Ok, so I finally finished the video and got it uploaded. This week we are taking a look at Evernote, a note taking app that syncs all of your text, picture, and voice notes across all of you devices.

*Update*
I'm using a new video program and it is taking a lot longer than I thought it would. I will have it up as soon as I can.

SketchParty TV from Magnate Interactive

Technology has a way of connecting people even though there are vast distances between them. However, this is being distorted to actually make people more distanced from their real personal relationships between friends and family. People are spending more time on their iPads and smart phones and less time having face to face conversations. Don't think this is an anti-tech post, after all we are all about the best technology here at Chuckles the Techie. This is all about an app from up and coming developer Magnate Interactive called SketchParty TV for iPad + Apple TV. This game will bring your friends and family together and create some great fun. This is a party game that requires at least one iPad. It technically doesn't require an Apple TV but you would need the A/V cables to connect to a TV. The optional Apple TV makes the game much more fun allowing you to connect the iPad wirelessly to the TV.

The concept is simple: there are two teams up to 8 players per team; each team takes turns with one player holding the iPad; the one player attempts to draw a word with their finger or stylus on the virtual canvas which shows up on the TV for the team to try and guess what is being drawn.
