The movie Dead Poets Society was released for the first time ever on Blu-Ray last week and I can’t believe it’s been twenty-three years since it was originally released in theaters. That makes me feel very old! It has been digitally restored for this new edition but the story remains as powerful as ever. This [...]

I didn’t catch the movie Real Steel when it came through movie theaters last year. It snuck past us, movies in the theater are a rare treat at our house. I heard good things though and was excited to get a chance to preview the Blu-Ray + DVD edition that’s being released this week on [...]

How many of you became first time iPad owners over the weekend? In no particular order here are the most used apps on our well loved iPad.
