Rick shares his picks for Thanksgiving iPad apps


0 Rick shares his picks for Thanksgiving iPad apps

In Canada, due to our earlier harvest, we celebrate Thanksgiving in October. So, just as soon as we’ve stopped remarking, “Can you believe the summer is over already?” we start into marveling at the fact that it’s time to think turkey and stuffing.

In this visit to Urban Rush, I demonstrate five iPad apps that will help you get into the Thanksgiving spirit (does every holiday have a spirit?). I’ve got something to help you work your gratitude muscle, another to help you find the perfect Thanksgiving side dish, an app to help you pair the meal with the right wine, one to help you make sure you don’t burn the turkey and finally one to keep you from getting sick eating leftovers that are way past their prime.

Follow Friday: Week 2

Twitter Badge 1 Follow Friday: Week 2
Image via Wikipedia

It’s been a crazy week and I see that there aren’t nearly enough posts between this Follow Friday and the previous one.

Just the same, I can’t let my Twitter friends down.

I’ll reiterate what I said last week and explain that Follow Friday is a weekly tradition on Twitter where users recommend other users for people to follow. I was beginning to wonder if all of my Twitter friends have met each other already so I started to introduce my Twitter friends to my blog readers.

My usual method of deciding who to recommend for Follow Friday has been to go over the past week’s mentions and recommend some of the people who have reached out to me ( @rickmacmerc ) in some way and have engaged me in conversation.

So, without much further delay, I will bring you my list. Just hover over the links for a little window from which you can get more info on these folks and give them a follow.
