My favorite app of the week: Caffeine

Do you ever get annoyed because your Mac screen turns off regardless of your screensaver or timeout/security preferences?  Well, I do.  There are  a few times when I want to keep the screen on because when it blanks out and password locks it causes my proxy or other apps to somehow jam or disconnect. I […]

The Magic of Apps

Before I used the magic app – fat, tired and porous After using the magic app – skinnier, happier and with more makeup! No wonder no one trusts dating profile pictures! I didn’t realize how tired I looked until I looked at the after picture. Boo hoo.

swackett makes weather fun

Are you sick of those same old boring weather reports?  The one where it shows you a cloud or a sun, but doesn’t really do anything for you?  Then you might enjoy Swackett.  It is a cute app – Mac Desktop or iPad or iPhone that actually gives you some useful weather information.  Like what […]

Android App of the Week: Muni Alerts Pro

Hello, San Franciscans!  If you live in the city and take Muni, then this is the app for you.  Muni Alerts Pro by Ross McFarland.   I use this thing pretty much on a daily basis to figure out when I have to tromp my butt up to the J-Church and also on my way […]

Please, God. I hope this is a joke. CLOO - toilet sharing app

If this isn’t a joke, then it is definitely a sign of a BUBBBBBBLLLLLLEEEEEEEE (in case you weren’t already convinced). Honestly, I really don’t want random people showing up at my doorstep to take a dump.  But, hey, maybe that is just me. Here’s a riddle: How many public bathrooms are there in your city? […]

Android App of the Week: SuperShuttle

I am a cheapskate.  I admit it.  Not when it comes to gadgets, but when it comes to other things that I deem not worthy like hitching a ride to the airport.  It seems like a ripoff to spend $55 to get to the airport when it only takes 20 minutes tops in SF, so […]

Starbucks for Android

via starbucks.com I am a coffee fiend. I admit it. I drink a lot of Starbucks. People in SF think I am the anti-Christ because I drink the ‘bucks’. I don’t care what they think. And now instead of paying with my little card, I can pay with my Android phone. Finally. And you can […]

Android App of the Week: PhotoWall Live Wallpaper

via market.android.com I love this app. I have it set my wallpaper from my favorite images and it auto refreshes on whatever frequency I choose. There is an upgraded version that does trickier image settings and for only $0.99 why not? You can also have it pull from Facebook photos – your own and your […]
