By David Precht / Posted 5.8.2013 / In Business, Reviews / 0 comments
Albumatic is simple: someone creates an album in Albumatic for an event or day, lots of people take pictures, people add the pictures to the album and everyone in your friends list has access to them if shared.
Duolingo: Learn languages online
By Lindsay McComb / Posted 5.7.2013 / In Business, Reviews / 0 comments
Language books are OK, but I don't really retain much. I'd like to watch more Spanish TV, but I need just a little more foundation. Enter Duolingo.
Twitter Music

Twitter Music is a site/app that allows users of Twitter to follow their favorite artists, get recommendations for new artists, see what people on Twitter are listening to and can integrate with Spotify or Rdio. You can listen to trending music, all in a slick interface. The bad news? You have to follow your favorite artists on Twitter.
Android to iPhone: A very cool betrayal
By Lindsay McComb / Posted 5.1.2013 / In Business, Reviews / 0 comments
Much to my surprise, I decided to switch to an iPhone 5 last month. After years of being a loyal and satisfied Android user, I took the plunge and changed sides. Well, I like it all right. But I still miss my Android. I feel like a very cool traitor.
Mailbox: It could be better
By David Precht / Posted 4.18.2013 / In Business, Reviews / 2 comments
Mailbox is also the kind of app for people who are extremely well organized or have a desire to become better organized. I’m the kind of organized where I read and answer emails readily, many of which languish in my inbox for weeks or months.

Low Events: Simple is golden
By Mike Wenger / Posted 4.16.2013 / In Code, ExpressionEngine, Reviews / 0 comments
Of the many things I love about ExpressionEngine, native events management is not one of them. What do you do if you need a location or other basic event field displayed in your calendar?

There is a curmudgeon in all of us. Whether you furiously tap at the ceiling with your broom because of the “rock music” or complain to ticket takers at the movie theater because the sound was “too loud,” there’s plenty of things to hate on. And now there’s another way to let the Internet know all about your hate!
WiFi on the go with Skype and Boingo
By Lindsay McComb / Posted 4.3.2013 / In Business, Reviews / 0 comments
While WiFi hot spot devices were an option, I didn't want to sign up for a two year contract for two weeks' worth of Internet. So while the personal, on-the-go WiFi devices were intriguing, I'm looking to see what I can tap into while I'm traveling. It's down to Boingo and Skype.
Automation: Yay or Nay?
By Terris Kremer / Posted 3.26.2013 / In Reviews / 0 comments
Let's talk about automation. From Merriam-Webster, automation is "the technique of making an apparatus, a process, or a system operate automatically". From me – the lazy developer – automation is the process of making sure we never have to do anything more than once, ever again. The question is, is automation a good thing for all of us?
