Evernote: Organize Your Personal and Business Lives

Evernote: Organize Your Personal and Business Lives

I used to have a daily planner – a bee-u-tee-ful leather-bound, chunky book that was bursting with sticky notes and was essentially my brain, and I couldn’t function properly without consulting it first.

Best Waterproof Device Covers

My girlfriend just took a weekend trip to the beach, and totally unplugged. When she came back to reality, she realized just how much she missed, and vowed to never do that again. For myself, unplugging completely just is not going to happen.

Aloqa App: Find Everything Faster

Aloqa App: Find Everything Faster

Sometimes your smartphone can do so many things that it’s a little overwhelming – I mean, I know I can find a million Starbucks locations with my Android. But when I’m standing on a corner in Santa Barbara after I hit up the zoo with my kids and I’m looking for one, I want to find one, fast. Probably a McDonalds for the kids too while I’m at it.

What is StumbleUpon?

What is StumbleUpon?

If you’ve ever seen a little green and blue swirly ball at the top of pages and wondered what it was, I’m here to tell you: it’s StumbleUpon. The Internet is a huge place, and finding relevant information can be a bit daunting at times. Searching on the main engines brings up good results, but then you have to sort through and decide what is good and what isn’t.
