  • Interview on Taking the Gap Podcast

    I got a mail the other day from the guys at Maude Street Podcasts who produce a whole whack of different podcasts aimed at the financial sector. They invited me to be part of the latest episode of the “Taking The Gap” podcast, to talk about iPad for Business.

    Talking isn’t my strong point, so I bit the bullet and chatted to Simon Brown who hosts the show. After listening to the show, I am very pleased the way it turned out, and the podcast is a great reseouce to anyone in business.

    To take a listen listen below and visit the Maude Street site to hear more of these great podcasts

    Thanks to the guys for the opportunity to share with you :)

  • Little Digits iPad app

    I got a mail the other day from the team at app dev house, Cowly Owl, based in the UK. They told me about their cool new iPad app called Little Digits ($1.99 iTunes link)

    Having 3 kids, I took a look at the video of the app, and immediately downloaded it. And I can honestly say it is an awesome little app ! Take a look at this video to get an idea of what the Little Digits iPad app is all about

    My 5 year old daughter who goes to Grade R next year loves it, and is learning her addition in a very simple and fun way. My 4 year old son is loving the way it is teaching him to count with his fingers. If you have kids who are going into early development stages of school and are keen to learn more about maths, addition & subtraction, I highly recommend this app for them !
