Lately, I have been trying out project ideas. I am kind of an odd bird when it comes to things that I have for hobbies, including sewing. I own my own sewing machine, in fact. It was a gift from my grandmother, Nan. She gave it to me when I started college. When I was young, after my parents’ divorce, I would spend my days with my Nan and Pop while my mom was at work. Great memories. Nan was a very skilled seamstress, and taught me the basics of using a sewing needle, and eventually I was promoted to using the machine as well.
As I said in my last post, this is all stems from an idea that I had when Verizon’s iPhone 4 came out, either last week or today depending on whether or not you are just joining their services. I thought it might be helpful to some new iPhone users to point out some of the apps that have been helpful to me over the past three years or so. Keep on mind that I am in no way an expert on the topic, just a casual user. Feel free to take or leave any opinion that I post here.
I have a number of friends who recently purchased a new iPhone 4 with Verizon Wireless (I think they may have dropped the word “wireless”). I’m sure a good number of people are simply switching to Verizon from AT&T and already owned an iPhone, but there are also a number of people who are completely new to the iPhone experience. I have decided to compile a list of apps that I like to use on a somewhat regular basis. I am not sure if this review/list will be helpful to anyone, but nonetheless, here goes…
Another cool item at the lodge from last weekend (Mohican State Park Lodge). It’s a solar powered trash compacting trash can. Why don’t we have more of these around?
Over the past weekend, I went on a retreat with our ResLife staff from MVNU. The lodge where we stayed had this on the wall in the lobby. It’s a touchless water bottle filling station. Seems like it would be more hygienic than a regular water fountain, and it provides for good conversation, too.
A few weeks ago, I purchased a skin for my iPhone 4 from Gelaskins.com. I read about their products in an article about iPhone accessories, I think it was from CNet (it may have been another source, I can’t find a link now). After reviewing hundreds of artwork options, I eventually settled on one featuring “The Great Wave,” a wood block print by Katsushika Hokusai.
