Thing 12

I remember when MP3 players came out. I didn't jump at buying one instantly because I had a ton of CDs and it seemed like a pain to get all my music on the device or pay again for music. Then I got a subscription to Napster and was hooked. The convenience of music on a device is phenomenal. 

I have used Shazam for years. I use it not only to identify music but also to tag music that I hear while I'm out and want to remember to download later.

Today I downloaded Spotify and spent a little time playing around with it. I like the combo of genres, playlists and searching.

Thing 11 AKA "MOMMMY, NOOOOOOOOO................"

My daughter (age 12) and her friends routinely use Instagram.  I monitor her pictures and posts periodically by picking up her iPad and doing some mom investigation.  I just got my own Instagram account and started following her.  As soon as she saw my request she ran to me with a look of horror and said, "MOMMY, NOOOOOOO...WHY ARE YOU ON INSTAGRAM?????"  I said, "Oh sweetie, don't worry about it.  I had to do it for work."  Thank you 19 Mobile Things for giving me an excuse to follow her!

Thing 10

I downloaded the Facebook Messenger app last night and synced it with my phone contacts.  Glad I did since I've had a constant notification from Facebook to do this since they introduced it.  Then I proceeded to engage in a questions only conversation via Messenger with my son.  It was fun to ask him a zillion questions instead of the other way around :)

BTW, it's very exciting that we're past the half way mark.  I'm anxiously awaiting my next badge!
