Tiny Tip – Trackpad for iOS
One of my favorite sports is trying to point out where geek friends of mine made a mistake or perhaps didn’t know something I knew about. I know, it’s childish but I really truly enjoy it.

Three iPad Apps to Entertain a Toddler
I remember when we had little kids, we just didn’t have nice stuff. What was the point, right? Everything was going to be covered in jelly and thrown around without discrimination.
