April 9th: Articles Round Up

Since I’ve been travelling and sick for the last few weeks I haven’t really done a good job of promoting some articles I’ve written across the web. In-case you missed it, here are some of my better works!

Redesigned USA Today is Better than Ever: I review USA Today’s latest release for Android, focusing on a new design and some really great features! (@droidappstorm)

Manage Your Information Securely with Dashlane: Dashlane has quickly become one of my favorite apps. In this review I take a look at the Android version. (@droidappstorm)

Do Just About Anything with Freshbooks for iPhone: I review my favorite accounting software’s new iPhone app. Spoiler: It’s pretty amazing. (@iphoneappstorm)

Keep Tabs on New Movie Releases with eTrizzle: This interest little aggregator for Android could use some finness but has a lot of potential!  (@droidappstorm)

Also, I’ve been tapped for a weekly spot over at Android.Appstorm, so be sure to check back there every Tuesday for my latest article!

My Next 10 Books

NEPAWP: WordPress is Installed… Now What?

Join us for the next NEPA WordPress Meetup, March 26th (this Tuesday) at 7pm at The Vintage Theater. My friend and colleague Phil Erb will be giving a talk called WordPress is Installed…Now What?. From the website:

PS- I know this blog has been really self-promoty lately, but I’m working on some cool stuff that I’ll hopefully be able to talk about soon, so stay tuned!
