Are you ready to Blaze!

My friend Michelle was at the checkout line one day and thought to herself, "Wouldn't it be cool to use my mobile phone to pay for this transaction?" (I'm paraphrasing). There are probably many people with this thought besides Michelle, the only difference is she had the resources, experience, and cajones to pull it off! Today she is founder and CEO of BlazeMobile. My girl is badd! (NOTE: I realize I'm daiting myself with that slang). So, this weekend I'm blazin' to the movies, the museum, and whatever else I can do with BlazeWallet, my newest iPhone app. I'll let you know how it goes....

Stay tuned....

Breast feeding with your iPhone

Huh!? That's was my first thought. I was talking to a colleague telling him about this blog and why I started it and he immediately got it. He told me that he's looking at his wife with a kindle on one side of her lap and the the iphone on the other while she's breast feeding their son, and thinks to himself her fitness magazine isn't talking about this. Exactly! there aren't any womens' magazine or even technology magazine's that review, evaluate, technology from a personal, lifestyle perspective. And for me being a female I really want to see in our womens' media cover technology from a lifestyle perspective. So, that's the reason I started the blog; to start, contribute, and enhance the conversation on how technology informs our decisions, our experiences, and our collective mindset.

And before I go, yes, I looked up the iPhone breast feeding apps and I am simply amazed! Since I haven't been blessed to me a mother yet, I didn't know how much information a mom has to track when she chooses to breast feed! These apps help moms keep track of everything from the last breast her baby fed on to tracking bowels (sorry if that's TMI for some of you). If you're a mom or a mom to be with an iphone and want to know more check out these iPhone apps, search on breast feeding at the App Store, or learn about Baby Tracker Nursing by http://www.andesigned.net/ for $7.99 and Breastfeeding by Lars Bergelt for $0.99.
The price difference is in the amount of information each tracks. I have to agree with one customer's comment, "Apps like this are what separate the iPhone."

PS> and the Amazon kindle was reading material while breast feeding. Of course!
