LeapFrog’s My Own Leaptop is the iPad killer….for toddlers

Toddler Mojo loves the iPad.  When he was younger, i.e., more controllable, he’d sit in my lap and go through some of the learning apps for children.  Now that he’s 27 month old, he’s well into being a toddler and wants to control anything and everything.  With the iPad, that doesn’t work out so well; it’s expensive and it might frustrate the toddler mind which would then cause Hulk like rage and the throwing of expensive electronics.

Mission Impossible 4 in IMAX is large and in charge action fun

Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol is the 4th entry in the franchise and easily the most entertaining out of all of them.  The movie takes advantage of the picturesque scenery in Moscow, Dubai and Mumbai to all but require watching the film in IMAX.  I saw the film in IMAX and the difference in the scenes shot in IMAX and those that weren’t are like comparing an LP to an MP3 file. Continue reading Mission Impossible 4 in IMAX is large and in charge action fun
