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.

30 years ago today the PC was born. My father has been working in the computer industry for about that long as well, so we have had a PC in our house pretty much that entire time. Some of my earliest memories include playing around on a PC, long before there was a graphical interface. Back then you had to know what you wanted to do, because you had to …
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.

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.
