No Borring Plane Rides: Costa Rica Here I Come!

Kayley — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 16:01:32 +0000

Have you ever struggled seeing a movie on your small ipod screen? I have! Deals Click Description-The iFlip may look like a mini laptop, but underneath the lid sits a whole new world of video possibilities. Open the iFlip’s cover and you’ll see a universal dock on the bottom that holds and charges select iPods, along with an 8.4-inch widescreen LCD display for video playback. The screen is ideal for watching stored iPod movies on planes or entertaining the kids on long car trips, plus it offers an easy way to share your favorite digital photos with friends without hooking up to a full-size TV. Add in an intuitive onscreen menu system and a host of connectivity options and you have the perfect portable video player for almost all on-the-go applications. The video screen is crisp and versatile, with such features as a selectable aspect ratio (16:9 or 4:3), a 480 x 234 native resolution in RGB mode, a 300 cd/m2 brightness rating, and a 350:1 contrast ratio. In addition, the 75-degree horizontal viewing angle and 70- degree vertical viewing angle lets fellow passengers see the screen without straining their necks. And don’t worry about the iFlip running out of juice on the first leg of your cross-country trip, as the integrated rechargeable lithium-ion battery delivers roughly five hours of video playback per charge. To renew the battery, simply plug in the AC adapter and you’ll recharge both the iFlip and iPod simultaneously. Finally, the iFlip isn’t restricted to iPod use only, as it connects to other video devices via the S-video output and line-in jacks. Other details include dual headphone jacks for people who travel in pairs and adjustable brightness, color, hue, and contrast controls. The iFlip–which is compatible with the iPod nano (1G and 2G), iPod video (5G), iPod photo (regular and U2 model), iPod 4G with click wheel (regular and U2 model), and iPod mini–measures 8.7 by 1.8 by 6.7 inches (W x H x D) when closed.This was awesome for my long trip down to Costa Rica. The screen is the perfect size for viewing movies. It works much better to see, rather than the small screen of your ipod. Great buy for an amazing price!

Go Going Gone!

For my little sisters birthday, she wanted a car. However she’s only 10 years old, so that wouldn’t work! I had the great idea of getting her something else that could drive. I looked at four-wheelers and dirt bikes, but they were all out of my price range. Finally I found this great go kart at Target. It was the perfect price and the perfect gift all together for my little sister. She loves it!

Kids clothes for summer

admin — Sat, 22 May 2010 02:11:11 +0000

We have reached that time of year when the long sleeved shirts and pants go into the garage sale bin and we head out to the store to find nice fitting summer kids clothes for the next few months. Some people are really industrious and shop for the next year’s clothes at the end of the season. Like I know some parent who are right now stocking up on winter clothes for their children. The only pitfall is to remember to buy a little bigger since your child is likely to grow. Unfortunately, I have seen a few parents stock up on clothes for the winter only to scream in frustration upon realizing they did not take their kids’ growth into account. I personally don’t like to shop this way. I can’t imagine it saves me that much money and since I don’t know how much my child is going to grow, I don’t want to guess and buy too small. I mean if you buy too big, at least they have a chance to grow into the clothes, but nobody likes clothes that are too small; they’re uncomfortable. So, I’ll buy my kids clothes for summer now and wait for the fall to stock up on longer stuff.
