iMovie: The Crazed Toddler
I’ve been playing with iMovie lately. It is so fun to create movies & edit! Here is the trailer for the movie I’m working on with my friend Bree. It’s called “The Crazed Toddler” and my little sister Jessie is in it. Me and my fried Bree are secret agents on a mission to catch the Crazed Toddler who is played by Jessie.
Razor Flashrider 360: TinyTechie’s 1st Giveaway!
TinyTechie's 1st Giveaway! The Razor Flashrider 360!
The Razor Flashrider 360 is a fun three wheel bike to ride that spins and sparks. What’s fun about the Flashrider 360 is that you can spin really fast and easy by just slightly turning the handle bars. The back wheels are on casters which makes the whole bike spin. When you pull on the lever, it makes a trail of sparks behind you. Be sure to wear your helmet and sneakers. Your parents might want to be nearby to make sure you’re safe. This bike is so cool! As a thank you to my friend Ryan for testing the bike with me on my TinyTechieTV video, I let him have the bike to keep. I surprised him at the end of our ride. My first TinyTechie giveaway! Hopefully I’ll have more fun things to review and giveaway to my readers. My mom took this video while rollerblading next to us. What an exciting day!

Doodlecast for Kids
My mom’s friend (I call her Auntie Candice) said I might like this app called Doodlecast for Kids by TickleTap Apps. So I tried it today and I really like it! Here’s my first animation using the app. I played “It Will Rain” by Bruno Mars on my iPod speakers using it. I like how it records sound while you’re drawing. So you can tell stories with your art if you want to.

Facebook game: CityVille by Zynga
Screen Shot of Tiny Techie's CityVille
I’m addicted to CityVille! I play at least twice a day. There are so many things to do. The object of this game is to build up your population. The citizens of your city are either happy, unhappy or sad, depending on how you create their surroundings. To make your people happy, you need to build more houses or community buildings. To build there is a “build” button on the bottom right corner.
Just so you know, business buildings or decorations won’t really help your population grow. They will help you get more coins or XP. XP are stars that give you the ability to reach higher levels.
On the left/right sides you will see goals. If you achieve your goals, you will earn rewards like coins, cash or things to put in your city. Another thin you need to have is crops. To plant your crops, you should have an empty farm plot. If you click on the farm plot, it will show you different kinds of crops. For example, you can have strawberries, carrots, corn, plums and more!
Once you harvest crops, they will be transported into their boxes then become goods. After that, you will see that some of your buildings need goods. So you can click on the building thta needs them and send the good to that building. When the whole limit of customers get served, you can collect the XP and/or money.
You don’t have to just harvest crops to receive goods. Later on you will unlock a train platform or a pier with boats, which is another way to receive goods. You might not unlock those things right away. You need to either have lots of neighbors or achieve a certain level.
To play this game, you need lots of energy. To get energy you can ask your neighbors, visit a neighbor’s city or collect them from buildings. So make sure you post on Facebook and get your friends to play CityVille with you!

Tiny Techie at Web Wise Kids Event!
Turnip Rose in Costa Mesa, CA
On Thursday September 15th I attended an event for Web Wise Kids called Dancing Under the Stars, celebrating Champions for Children. It was at the Turnip Rose in Costa Mesa. Web Wise Kids invited me to speak about internet safety.
The dinner was fantastic! I had chicken and mashed potato in a martini glass! That was my favorite. There was lots of fun auction items too! Like video games, Sea World tickets, vacations, autographed Kobe Bryant Lakers jersey, signed Alyssa Milano photo, kid’s BMWs, purses, and more!
Actress Elisa Donvan shared her experience growing up as an artist. I liked hearing her stories about being creative.
And then it was my turn to speak! I was so excited to do it! At first, I felt kind of nervous. I told my mom I had butterflies in my stomach. But once I got up there I was fine. It turned out to be really fun!
There were some dancers too! Kelly Connolly (from Dancing With the Stars) and Andrew Pirozzi danced to the song “Time of My Life” by Bill Medley. They were amazing! A really talented kid dancer named Tony Slipp did a cool Michael Jackson routine.
The desserts were yummy. The chocolate covered strawberries were my favorite. They looked like tuxedos! I was happy to meet Monique and Judi from Web Wise Kids too!

Razor eSpark Electric Scooter
TinyTechie reviews the Razor eSpark!
The Razor eSpark electric scooter is really cool and here’s why – It not only has sparks, but it’s also motorized! You just plug it in to recharge it. To turn it on, there is an on/off switch on the side. It lights up when it’s on. Instead of laying it down on the ground like my regular Razor scooter, the eSpark has a mini-kickstand like a bike. That’s one of my favorite parts of this scooter! To use the eSpark, you have to push off with your feet and twist the right handlebar to go. You can go up to 10 miles an hour! To stop, there is a hand brake on the left handlebar. For safety, always wear a helmet and sneakers. Not flip-flops. Make sure you have an adult watch you. You have got to try the Razor eSpark! It is extremely fun!
