Celebrating the Everyday, Friday Favs //
Happy Friday everyone. Before we share this weeks Friday Favorite, we just wanted to leave a quick reminder to head on over to our Brew on the Roof Party post and leave us comment for your chance to win a $25 Williams-Sonoma Gift Card. The winner will be chosen and announced on our Facebook page shortly after 5pm today so don’t forget to like our page! :) And now for today’s regularly scheduled post…
I love technology. As an electrical engineer, electronics and gadgets have always been in my blood. Whether its the latest new phone, computer, or TV, it is all exciting to me. Ok, I admit it, I am kind of a nerd. Or as Liz calls me, an “engi-nerd.” It is crazy to think about how much technology has changed in just the last few years. Whatever happened to car phones and cassette tapes? Soon we will be saying good-bye to DVDs and CDs as well! That’s Crazy! Have no fear we won’t be getting rid of our Atari 2600 anytime soon! :)
As much as I love technology, one thing that has been hard to replace is the simple joy of doodling, sketching out my thoughts, and writing in a journal. Although I haven’t quite given up the good old fashioned pen and paper yet, this week’s Friday Favorite may eventually make me do just that.
Friday Favorites: Tech Corner – Paper App and Wacom Bamboo Stylus
As much as I love technology, until now, it was just easier to sketch out a quick idea on a notepad or in my journal. That is until I found the Paper App and Wacom Bamboo Stylus. The Paper App and Stylus turns your iPad into a never ending digital journal that is perfect for sketching or writing out a few quick ideas. We pretty much always carry our iPad along with us, so using the paper app instead of a real journal has freed up some extra space in our Kelly Moore Thirst Relief bag and taken some weight off our shoulders.
Being a photographer with an electrical engineering degree has definitely made me a super visual detail oriented person. So when it came to planning our Brew on the Roof Party, I pulled out our iPad, opened the Paper App and began to sketch out our plans for the evening. A few of my sample sketches can be found below.
Ok, I might not be the next Picasso, but the Paper App has definitely been one of our most used iPad Apps.
So we would love to hear from you. What piece of technology or App has made your life just a little simpler?
Happy Friday!
