Tips and Product Picks

  • LEGO mini-figs to hold Apple lightning and other thin cables.
  • MMS support added to Google Voice. Enables support for Fandango movie tickets and other image based text messages.
  • Diaries — the kind you might actually keep up with. Or for the young crowd: a social network of one.
    • Day One (Mac OS / iOS). Reminds you to write entries, gives you prompts to get you thinking (i.e. “What was your favorite game in childhood?”).
    • Evernote emailed with tags. Shorthand: @notebook #tag in email subject to auto categorize.
    • Automating your life: Hazel & Keyboard Maestro for Mac OS X, IFTTT and Dropbox as a go-between.
