Day 9 of NaBloPoMo MacBook Air 13″ A couple weeks ago, there was a “magical” Apple Event where Steve Jobs introduced the newest MacBook Air 13″ and 11″ laptops.

Deanna — Wed, 06 Oct 2010 00:50:46 +0000

In my previous posts and reviews about my favourite webcomics, I have been basing them on common themes such as World of Warcraft, cuteness factor, humour and other factors. Seeing as I have quite a few comics that I love, I figure I should do a review of a few of the webcomics that are [...]

Deanna — Sat, 11 Sep 2010 15:18:26 +0000

Well in my endeavour to explain my daily webcomic reading, I realized I have forgotten one of my favourite geeky webcomics.

Since I first starting playing with my iPad, I have been enjoying the large screen and quick zippiness of the tablet.
