iPad vs Tablet vs Nook

Those who know me know that I'm not partial to Apple in any way.  Mainly because there's very limited....everything.  You can't do everything on a Mac and that's the truth.  With that aside, I'm only talking about Android.  It's all about personal preference as it is with everything in life.

I've been wanting the Motorola Xoom for the longest.  I mean, there are knockoffs of Android Tablets from China for $100+ that work exactly the same.  The only downfall is that there is very bad resolution.  Who wants to watch videos and etc.  with something less that 1080p nowadays?? Not me.  

So I went out to Barnes and Noble and bought the Nook Color, being the avid reader that I am (I've wanted the Amazon Kindle forever, but who can pass up a color lcd screen?).  What a great machine. For those who don't know- it's based off of an Android OS.   I quickly learned that I could convert it into a fully running Android Tablet (YAY!).  When doing that though, it voids your warranty (WAAAHH! lol). Then I learned how to boot the tablet straight off the sd card so that it bypasses all of that wackness.  And Voila! It's a fully running tablet when the sd card is inserted.  And when I want to use the basic B&N Nook, I simply take out the sd card....how awesome.

Now I'm running the Kindle App on the Nook =D

Anyone interested in buying a sd card? Contact me and I'll hook you up.  It beats paying $600+ on a tablet. The Nook is only $250.  AND you get the Android Market.

Great, Creative Day!

Today was an absolutely great day...finally.  I've had my ups and downs lately thanks to some not so loyal and untrustworthy friends.  How can someone be so two faced?? Literally (no pun intended (for those who know what I'm talking about)).

Anyway....lol, I had a great workout and felt great all day.  Ever feel like you need changes? I've been wanting to paint an accent wall (another) in my house for a while and had been battling which colors I've wanted for literally a year.  My choice colors were turquoise blue or lime green.  The other rooms in my house are accented dark brown and red plaster.  So I decided to go with turquoise blue with a little hint of mint green.  Very pretty.  I have a picture but it in no way does it any justice.  Screw camera phones lol.  And screw losing my digital camera battery charger.

Well there it is! The second color over it is one of the colors of the stencils I'm going to do.  It's a metallic champagne gold color.  I'm thinking of doing some vector floral patterns- something mod using that champagne, maybe some reds, neon yellows and green. 

I'm so excited to have another project on my hands, regardless if it's going to be a bit challenging.


We have laser engraver that we use for our work (http://www.elysiumavenue.com and http://www.calitrendz.com) so we can make any patterns of stencils we want....I mean, anything.  It's super cool.

Please bear with me as I figure this out.  I'm sure once I do, it'll be pretty good!
