App of the Week – Dr. Seuss Camera – The Grinch Edition
Staying with our holiday season theme for our app picks, it wouldn’t be Christmas for Janice me without The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. Heck, we even named our dog Lindy (her full name is Lindy-Lou Who Arnoldi) after Cindy Lou Who. So this week’s app is Dr. Seuss Camera – The Grinch Edition. With the Dr. Suess Camera – The Grinch Edition, you can make anyone the Grinch, Max or Cindy Lou by choosing from 20 different cards that you can personalize with stamps, borders and Suess text. Each of the cards can then be emailed or saved to your photo library. Use the...
Read MoreApp of the Week: Camera+
With the holiday season upon us, many are looking for photo apps that will help capture those fun holiday moments. Camera+ for iPhone and now iPad is my favourite. Camera+ gives you a ton of control when you are taking photos: a 6x zoom; different shooting modes – stablizer, timer & burst for action shots and touch exposure & focus, allowing you to set exposure separately from focus. When it comes to editing your photos Camera+ has it covered. You can adjust your photos with scenes mode, adjust, cropping, FX filters and borders. There is added editing functionality with the...
Read MoreApp of the Week: Unstuck
We’ve all been stuck. Can’t move forward, don’t want to move backwards. Sometimes it’s personal. Sometimes it’s in business. And when I wake up in the middle of the night worrying about feeling stuck I can’t pick up the phone and call our Focus Coach Ruth Unrau (at least I don’t think she’d like us to.) The new iPad app Unstuck helps you get,well, unstuck. We’ve been trying it out for a couple weeks and we’re happy to report feeling less stuck. Unstuck helps you work through your stuck moment by looking at what your stuck on, how...

Read MoreApp of the Week – Entry – THE app for events
If you’ve ever organized an event or had to register people at an event, you know how difficult it can be to check in or register people especially when you have more than one person checking people in.

Read MoreApp of the Week: Lift – unlock your potential
This is the second post in our series about Apps. Each Wednesday, we look at apps that we like, love and have helped our business. A couple months ago I was on the hunt for an app to help me introduce some new habits into my day for both work and personal. For almost two and a half years I did yoga four to five times a week but about eight months ago I stopped. The stopping wasn’t all at once. It started with skipping a day here and there and before I knew it yoga had disappeared completely – except for the yoga mat propped up in the corner. It wasn’t that I...
Read MoreApp of the Week: Over – adding text to your photos
This is the first post in our new series about Apps. Each Wednesday, we’ll be looking at apps that we like, love and that have helped our business. First up? Over There had been more than a few times when I’d thought that adding text to a photo would be a cool thing to do.

I first learned about Over on Chris Brogan’s blog post “Calling All Impact Makers” and was immediately intrigued. After a...
