geekmummy.tv – app of the week – Happy Babies

November 25, 2011

Tweet This week it’s all about the geekson. He’s now 17 months old, and although he’s had access to an iPad since birth, it really seems like this week he’s taken a huge developmental leap in terms of interacting with it. Now instead of just randomly hitting at the screen he’s taking the time to [...]

geekmummy.tv – app of the week – Drawing Pad

November 18, 2011

Tweet This week’s app of the week is inspired by my friend Minibreak Mummy who wrote an excellent blog post last week explaining why she thinks the iPad is a perfect computer for toddlers.

How the iPad can make long car journeys easier with small children

October 12, 2011

Tweet “Kids always sleep in cars!”. When the geekdaughter was tiny I heard that all the time. And it isn’t always true. It wasn’t true for me then, and it’s not true now. We learned at an early age that the geekdaughter would only ever sleep for a maximum of 30 minutes in the car. [...]

Thanks Steve

October 6, 2011

Tweet I think it’s well-known how much I love my i-Devices. You’ll almost never see me without my iPhone, and I generally have my trusty iPad to hand as well. I’m not a complete Apple devotee though, as I really really don’t like Macs. I inherited the geekdaddy’s old 24″ iMac when he upgraded, and [...]

iPads in supermarket trolleys

September 7, 2011

Tweet Thanks to my friend Perry over at A Little Geeky for drawing my attention to this article in the Telegraph last week announcing that the supermarket chain Sainsbury’s are trialling some new supermarket trolleys that include an iPad dock.
