apple time
Posted: January 31, 2013 Filed under: Girl Talk | Tags: apple, apple pie, cinnamon, dessert, Food, snack, sugar, yum 1 Comment »Ya know how apple pie is really delicious? I could probably eat apple pie every day. But sometimes, you have no apple pie.
For a night snack when we have no apple pie, we cut apples into chunks, and add in some cinnamon and sugar. Basically apple pie filling. So simple and so good.
Another good idea stolen by someone else
Posted: December 10, 2012 Filed under: Guy Talk | Tags: Android, apple, Baking, Cell Phone Case, cooking, iPad, iPhone Leave a comment »So this weekend while the Girl was baking up a storm, I had an idea that someone should be making phone and tablet accessories that protected people’s devices while they used them to look up recipes and cook in the kitchen! I had thought I was on to something because when I searched for the phrase “case for phone while cooking or baking” it returned limited results that appeared promising to me that I might have stumbled across an untapped market…
That is until I found www.chefsleeve.com which looks like they have a fairly good stranglehold on the cooking/baking protective cases for the iPad and iPhone. I have to admit that their cutting board with iPad holder is simple, yet ingenius…
Oh well! Maybe there’s still time for me to tap into the Android market…
pumpkin patch

Rasmussen Farms in Hood River, Oregon. It’s a real pumpkin patch. Where you have to walk yourself out into the field of pumpkins and pick one for yourself. When you find the perfect one, you check it over, clean the dirt off with spit, and then rip it off the vine. Its pure fall and happiness.
If I had my way, I would get married in the middle of the pumpkin patch. It has breathtaking scenery, and smells like fresh apples. Everyone would wear boots, and the bridesmaids would wear braids in their hair.
Touchless Camera Pulse Sensor…whaaat?

This is an example of why I love technology. I no long am using an iPhone so I can’t test this app, but it just goes to show the imagination that people have of how to leverage technology we have to do something different.
Cardiio is a Touchless Camera Pulse Sensor App for the iPhone that can apparently turn your phone into “an accurate, touch-free heart rate monitor.”. How awesome is that!? It uses the camera to measure to analyze the amount of light reflected off your face to measure your pulse without any physical hardware.
The things people do with technology still amazes me. If you want to see the review of the app for yourself, it’s in the app store here.
sending away some bits of love

It is like sending away little pieces of my heart. I seriously have a mild anxiety attack right before I put them in the mail.
