Today's post is an audio review of the "Uzu" iPad app by Anthony's 23-month-old cousin Jena, who is visiting Grandma and Grandpa at the same time we are.

Jena gave this review yesterday, aged 1 year 11 months 0 days.

I really need to find a 12-step support group, or something, to help wean me off of Lightroom plugin development. I was already way behind on everything before Lightroom 3 came out, and then was inundated with email from that as I tried to get all my plugins upgraded. But then I took time out to indulge in some new development, which yielded my new PhotoSafe plugin, but left me even further behind on email and blog comments.
