- Technology / Shoots & Leaves Instantly Turns iPhone Photos Into Links
- Yet another photography app for the iPhone. Each one tries to find its niche and this one want to be a notepad replacement, in some ways. I still use the basic iPhone camera app as I haven't found one that offers me additional value.
- Technology / 45 Stunning Calendar Icon Sets For Free Download
- For folks like me who design and maintain their own web sites, having a nice set of icons on hands, let alone 45 of them, can be very helpful. Free makes them even better and easier to try out.

- My gifted Chromecast has become my go-to media player of choice, so it only makes sense to read up on how to get the most from it.
- Technology / SaveDeo Downloads Videos from Instagram, Flickr and Other Video Sites
- There are times when you just need to save that online content locally, especially since content disappears from the Internet every day. My college professor wife has been saved by a quick download on a number of occasions, as she has recommended content to her students, that has subsequently disappeared.
- Technology / Five Best Programming Languages for First-Time Learners
- Want to dive in and learn a little about programming? Here are 5 great suggestions for places to start.
- Technology / Stream videos to your iPhone, iPad from a PC/Mac with Plex and VLC for free

- Technology / One procedural universe, coming right up
- Sometimes technology can produce quite beautiful things. This software allows you to create and fly through a universe of your own making. The article calls out its usefulness for game design and I would add that writers might be able to use it too.
- Technology / iSelfie: a remote control for your iOS camera
- Selfie made it into the Oxford English Dictionary this year, so why shouldn't there be an app to make it even easier. I could see this also being useful in creating an iPad-based photo booth for parties and events.

- Again, anything that gets media onto my big screen is of interest to me -- and the simpler, the better.
- Technology / Kindle for iOS updated with flashcards, notebook filters and better search

- Technology / EnLighten tells you when your traffic light is going to change
- An odd app for iPhone, but one I want to try out. Not yet available to work here in Los Angeles, but I like trying out a wide variety of apps, so this one has made it to my phone in preparation for its availability here.
