Weekly Recap: The LEGO Principle

Written on February 23, 2011 by Krisy in Around the Web, Technology is Cool, Weekly Recap

My weekly recap came down to just one article this week. In putting together my weekly recaps, I make sure to pick articles that are not spammy or lame. However, I do come across some gems here and there and this article is one of them! Jennifer Saska of the NCH Software, submitted this great article about how playing with LEGOS is similar to building software. This is an interesting article and while I am not a programmer myself, I found it interesting how building things layer at a time, much like building things with LEGOS was comparable.

Now when I watch my children play with their LEGOS, I wonder if 1. they make this kind of correlation and 2. are they going to be the software designers of the future?

I really liked not only this article, but the blog as well! NCH Software has done a great job of presenting the information to a large audience, whether you are a programmer or not, this blog has great information!

Weekly Recap: Kindle Accesories, Wishing for low tech life, ARM Processors & Power AMPS

Written on February 16, 2011 by Krisy in Weekly Recap

So here’s the weekly recap!

I have a great post about some of the cute new Kindle Covers! Personally, I like the Diane Von Furstenburg cover the best!

Another great post from Mad Kane on wishing for a low tech life! (There are days when I feel like this too!)

An interesting post on ARM processors and how they may be taking over as new servers.  it looks like ARM processors as servers may be the way to go! While I didn’t know much about ARM processors, the author makes a great case for using them as servers!

And lastly a great post on the Parasound NewClassic AMP. I really liked this post because I have to admit, I don’t know much about AMPS for our home theater and I not only learned a lot about them, but also the features that I need to know as well!

Weekly Recap: iPhone Scratch removal, Google Chrome and Acer, The Social Network Review

Written on February 7, 2011 by Krisy in Weekly Recap

Each week I host a Blog Carnival recapping cool stuff that I may have missed blogging about during the week.

Here are a few of my favorites:

How to get rid of iPhone Scratches is a great article on the best ways to get rid of the pesky scratches that we all get on our iPhones (and iPod Touch). The author does a great job of letting us know the best kits to buy to get rid of the pesky surface scratches that we get due to keys, coins and etc. This an especially important post for all the new Verizon iPhone users!!!

A Look Ahead: Google Chrome, Acer Aspire and Asus

The author reviews each of the smaller laptops on the market currently. the Google Chrome OS CR-48 laptop, the Acer Aspire laptop and the Asus. The author also mentions upcoming trends for the smaller laptops in the general market. It seems as if the littler laptops are here to stay!

The Social Network (Limerick Review)

This was hilarious! I liked it so much that I now follow her on Twitter!

The Social Network (Limerick Review)
By Madeleine Begun Kane

Social Network’s a wonderful flick —
Snappy dialogue — listen, it’s quick.
Depositions are used
Rather well — I’m amused.
As for Oscars this year, it’s my pick.

Make sure to check out her witty blog! What I love about her blog is that I can read a review of a movie, song parodies and satires and feel like I got all the needed information and could laugh in the process!

So that’s my weekly recap, check back next Monday for more great stuff!
