Up until yesterday there was something I hated almost as much as going to the dentist: Completing my monthly expense reports. I disliked it so much that each year I'd start out keeping up and by December I'd be at least six months behind. Yesterday, all that changed when I discovered Expensify. The … [Read more...]
iPhone 4S turn-by-turn GPS navigation review
When I switched from the htc EVO 4G Android to the iPhone 4S, one of the features I missed almost immediately was turn-by-turn GPS navigation.

iPhone 4S apps I use
Over the past month of iPhone 4S ownership, I've come to depend on several apps to make the device more useful to me.

The case for an iPhone 4S case
A week ago I decided I needed a case for my new iPhone 4S. After three days with the new phone, it was clear I'd eventually drop it without a case and I also wanted to protect the iPhone 4S from scratches and dings.

Former Android user's initial iPhone 4S impressions
About 30 hours ago, UPS delivered an iPhone 4S to my door. It's my very first iPhone and it replaced one of the hottest Android devices: the htc EVO 4G. I've already chronicled my history with smart phones in How I use my htc EVO for social media, so this post will focus on my impressions of moving … [Read more...]
How the Apple Genius Bar sold an iPhone 4S
Regular readers of this blog know I own and love my htc EVO 4G mobile device. I've even written a few posts about how to resolve the one drawback of the device and double its battery life. So why would a devoted Android fan have just pre-ordered an Apple iPhone 4S (which should arrive later today)? … [Read more...]
