My first Apple product

After months of looking at them online, I finally had an excuse to buy myself one. It was my husbands’ birthday yesterday. After supper, we went to Future Shop and I told him that I was planning and getting him an iPod Touch. He was tentative at first since he didn’t really know what they were/did apart from playing iTunes and MP3s. When I started describing all the cool little things you could do well … there was a spark in his eyes :p

So now we both have one. It’s an 8GB iPod Touch which is plenty for us.

50 Free Icon Sets

Wrote an article over at The Web Squeeze called 50 Free Icon Sets. It’s basically the biggest collection of the best icons for your website all in one post! Hope you digg it :)

Digg isn’t spam-proof either

I must admit that the whole “Digg” thing has never really been something I “got”. Only recently when we opened up The Web Squeeze and I started writing again have I started to use it to expose our articles to the people of the internet that don’t know of us yet. It’s a really great tool for that not only for us to get more traffic and readership but also to find other really great articles from sites that I haven’t encountered yet. My blog tag in my delicious account has grown quite a bit in the past few months because of Digg and that’s very cool.
