the friday five

Something you might not know about me, is I love technology.  Yep, I'm a bit of a tech nerd.  And proud of it.  Since I began this blogging thing, I've learnt so much about web/blog design, fonts and IT in general.  So today, I give you my current nerdy crushes...

1 //  glittery fonts/social media buttons/logos
Just like fashion, blogs have trends too.  Lately I've noticed a lot of glitter appearing and I'm loving it.  I've almost worked out how to whip up my own gold glittery social media buttons, so stay tuned!

2  //  my brand spanking new mac book air
Because he never does things by halves, Scott gave me one of these babies for Christmas and I love it sick.  The poor old iPad never gets a look in anymore as the skinny little mac book air is all I use these days.  But don't feel too sorry for the iPad and she was the original model and according to the kid at Apple that I chatted to the other day (about cables and other interesting nerdy things) the first iPad is "positively vintage."

3 //  kate spade and her gorgeous mac book air cover
I do love me a bit of kate spade and this cover is no exception.  It's bright and a little bit fancy.  And we  all know I'm a big fan of fancy.

4  //  go pro
This cool little video camera is completely waterproof and comes with all sorts of accessories that allows you to tape yourself while surfing, skiing, snowboarding, wake boarding, cycling, dune buggy driving etc.  God knows when I'd ever use it (is shopping a sport?), but Scott has decided to take up surfing, which of course he'll have nailed in no time at all, so attaching a go pro to his hand and leaping into the surf to create hardcore surfing videos makes perfect sense.

5  //  keynote
This little app is where I create all the collages for the blog (like the one above).  The lovely Ashley from the blog One Fine Day put me onto it and it's completely changed my blogging style.  Ashley's blog is beautiful and she's currently doing some fab posts that are jam packed with blogging tips and tricks, which you might be interested in. 

How about you?  What nerdy things do you love?  Do tell...
