Sorry for the lack of posting

So sorry for the lack of posting. I have a book review to post, and some camera stuff to post and some vidocamera review to post.... Along wth usual rants. But I have been so very very sick. so I have a doctors visit tomorrow. Hopefully that with help me get back to only in a lot of pain and general not feeling good. Rather than maximum pain and fevers and starving (cant eat, 5th day), and so very sleepy.

So once again, sory for those waiting for a post give me another day or two.

TOMOSON

So I have joined Tomoson, a blogger product review site. It is esy to set up an account, and free. They also have some review opertunities available world wide, and some for any level of following of twitter or facebook.

This is good for me as I am just starting to blog. Other such match product to blogger sites often have a 3 months minumum age for a blog. So Tomoson is a welcome sart for me.

I have already been contacted,I get to review a book. I love Books.

Here's to keeping my fingers crossed for more free products to reviews in the future. Not that that will stop me:

I just got my hands on a Kodak Zx5 playsport. This will be for use on our japan trip.... But it will need some testing before we go to make sure the product doesn't have any problems, It says waterproof, So I wonder about our hot tub. Have to check it the seals are good. Otherwise, from using it so far.... I most definatly like.

Kickstarter

Kickstarter is a website that gives you the opertunity to invest in an idea, prototype, art project,and final product. And you decide where your money goes.

Sometimes you get a prototype, or the fist batch made, or your name in a book, or some other souvenire that reminds you that you helped someones dream become reality.

For as little as a dollar you can support an idea. other gifts come at slightly higher prices, depending on a product. For me, I invsted in a product that is now available at major retail stores. Only mine has a dIfferent logo, and I got mine 6 months earlier than the stores. A tablet stand (that is very comfortable on my lap as I type here) that swivels, and one extra to be a gift.

And as the project was funded, and we followed our inventors as they delt with makeing the molds and polymers for the different parts, them making them again as problems arrose. Of shipping details, and last minute testing issues that can only be found by small children. It becoms more than just investing, its a story that only few will know.

And now when I look at them in the store, made by a larger company that in the end bought the idea and made more, I smile. I know the story behind this gadget, the ups and downs, the late nights and problems, the comunity that gatherred behind this project, like they do for many projects at kickstarter.

Every month there is a new newsletter, with a few choice funding options. And I marvel at what people make. Not some rocket-scientist, but our neighbours.

Check them out. Marvel at innovation.

Dolphin Hd, opera, .... And Orange Diary Plus

I updated my dolphin HD on my adam tablet. As long as it is not a betta version it will update the version already installed. Yeah :)

And it runs better than the version that was added to the stock adam tablet update. So far anyways.

Still liking it better than opera or firefox for my tablet. And they all, including the dolphin freeze and crash sometimes.

I am still running the stock ROM on th adam. Sometimes I think I should change it, then other times..... Well it works most ofthe time.

One odd note. Mail'd and dolphin hd have been bAttleing each other on my tablet. One hates to work while the other is updateing, or loading. I hope the update will fix that.

Opera on the other hand keeps logging me out of everything, constantly. some sits it will log you out while you are on th site. Also twitter and facebook, haveing to relogin to them every time I try to loggin using facebook, or retweeting from a page is so annoying.

Favorite app of the week for me is..... Orange Diary Plus. I use it for keeping track of when I take a medication dose, and what pills(it notes the time). It also lets me easily mark it as vitamin or prescription with easy preset color stars and header. While most people might not find it useful, it is great if you need to know when you did what. And you can easily see other days/weeks to compare.

Japan!! Maybe?

So Japan. Should I go? I am leaning towards yes. All my family is going to okinawa, japan, this march and I have an invite, should I think I can survive the fligth, 2 weeks of sharing a room with someone, travelling with parents and sisters.

Normal people just get to say yes. I get to consider pain manegement. Do I try botox for just the trip (it's way to expensive for usual use) for my ever present reacuuring migrains and headachs. And what pain pills can and should I take though customs, carry in my purse or check them.

And then I need to buy a camera or a video recorder. And do I take my tablet, or old laptop.

Sunsreen? I react a bit badly to store brands. So I need to find something all natural, organic.

And how do you say no MSG in japanese.

But I love to travel. So I guess it will be on the doctors to see if we can make me almost as able as a regular person, if only for 2 weeks.
