Then pull all the hair into a lower ponytail.We added a black ribbon for fun. The hairstyle is as simple as that and you have a really cute sty...

The mobile data apocalypse, and what it means to you

The mobile industry is now completing a huge shift in its attitude toward mobile data. Until pretty recently, the prevailing attitude among mobile operators was that data was a disappointment. It had been hyped for a decade, and although there were some successes, it had never lived up to the huge growth expectations that were set at the start of the decade. Most operators viewed it as a nice incremental add-on rather than the driver of their businesses.But in the last year or so, the attitude...

The OS is always greener...

In a report from a developer meeting, Nokia officials said they're moving to Maemo Linux as the OS for their high-end smartphones. That resulted in an entertaining little obituary in the Register by Andrew Orlowski (link). But then later in the day Nokia clarified that "we remain firmly committed to Symbian as our smartphone platform of choice" (link). That in turn led to a lively online debate about what Nokia actually said, and the challenges that Finnish people face when speaking English (check...

Toddler Hair

As most of you know who have toddlers know it is very difficult to come up with new ideas especially when they have thin straight hair. So here we go with another idea.Since she is only 2 it is sometimes hard to get pictures so these are all taken after the hair has been done so I will do my best to describe what was done.Around the front of her face I made 3 ponytails. Once the ponytails are in place I took the middle ponytail and separated into 3 pieces. Take one piece and pull it towards the...

For the remaining 2 other ponytails I pulled them straight across the ribbon and secured with only 1 ponytail (as shown below)...

Which mobile apps are making good money?

At a conference the other day, several industry executives were on a panel discussing mobile application stores. There were representatives from Yahoo, Qualcomm, Motorola, and an independent application store. Someone from the audience asked a simple question: "Other than entertainment apps, name three mobile applications that are monetizing well." (In other words, apps that have a good business model and are making good money.)The interesting thing was that none of the panelists had a very...

Plain Hair Headband

There are some days when I get the statement. "I just want plain hair today" Today was one of those days. She wanted a pink ribbon and since these never stay in the hair we took a small amount of hair around the face and pulled it down.Then put the ribbon behind the small part of hair. We secured the ribbon at the base of her head in a double knot.Then take the small amount of hair and twist it as shown below. Do this to both sides.Secure the 2 twists with an elastic under about half of her hair....
