Some time ago, I decided to say goodbye to Microsoft Office forever, and completely switch over to Pages and Keynote. It was an easy decision for me: I wasn’t a heavy Office user anyway, preferring to keep most of my documents online, and using the application primarily to open client .doc files and the occasional

Joke as much as you like about Martha Stewart, the lady is a powerhouse. No, I never thought her face would be one I’d see so often on on my iPhone, but that was before I discovered Martha’s Everyday Food App, which I now officially cannot live without. Everyone has to eat, everyday, and if

You might think otherwise, but I actually use very few iPhone apps on a daily basis. Here’s one I use several times a day, though: WordPress for iPhone. If you run or write for a WordPress-powered blog (both self-hosted WP and .com are supported), this app is a no-brainer. Not only does it allow you

Music, music, everywhere. It’s how I like my life, which is why we have music in every room in our home- from our bedroom to our kitchen to our bathroom (because there’s nothing quite like showering to Yo-Yo Ma after a long, tiring day).

When I organize fonts on my Mac, I like to keep a special category for System and Application fonts that should always be active (i.e. the “necessary” ones), and all the rest (as a print and web designer, I have a lot) in several categories that I turn on and off according to my needs.

I don’t have a Kindle, and while I save up for an iPad, I still need my reading fix. Lately, I’ve been doing it mostly at Ibis Reader, an “e-book reading system” that works on desktops, laptops and smartphones. Now, public domain books are not a new thing online- remember when you first discovered Project

There’s always been something strange about me and alarm clocks: in College- and, I’ll admit, even way past that- I required no less than three clocks to get me up, each one set about a minute apart. I’ve been known to turn an alarm off and go back to sleep, and not remember a thing

Christopher Nolan’s Memento is one of my favorite films, and it’s what came to mind when I first learned of Momento, a journal writing iPhone app that’s quickly become my virtual “diary” of choice. See, I’ve been journaling since I was 5 years old- I have boxes full of almost every kind of diary, from

What are the first pages you load when you fire up your browser in the morning? For me, it’s Gmail and Google Reader (yes, I am quite dependent on the almighty G). Of course, that’s for mornings when I actually have time to enjoy a cup of coffee in front of my desktop, that is.

I was an English Literature Major, so you’ll understand if I’m more than just a little excited about my new find on the iTunes Store: it’s called Lit2Go, and it’s a collection of classic stories and poems, yours to download and listen to for free. There’s a good selection, with something for almost everybody, from
