I belong to the cult. I will admit it. Steve Jobs makes it, and I want it. My latest Apple toy is the iPad. I think I am in love… Can I love a gadget? In case you are also a member of the cult, I thought I would spend this Follow Friday focusing on my favorite apps.

Besides dazzling technology, I love how these things can make my life simpler. Here are my ten favorites:

  • Adobe Photoshop Express – Great for cropping photos to repost on your blog or Facebook.
  • Netflix – We are late comers to the whole Netflix thing. I love it, and I love watching things on the iPad!
  • Grocery IQ – We had a different grocery app but just found this one. You can sync your account so the list will magically appear on hubby’s phone, too.
  • CNN – The ipad version is pretty.
  • HootSuite – Manage your online social life
  • Bento – Bento is the simpler version of Filemaker. I use it for organizing my art, recipes, contacts, and more.
  • Hipstamatic - for that artsy fartsy photo look that a lot of bloggers are using
  • Angry Birds - Because pigs are evil, and this game is addictive.
  • Art Studio – I just started playing with this art app.
  • Pocket Informant – LOVE IT! I have wanted an app for a while that shows both appointments and to dos on one page. This one does it!

Okay, I could have listed more then ten. Are you a member of the cult? If so, what are your gotta have it apps?

 

Little Happy Fish

In the spirit of my sister’s happy blog, check out these happy robotic fish. I love them! Seriously I want one or two or three. The boys and I were wandering around Youtube looking at Hexbugs and stumbled upon some interesting robots, including a robotic python.

We could use a little happy here. My oldest is recovering from a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy, and I am an idiot that sprained an ankle. It should be a fun week! Hopefully I will find some art time this week.

I hope everyone is enjoying the arrival of SPRING!

Magothy in the Morning

Magothy in the Morning by Claudine Intner

Good Morning! I hope this post finds you in a happy place. I snapped this beautiful shot of the Magothy River and thought I would share because it is so peaceful.

I fell behind on Follow Friday posts and now I have a really random collection of links today.

And here is a final Follow Friday… I started a fan page on Facebook! Yeah! I will be sharing new art, blog posts, news, and other goodies. So please come and join The Art of Claudine Intner.

Have a fabulous Labor Day weekend! I look forward to sharing some new art with you next week.
