Day Six. App Six. ePrint.

Are you one of those people who was all excited about the fact that you could wirelessly print from your phone or your tablet?  We know, we know… you thought “I will be so much more efficient because I can vacuum/change the oil in the car/take a shower while simultaneously downloading and printing my report/knitting pattern/Christmas … Continue reading →

Day Five. App Five. Lose It.

It seems to us that you’ve been spending a lot of time sitting around on your computer lately.  You need a little motivation to get off your tush and “move it move it.”  That’s what we’re here for (not really, but if you need a personal coach, we can try to be that for you … Continue reading →

Day Four. App Four. Postagram/SincerelyInk.

What will it be today?  You already maximized your brain power,  identified the song you were mindlessly humming, and painlessly organized your christmas list (in the process realizing that in fact you do have three gifts for your sister and nothing for your father-in-law…good thing you got organized and realized that early!).  So, what other … Continue reading →

Otto tells it like it is

Many tech reviews are long-winded and really a bit like watching the trailer to a movie, where nothing is new when you actually go to see the movie. Well, this tech site is short and to the point. You’ll be lucky if we even say hello before we tell you what you need to get. … Continue reading →

Mint.com

I’ve just begun using an app called Mint on myiPhone and iPad and I think it has the potential to make me a better manager of our money.  In our house we’ve been fortunate enough for awhile to not have to live paycheck to paycheck, but with that financial freedom, we have slowly become less … Continue reading →
