Phones & AppsI’m doing a complete rewrite of this post as I found a better (cleaner) way to do this via an app. My initial post was using an app called Tweetcaster. It worked well enough and offered a free version, but there were some quirks with the filtering that made it a bit cumbersome. This way is MUCH easier. Step one: Acquire iPhone. Go download Echofon for Twitter (available in Free or Pro versions – difference [...]

Phones & Apps Random ThoughtsIf you haven’t figured out by now, I’m fairly social… OK, OK, I may not really be a “people person” … but I like to pretend I’m social on the internet. I use a lot of “social” apps (look to the right!) and I tend to be somewhat an early adopter as far as those things go. Foursquare is an obvious example of this… I started using it back in March of last year and [...]

Random ThoughtsI’m still torn in wondering if this is just some strange spam or not… but I don’t think so. I got an email from someone claiming to be “Ann Place” from The Daily. You know, that fancy new iPad news app? The text of the email goes like this: Hi Allan You may have seen speculation about ‘The Daily’ in the press over the past few weeks, but I’d like you and the readers of [...]

Nerdy Things Phones & AppsSo there’s this iPad thing… I just bought one. I’ve been throwing around the idea since they came out. In my head it could just be another cool toy to occasionally play with but I’m hoping I can find more value in it than that. I knew I couldn’t just go buy one randomly and be like “wow, I have an iPad… now what?” I needed to at least make an attempt to justify it [...]

Nerdy ThingsI’m sure I haven’t even touched close to half of the actual location-based or checkin-based games/apps/whatever that are out there. And I’m starting to get overloaded. Currently I’m a regular on Foursquare and have started playing around with Miso and MyTown. Foursquare is fine. It has become my default. But it also has competitors (mainly Gowalla and Britekite – neither of which I’ve touched at all). Foursquare just seems to be the most widely used [...]

The Life of MeI’ve been trying to be consistent about my workouts at the gym. That includes knowing what weight I’ve been lifting, how many reps, and which machines I regularly use. So far I’ve been tracking all of this with iFitness (iTunes link) on my phone (started some time mid-March). I think it works OK. Not exactly what I’d like out of it – but from what I saw of some of the other apps, this fits [...]

Phones & AppsAccording to 1Password on my iPhone, I have 70 different passwords. That’s for websites, work stuff, certain applications, etc. And I know for a fact that is not all of them. Those are just the ones that I remember to enter in. I’m actually pretty good about remembering my passwords. But it’s a PITA to have to do a “forgot password” thing for some website I haven’t logged into in 6 months or something. It [...]

Phones & AppsI haven’t really shopped for games a lot recently… been busy with so many other things that gaming on my iPhone has really taking sort of a backseat, or trunk position, if you will… In looking up travel apps the other day I thought I’d poke around a bit and see what else I could find. One of the top sellers I found is called Trenches. It’s kind of a WWII trench warfare game. You [...]

Phones & AppsI get to play with a whole slew of new iPhone apps! Or at least try out a bunch of new ones. Not 100% sure what I’m going with yet… but considering I’ll be in a new area and will need to track expenses and such, there are plenty of opportunities for new apps. First few I’m looking at are these: TripCase – Trying to arrange my travel plans in a simple way. Includes flight [...]

Phones & Apps Random ThoughtsOK Pizza Hut. We get it. You sell chicken wings now – though I’m still trying to figure out what “award” they have actually won. I finally broke down and ordered a dozen 10 piece tonight. Got an order of medium traditional. The spice was about the only thing that seemed OK. The wings themselves were on the small side and were pretty crappy IMO. The meat even wasn’t that good. Was tender enough but [...]
