Gorilla Pod

Specifically used to hold up a small still camera or a motion camera as well. I just got my gorilla podin the mail last week, and let me tell you, it is like the world's smallest tripod. When I first opened the box, I was like you have to be kidding me right? But then the more I played with it, the more I began to love it!

I have a small HD camera that I use to shoot my YouTube videos with. For the longest time I need something that would allow me to pretty much just stick it anywhere. Thats when I found out about the gorilla pod. I was looking through SkyMall and I saw an add for it. It honestly looked like the coolest thing I had ever seen.

And, it is.

I am now able to hook my camera around rails, poles, chairs, tables, and you name it!

It has three bendable arms that remind me of some sort of crazy legos. You then take the arms and bend them around items so you can put the camera pretty much anywhere. Its awesome, I freak out everything I use it, my friends by now think I am crazy.

iPhone


I have one. Yes, well of course I do! I am absolutely obsessed with apple so it is pretty much obvious that I have one.
Couple things:
1. People, it works like a computer, so stop messing with it like your ordinary phone
2. It is fragile, the little plastic screen does nothing but protect it from scratches. So no, it will not survive a flight of a million stairs or a roller-coaster, it will break the screen!! haha
3. The more you use it, the more battery you will waste, duh. so I like to save the game playing when I know I will be able to charge if need be.

Alright, the iPhone, Apples greatest creation I think.
The apps are amazing! I am really addicted to BlackJack and Sudoku and TanZen.
The drag is that it really, in the end of the day, can't hold too much stuff. It fits my most popular songs and favorite artists, it fits my contact book and a few of my favorite photos, but it does hold a lot of applications.

I understand that apple wanted to basically put your entire life in this phone, but honestly the battery can't hold all that activity. Thus I recommend you keep a little bit of your favorite everything, and keep your iPodhandy just in case.

This leads me to number 4 which is the MOST IMPORTANT!!: listen, this is a phone, and phones get lost, and people can take your phone and do whatever to it, and you cry and get a new one, all better right? wrong! This phone works more similar to a PDA phone, holding all of your contacts, emails, photos, information and who knows what else, people put their addresses and lock numbers in there too I bet. Because of this it is really important that you have a lock on your phone. I know it is a hassle to constantly having to type in a password, but trust me its worth it if you lose your phone. Thank goodness to having a password because there was a lot of embarrassing texts that my friend could of easily read, but hahah couldn't! :)

Just a couple tips for you and your iPhone. No body told me about these little things, so I had to figure them out on my own. Other than that, I love my baby, and you will too.
