Real Geek and a Real Girl
I don’t know if you have seen this floating around out in the internet but it is hilarious! Jimmy Fallon and John Krasinski have a lip sync off. Apparently Krasinski invented it and I can’t help but wonder if it was designed to make fun of Michael Buble. Buble was Emily Blunt’s (John Krasinski’s wife) former fiance.
I have to see Blackpool because I love these clips. From everything I have seen it hits me as a quirky little show and I have to check it out! But until then, how about watching Tennant do a little singing and a little dancing?
Do I really even need to convince you to watch;)? It is Star Wars and funny. There are also some great cameos.
In honor of May the Fourth, here is Patton Oswald’s fabulous Star Wars Filibuster from Parks and Rec!
I admit it, I have recently fallen down the Instagram rabbit hole. I know, I am late to the party but I am snapping selfies and taking pictures of lunch. It is crazy!!! But why now?
My cellphone camera is really good and that is a life changer. I admit that while I have had a smart phone for a few years, this has been my first year with good ones. And I have been blessed to have a few different ones since I have been an Ambassador with Verizon (so they give me great phones;). All 3 of the phones I have used this year have had much better cameras than my old, barely smart, smart phone.
My current phone (Droid DNA) has an 8 mega pixel camera. I sheepishly admit, my Canon Powershot is only 10 mega pixels. Not only are there more mega pixels rivaling cheap point and shoots, you can also zoom and take rapid pictures. So I am finding that while I am taking silly pictures for things like Instagram but also I am taking pictures that are of a high enough quality that I use them on my blogs!!!
What does this really mean in life (not just social media) terms? I am always carrying a camera! A good one! And I don’t have to carry batteries too! I am taking more pictures of my kids and even more high definition video of them too. Due to the power of our cell phone camera we don’t really need to own a point and shoot camera anymore. A DSLR is still a wonderful camera but lets be real, are you going to be carrying a huge $1000 camera everywhere? No, but that cell phone is already in your pocket!
Which means… You really need to factor the camera into all your cell phone purchases! Look for features beyond just the Mega Pixel count! I love the fact that I can take rapid pictures and some other very nice features. So look at everything that these great cameras in a phone have to offer and choose well!
And join me in the Instagram rabbit hole;). I am TheNerdmom, follow me;).
(Disclosure: I am a Verizon Ambassador and they gave me a HTC Droid DNA. All the words and opinions are mine!)
Here is a perky and fun Music Monday brought to us by The Guild!
My 2 cents on the Wall Street Journal about Mom Blog Conferences. They say that we are just escaping our kids. I think this is their attempt to get attention and traffic! Have they heard of conferences before? They are all designed to be fun and work regardless of the industry.
Is WSJ just jealous of the money invested in our conferences instead of their ads? Is this a little bit of the Mommy Wars? What do you think?
For those of you who don’t know, I love So You Can Think You Can Dance. So when I saw this Harry Potter spoof of the famous Alex and Twitch duet I had to post it!!!
While the video is very well done, the credits ran long. But will have to try some of the other Hillywood videos!
This week the #VlogMom question was from Michelle at Honest & Truly. She wanted to know all about our clothes shopping habits. And of course I had a few things to say about it;). How about you? How do you shop for clothes?
