Our very own Gaylene was at the Winter X Games last week with our friends from Boarding for Breast Cancer, and we’re working hard with them to raise awareness for their cause, and raise some money for them too.

New and Shiny – the Apple iPad

“It’s an iPod XXL!”
“It’s revolutionary and magical, like unicorns with rainbow belts on!”
“I’ll stick with my Macbook Pro and iPhone – it’s a combo better than the McDonalds #3″
“My mom will love this”
“I wish it came in electric purple”

So Apple unveiled their iPad this week, and we have a lot of thoughts here in the [...]

Hey you, watch where you’re walxtin’!

Walking and texting.  We all do it, right?  I’ve been known to bump into things such as people, lamp posts, small animals, cars, and people riding on bikes.  One time someone who was texting actually bumped into ME and like an old guy I thought “Hey kid, Watch where you’re texting!”
I’m that kid though.  And [...]

Texting as a sport in the Olympics?

I can text pretty fast.  I’m not sure that I’m fast enough to be in the Olympics though.
Are you?
A team for Korea won the texting world cup in New York City this week. A US team came in second, an Australian team in third.
Hmmm, maybe we should have a textPlus texting team.  That would be [...]

Our app is your app.

You’ve probably noticed some cool artwork from time to time when you open up the textPlus app.  Did you catch the New Years art by Chris?  How about the Rose Bowl art by Zack?  Some of that art was created by YOU.  Well not you, but by other folks who use the app.  But it [...]
