Crushed Ego

picture-13I just downloaded a great new app for my iPod Touch by Garret Murray called "Ego". I've heard some really good things about it, so I decided to download it a take it for a spin. I'll just say this, it's a great app. It looks great, and adding widgets couldn't be easier.

Seeing as this is the first blog post I've written in quite some time, it's needless to say that I'm now depressed, as the numbers I'm seeing are very sad. :( Not that I'm making excuses, but this site has definitely taken a back seat to my daughter and my full time job at Google. Hopefully in the near future, I'll be able to show some dedication to this site, and start writing again. In the meantime, go download this app. Regardless of the numbers you see, it's worth the $1.99.

The Deal with Twitter

Apr

I've mentioned in a previous post my confusion as to the popularity of Twitter. This is exactly what I was talking about:

I will say, that recently, after attending SxSW, I figured out the value of Twitter. Before arriving in Austin, I cleaned out my friends list, and now only follow people I know, especially those that attended SxSW. This made it easy to figure out where people were, and how to meet up with them. So, it's no longer a mystery to me, however, I still don't spend much time with it either.

iPod Touch is Nice

Dec

iPod TouchMy beautiful and very awesome wife bought me a 16Gb iPod Touch for Christmas this year, and I must say, I absolutely love it. I never intended to get an iPhone because I just can't stand the fact that you have to go with AT&T as your carrier. I've been satisfied with T-Mobile, and really didn't want to leave them. So, the Touch was a great alternative. I've been playing around with It for a few days now, and I'm in love. What's to love you ask? Let me list them for you:

  • Wi-Fi access
  • Direct access to iTunes
  • The App Store
  • Video playback: I can now carry this on a plane to watch movies on as opposed to lugging around my laptop all the time
    Music library
  • Touch screen: this thing is phenomenal. I thought the typing on it would be difficult, but to my pleasant surprise, it's very easy to get used to. In fact, I'm writing this entire post with it right now.
  • My favorite part, however, is the personalized engraving that my wife had put on the back.

Overall, I would absolutely recommend an iPod Touch to anyone. It has nearly everything the iPhone has, except for the phone service, and the constant Internet access. Personally, I can do without this. That is what my Blackberry is for. ;)
