My iPhone Home Screen Today. I'll admit it, I Sort...
I love my home screen of my iPhone and if your app makes it there, let alone the bottom app bar, you deserve huge kudos. I take these 20 locations very seriously and strive to minimize the number of swipes/taps to launch my most common apps. That said though, once I get my set of apps on the home screen, I’m constantly sorting by color…it just looks cool!
There’s the obvious...
Search App Store/iTunes
Have you ever had someone say, “O man, have you checked out this new app?” and thought, “Ya, I’ve heard of it and I think I downloaded it a few weeks back”. You go to the search area, type in the app name, but it doesn’t show up. It is here I ask Apple a question…when you search through my apps and my music, but don’t find it, why isn’t ‘Search App...

Watch out Mark Cuban, Zuck and those Google guys, Sahil Lavingia is coming.
I’ve been following @shl for about a year now and he continues to impress me with his design, vision, hard work and overall awesomeness. I wanted to write about him because he’s a perfect example of what our country needs more of. He had some great opportunities growing up, like having a computer and a stable internet...
John Adams & Declaration of Independence
I started watching the HBO mini-series John Adams last night and was moved to read the Declaration of Independence for the first time in years. What an amazing document, I highly recommend you give it a read again. Here’s a few of my favorite quotes.
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for people to dissolve the political bands…declare the causes to the...

Holy Infographics!
If you know me, you know I love me a good infographic. Good design + Cool information = great experience. First off SwissMiss posted the above graphic on average lifespans for various animals. Pretty creative and taken for an even more impressive body of work detailing the history of “ISOTYPE” - The international Systemof Typographic Picture Education…aka, infographics. :)

Mobile Usage from Bit.ly
How cool is this!? Bit.ly analyzed the links shared for the entire year of 2011 by mobile device vs browser. I’m fascinated by the sheer volume of data they were able to process and as their blog points out, the most interesting part of this graph is the mini-peaks and valleys for smart-phones and tablets between 10am-2pm for phones and 4pm-8pm for tablets. It’s like you can see the...

How To: A New Album Every Time You Sync Your...
When I bought my iPhone 4S, I opted for the 16GB model, mostly because I sync my phone a couple times a week clearing photos, videos and other data. I underestimated how much data 1080 HD video takes up and I would suggest future buyers to go for the 32GB upgrade. The other major data source on the phone is of course music.
I consider myself a bit of a music hound, getting dozens of new albums a...
Nokia Lumia 900: Better than the iPhone (Yes,...
Although I’ve had a Nokia Lumia 900 at work for a few month now, the device is now official after being unveiled at CES this week. I can’t say I’m surprised that it’s getting some pretty great reviews. Hell, even Apple fanboy MG Siegler is getting in on the positive reaction. I used the device around the office as my daily phone for about two weeks and was in love with it...

Cheap Truck vs Expensive Car for Long Road Trip:...
Alright, here’s the scene…we are planning our holiday trip up to Maine from NYC and looking to rent a car. Since very few people do heavy work or move apartments through the holidays, trucks are really cheap…about $50 cheaper! That said though, what about the cost of gas? Everyone knows how much I love data, so I did some maths and put together the following analysis.

How Much Does it Cost to Eat In? A Detailed...
To say I let myself go this summer is a huge understatement. I have been blessed with a high metabolism and certainly recognize how lucky I am to be able to eat almost anything I want. In general, I try to stick to a healthy diet, focusing on incorporating lots of greens and “real foods” (i.e. nothing pre-packaged/pre-made), never eating fast food (In ‘n Out doesn’t count :), but my diet is...
Alien Movie Reviews: Alien Nation:... →
alienmoviereviews:
I’m not one for old movies, which I define as anything before 1995, and a sci-movie from the 80s that’s watchable is incredibly hard to come by. So, that said, I went into this movie with extremely low expectations.
Overall, Alien Nation is simply a cop movie with aliens added in, but…

AirPlay Mirroring: A First Look
I’ve written multiple times about how much I was looking forward to AirPlay mirroring on the iPhone 4S (and iPad 2). I got a new Apple TV from the Apple Store last week, which strangely not have the latest firmware, and performed an upgrade. So, now that you have an Apple TV and an iPad 2 running iOS 5.0 or an iPhone 4S…now what? I Google’d around a bit and didn’t see anything well written so I...
iPhone 4 vs 4S
I was lucky enough to be one of the first few hundred people in NYC to get an iPhone 4S. I arrived a little bit after 7am and had my phone by 930am. See my earlier photo, but incredible how many people either camped overnight or were there by 4 or 5am.
The staff was very friendly (did their whole “YAAYY! and clapping upon entrance which was fun) and then allowed us to hang out in the...
