to make a change in the laws regarding drivers and the use of hand-held electronic devices. Right now, if you are caught, you will be fined $167—the police want that to change so that fines for a first offense are increased, then the second time you get caught, you lose your cell phone for 24 hours. Get caught again and lose it for five days.
Would that make us all think twice about picking up the phone while we are driving?
I’ve said it before, Instagram is one of my favourite photography apps. It’s safe to say I love it, and judging from my Instagram profile page, it ranks right up there with Pinterest on the GigaMom addiction scale.
There’s a song in my head today. It’s an old song—about 20 years old, and it’s called “The Bug.” Two lines of this song, in particular, have been repeating in my techy brain for the past several hours.
Sometimes you’re the windshield, Sometimes you’re the bug.
That pretty much sums up my day tech-wise yesterday. The tech gods were not smiling upon me and I ended up feeling like the smushed bug on a windshield.
First of all Pinterest, before I start talking about how awesome you are, I need to apologize. You see, YOU were going to be my very first GigaMom post—the debut, the beginning, the new chapter. Yes.
