Genius. I don't use the word often, unless I'm being sarcastic. But seriously, I think it applies to the fellow who invented Phantom Glass. I love hearing Arlene Dickenson (of Dragon's Den and many other non-TV things fame) say that the country will be in good hands when she sees a young entrepreneur come on the show to present their product or business. That is exactly how I felt when I met with Richard Waters, the inventor of Phantom Glass. When Richard told me he was only 20 years old, ...

My iPad Loves the Belkin Ultimate Keyboard Case
If Paddington (my iPad) loves something, who am I to question it? I use my iPad all the time to keep track of scheduling, control my music, blog on-the-go, watch TV shows and movies, and access all those other great apps I installed. With all the different things I use my iPad for, Paddington usually switches between his many (many) cases and covers. Usually, but not lately. I am not making up the fact that the new Belkin Ultimate Keyboard has been lovingly enveloping my iPad since I received ...
Caseable iPad Custom Case Review
My iPad has been pretty happy lately—the new case from Caseable has sure made it look amazing. The case has a woodsy print on the outside with white inside and a little pocket for notes or other paper that you need to take with you. ...
ZAGGfolio iPad Keyboard Case Review
This ZAGGfolio case would've been an absolute life saver on my month long trip to the USA last September! A keyboard and case in one, the ZAGGfolio gently caresses and encases my iPad. Made of carbon fibre, and complete with a removable bluetooth keyboard, the ZAGGfolio allows you to carry your iPad along with a portable keyboard. This is the perfect combination for getting things done on the go. ...
DK Canada’s Story of the Titanic Multi-Touch Illustrated E-Book
DK Canada's newest illustrated e-book is a multi-touch wonder! The Story of the Titanic shares stories about the passengers and crew, photos, videos and so much more to make this interactive e-book, designed for the iPad fun, interesting and educational at the same time. With the 100th anniversary of the Titanic bringing up newfound interest in the story of the majestic ship, its sinking and the stories surrounding the passengers and survivors, this book couldn't have come at a better ...
If I Knew then what I Know Now—Learning Money with Leo RBC App #MoneywithLeo
One of the things that most sticks in my mind from my childhood, are episodes of TGIF shows where money was discussed with the children. Most importantly, I remember an episode where the mom's income was taken out in cash and the child saw how much there was—but then also saw how much went to each bill and expense, and how little was left over afterward. Money was the subject of many discussions in my childhood home—or rather, the subject of many arguments. I didn't have the chance to have ...
DK Canada Illustrated eBooks for iPad Feature
Finally—illustrated eBooks that are, in many ways, even better than paper books! Reference books like those from DK Canada will always have a place on my bookcase—up until now I didn't have an alternative. But, I really hope that DK continues to put out new illustrated eBooks, because I love their interactivity. I had a chance to check out 3 of the new illustrated eBooks: Dinosaurs and Prehistoric Life, Natural History Mammals Carnivores, Natural History Insects (click the links to download ...
Waterproof iPad2 Case DnD Distribution Review
I knew I wanted one even before I knew what I wanted to use it for—I absolutely love my iPad2. I want to use it every chance I get—but until now, I wasn't able to use it in the bathtub or sitting by a swimming pool. The waterproof locking case for iPad and iPad2 from DND Distribution securely locks on three sides so that no water is able to seep in. There is even a little cloth that comes with it so that you can test it out under water before putting your iPad in the case. The outside is made ...
DK Eyewitness NY iPad App Review
When you're travelling to more than one destination at a time, you really need to think about limiting the number of items you pack that will only be used for part of the trip. One thing that comes to mind is a travel guide used for just one destination of many. On our most recent trip to this USA, Greg and I went to 7 different states and over 12 different cities. Can you imagine how heavy and huge our suitcases would have been if we'd taken travel guides with us for each of those? It is ...
