Protect your gear with iFrogz
Photo-A-Day #1391

I heard about ifrogz® a year or so ago and at that time I really wanted a certain company to get some custom iPod cases so that I could get one and show my support. Well, cut to a year later and I now have an iPod, an iTouch and a Zune. I also have a 15 month old little girl who likes to pick these expensive toys up and drop them. I had to do something to protect them.

Be Different, With a Custom Case. Millions of Possible Combinations!

I decided to look up ifrogz® again and find out what they had to offer. They had a product for my 1st generation iTouch. They had protective screens as well as protective covers made from 100% polished silicone called Wrapz. They come in a variety of colors. I picked up a blue one for me and a red one for Allison. I also got Allison a pair of custom headphones.

Custom Colors and Graphics
Like Nothing Else, Special Price!

Further searching and I found protective covers for my Zune and there are also tons of them for the iPod 80GB video that I had as well. Since I won’t be using that iPod much anymore so we’re going to let Eva have that one.

Let Eva have an iPod, well not right away but when she is older she’ll be all set because I also picked up a purple Tadpoleâ„¢. It also comes a set of headphones specifically designed for kids.

I am also very excited to announce that I am now an affiliate for ifrogz®. That means that all the talking up of the awesome product to all friends and family is going to pay me back a little.

My Dinner with Betty

My Dinner with Betty
Photo-A-Day #1384

Average Betty that is. I have just started getting into this great food related podcast called AverageBetty. A while back I was at Staples and I saw thing gadget called the Mi book that was basically a video viewer for Food Network recipes, a visual way to see a recipe and cook. After seeing that I thought to myself, I bet that someone had the great idea of doing a show like that as a podcast and I can download it for free on my iPod/iPod Touch. There certainly is a great show and it is called Average Betty.

The way to describe Average Betty is that it is a show with the frenetic energy of Alton Brown – the major food knowledge + great hair + edginess – measures and recipe details + sketch comedy + a cast of “Betty” Characters – long drawn out details of other shows. Betty is fast, entertaining and the food leaves you wanting more of both Betty and the food. Betty has an amazing personality on screen and plays a bunch of fun and funny characters that toss around pop culture references like a pigskin in a backyard touch football game played by overly caffeinated Chihuahuas. It is my new favorite podcast, sorry Cali and GeekBrief.tv but Betty actually tells me about stuff that won’t break the budget.

If you are upset that the videos don’t have the full recipes never fear you can go to AverageBetty.com and get the recipes for the delicious meals and snacks and desserts that Betty is cooking up. There are step by step instructions with color photos. See, save the boring instructional stuff for the written page but keep the sexy (and by that I mean the final images of the food) fun stuff for the videos.

All of these great recipes and podcasts made my BLT and Cheese from D’Angelo pale in comparison even if I did ask them to put in a little thousand island to give the meal a little kick.
