My Dearest Wife,
Do you remember that chemistry class you took way back in college? I found an app for the iPad today called Elementals. It is a really cool interactive Periodic Table of the Elements. Click on an element and the animated atom stops by for a visit. With the atomic weight and number of protons as well as its classification, this app would have been a fun way to learn about the elements. Too bad there was no such thing as an iPad back then. But, hey! There's still time for our kids.
Doodle Buddy would have been a great app to have along for the 13-hour ten hour trip we took to Orlando last month. With a cool, built-in tic-tac-toe board, it would have been a great hit on the road (not to mention at a restaurant when the service is reallllly slow).
There are also some awesome music apps. You can play the piano, a guitar, or even a xylophone. How cool is that? Pluto Music is not only fun but it's educational. You choose a song to play and then the musical bar starts moving. You are giving clues as to where on the bar the note should be and you are encouraged to "play" along with the music.
Another app I had a chance to try is Dragon Dictation. This amazing app converts speech to text. The possibilities for this app are limitless. No more note taking. Sit up front and let Dragon take notes for you. Got a great idea you need to get on paper. Let Dragon write it for you.
Of course, there's always YouVersion. This Bible App has so many translations. You can even read the Bible in Euskara (just in case you every needed to). The little speaker button at the bottom of the screen is probably my favorite part. Click on this and presto the iPad starts reading the Bible to you. Very cool!!!!
I could go on and on and on and on...well...you get the picture. There are too many amazing apps to write about. Besides, it'd be a lot better if I could just show you, but since I can't bring the school iPad home, I guess we'll have to pay a visit to Wal-Mart this weekend so I can show you.
Your Loving Husband,
Jerry
Ah, keep at it. She is bound to get the idea eventually. :-)
