iPad luv

Image via WikipediaThis is a great article on all things fab about the Ipad. Here By David Chartier at Macworld

Just one thing to add is that both for the iPad and iPhone the Google app and Dragon Dictation make use of voice recognition - one for searching and one for text entry are excellent.

Once more I just love the iPad - when i can get it from my husband......

Tomorrow; when the war began

... saw this at the weekend and it's a great movie, starts off a bit like an advert for tourism Australia ( but then all Aussie movies are a bit like that) and ends up like a pilot for a series - which it is as these are 7 books in all by John Marsden based around the group of school kids turned guerilla fighters.

But what got me was the scene of 7 Aussie kids out camping sharing a jar of Vegemite. They were handing round the jar and eating spoonfuls right out the jar. I mean urghghhhhh.

I don't mind the odd scrape of the 'mite, on toast or with avocado.... But on a spoon from the jar - that's just too Australian!

Great site, and a very clever iPhone application - So I am writing reviews for places I am eating at, identifying if its in the 2010 Entertainment Book. So see the widget opposite..... or the site

And the best Contagious event....

Was very oddly the movie we nearly missed. Arriving at Village Cinema we were directed to Cinema screen 6 - and there were 3 lovely young ladies offering choc tops, popcorn and soft drinks - which we very happily helped ourselves too. In we went and we settled into our seats.

And then the marketing manager stood up and described the advert for nappies we were about to see - the demographic it was aimed at etc. We slunk down in our seats, along with two other couples..... but the guy very cheerfully invited us to stay for the short ad, enjoy our freebies and leave when ready.

Needless to say we left quickly and went to watch Bright Star.
