All Dressed Up

Treat your new e-reader to a new cover!

During the last podcast, we chatted briefly about Kindle books for Catholic Moms.  A lot of you are sporting new e-reading devices: Kindles, Nooks and iPads.  By now, you’ve had time to fall in love with your new tool and to discover a few great new books.  You’re likely carrying her (yes, she’s a “her”) in your purse or diaper bag so that you’ll have your reading available any time.

So why not treat... READ MORE 


Apple - Moral Police?

Do you trust a company to provide a "porn free" environment for your family?

An article this week on Catholic Online caught my eye.  The title splashed across the page read, “Steve Jobs says ‘No Porn’ for iPhone and iPad Apps”.  It went on to detail recent statements by Steve Jobs confirming that Apple is actively seeking to keep its iTunes Store a place that will offer “freedom from porn”.

Since I don’t own an iPad (yet…), I am unable to give you a thorough review of the product, but on paper it looks like a winner.  Here are some of the... READ MORE 


Send It Over, Steve

I'm volunteering to review the new iPad

Dear Mr. Jobs,

I know you’re likely getting a lot of fan mail today, what with the release of your new iPad and all.  You likely have all kinds of folks falling over themselves to tell you how much they love the new gadget you Apple guys shared with the world today… its sleek curves, its many features, its reasonable (well, for some…) pricing…

Well you can put my letter on the top of the pile.  You... READ MORE
