Scan and Retrieve Text via iPhone

Saturday, February 27th, 2010

So I have this problem.  I have over 200 poems published in the last 10 years and no way of properly cataloging them. The thought of typing them all out is extremely daunting (soft copies were lost in the crash of 2004 – back up your computer NOW!).

Best iPhone Games

Things I wish I knew before I bought the iTouch. (Sorry, it is just so much easier to say than iPod Touch so I’m going to regress.
1. No wall charger!
After years of buying non-Apple stuff, I never knew the iTouch would come WITHOUT a wall charger. It comes with a USB charger to hook up [...]

Why I Bought the iPod Touch

Saturday, December 6th, 2008

Yep, I betrayed my PC geek self and bought myself an Apple product. Why? Lack of substitutes, really. There’s nothing prettier or sleeker than the iPod Touch and though I still like to annoy my friends loyal to Apple by calling it the iTouch, I shall be PC (excuse the pun) and call it the [...]
