How My Organization Tools Have Changed
A while back I wrote about how I stay organized. The process isn’t dramatically different, but the gear has changed and I’ve gotten some questions about it – so here’s an update!

Switching to Apple’s Native Apps
Since iOS 11 came out, I’ve been forming new opinions on apps and what I want to use on my phone. When I was an Android user, I would try not to pay for apps, and had reasonable success doing so. Call it the open source mentality, sure, but Google also had pretty great native …
100 Words 006
Is it, ‘$30 good’? We live in an interesting world where apps, likely because there is not physical product just a download, are expected to be cheap or free. Video games are still $60 a shot, but an app that will make you more productive is $30 and it gets questioned. I asked that very …
Learning Italian with my Downtime
Lately I’ve been driving/traveling a lot, and I have a feeling that will be happening a bit more due to my newfound flexibility in where I can work. It’s been pretty standard that I listen to music or play games (or you know, read a book), but I’ve decided to try something different. See, the …
The Mobile Web App Developer’s Dilemma

10 Android Apps the Make my Life Easier

With college starting up again after the holiday break and what I’m sure is many students heading back to school with a shiny new iPad, I figured it might be good to offer a list of apps I’d find useful as a student.
USA Today, WSJ, and NYT iPad Apps
Earlier in the week I said the iPad is best for consuming information, so it only makes sense that I’d mention the top three news apps for it: USA Today, Wall Street Journal, and NY Times. I haven’t used all of  them extensively though I did want to compare some of the basic features of each. …
AppBrain for Android
A week or so ago, Gina Trapani wrote on her website about AppBrain, an Android app that inventories your apps, makes recommendations, and makes it easier to manage them. I installed it and played around with it, and have go to say, I’ve actually started using it more than the native Marketplace App. Read my …
Droid Accessories
To continue my love affair with the Droid, today I’m writing about the Droid accessories I use the most. I created an Amazon Listmaina List of my favorite accessories, and I will likely continue to add to them as I use more. Here are the five I use the most.
