What’s the Matter With Batman?
This question could be answered with “Where do I begin?” or “Absolutely nothing!” – it all depends on your perspective, I suppose.

According to Robin Rosenberg, clinical psychologist and author based in California, however, there are things that could be wrong with everyone’s favorite superhero. Alright, he may not be everyone’s superhero of choice, but Batman comes pretty close to that, doesn’t he?

Rosenberg has written a book titled just that: “What’s the Matter With Batman?” She sums everything up nicely in one sentence: “He is the poster boy for post-traumatic growth.”

Now don’t get confused and mistake post-traumatic growth for post-traumatic stress disorder.

Insta-WP

Since it was launched in October of 2010, Instagram has become a household name. Even though the app was originally created for only iOS devices, it was still able to achieve a wide reach. Of course, when the company decided to expand and enter the Android market, the users of Instagram exploded.

Naturally, there are the haters. There will always be haters. They can say all sorts of negative things about Instagram, its filters, its users, and so on, but no one can really deny that the app is fun, right?

Obviously, I am an Instagram user, albeit not a very regular one. I have it installed on both the iPhone and the iPad, but I just seem to suck at timing, so often, I miss out on good photo opportunities.

In any case, if you are an Instagrammer, you would love this discovery: Insta-WP. [Read more…] about Take Instagram to New Heights With Insta-WP

I don’t know if you are aware of it, but Amazon has maintained a steady place in the tablet market. In fact, it ranks highly in second place, thanks to its Kindle line of e-readers.

You may say whatever you want about the magic of the iPad (I will not disagree), but if you are in the market for a device that might not be as magical but work just as perfectly for certain things, then the Kindle is no doubt an excellent device. Even more so when Amazon launched the Kindle Fire. [Read more…] about Kindle Fire Going on a Diet to Get Slimmer
