Dragon*Con 2011

Dragon*Con 2011 in Atlanta, Georgia was amazing. I only got to attend a few hours due to circumstances after my arrival, but I will be returning next year. This convention really is run by fans and the variety with everything is proof. It was spread out over 5 large hotels and the floor space was very generous. I can easily claim that Dragon*Con 2011 was much bigger than San Diego Comic Con 2011, which I also attended for the full four days. Cosplay was in abundance as it seemed that most people were dressed in some kind of theme or full costume. I did take some costumes with me but never had the time to wear them. 

Below are a few of the very blurry iPhone photos I got to take while I was there. I never took out my DSLR due to time constraints.

"NightStand" for iPad: AMAZING

Recently I was left without an alarm clock when my iPhone crashed. I couldn’t help but wonder why I didn’t have an old fashioned clock, but with today’s technology along with my nose constantly in my iPhone and iPad 2, I never saw the use of replacing it. In the end, I was right.

After some research in the Apple App Store seeking an alarm clock made specifically for iPad or iPad 2, I found something so amazing, I feel obligated to share it with you.

Say hello to “Nightstand” for iPad. Free version and paid version, which I have now, is $2.99 and worth every cent.

Here is my personal version. As you can see, I have Twitter, FaceBook and my RSS all in one along with the time and weather. The background motion movie photos they offer are simply soothing, EX: fireplace.

This is not your regular alarm clock by any means. It is also a social reader and outlet with Twitter, FaceBook and RSS built in, a local weather reader, slideshow gallery of your photos, iPod music alarm, sleep timer and so much more.

If you are worried about battery life, don’t. If you have an iPad 2, I can tell you from my travels that you can easily get 10 plus hours of watching movies straight without ever plugging the device in. Keep in mind; it is for the night stand. It is used for an alarm clock with bonuses, so you can always plug it in.
