Just wanted to comment on some sweet iPhone apps I have found useful, fun, or just a must have….

  • Darkness - Just a interesting app with clock, weather, sunset, sunrise and other info about any city of choice… [App Store Link]
  • iStat - Great app to view stats like battery life, memory used, IP, load of your iPhone. But the best part is you can view the same information on any machine you run their server app. So I am to monitor the CPU, memory and network activity of my MacMini at home.  Very neat! [App Store Link]
  • MyFantasyTeams Pro - If you are a yahoo Fantasy sports user, then this is a must have, easy to manage your team, read/write on discussion board, check scores, etc. Could use some work on add/drop/trade functionality but a must have. [App Store Link]
  • iCommuteSF - If you are San Franciscoan (is that right?) that used Muni, then another must have.  Saves your favorites stops or finds nearby stops.  Could help with determine routes and each stop but still very quick and useful. [App Store Link]
  • IM+   - If you enjoy or rely on Instant Messaging Apps such as AOL, jabber, iChat, GTalk, MSN, yahoo, facebook, etc. - then this will keep you connected and utilizes Apples Push notification service… Since I use IM for work, this helps be stay connected when I’m not at my desk (but they don’t know that).[App Store Link]
  • Bump - Another sweet app that makes it super easy to trade contact information with other ‘Bump’ users. just a 1 time setup to choose what contact info you wish to share, then just bump away, this now actually makes a ‘fist bump’ productive…[App Store Link]
  • Rowmote Pro - For those with Media Center computers (Computer connected to a TV) then this can turn your iPhone/touch into a wireless remote mouse.  can move the mouse, run applications, virtual keyboard… this has been essential for my to access my MacMini connected to my HDTV while the MacMini is tucked away in a drawer. [App Store Link]
  • Prowl - For user of Growl, this is a must have. Prowl essentially allows a computer to notify you of whatever you wish using Apple’s Push notification service. Most would use this to turn their Gmail account into a Push email service but I also use it to monitor my MacMini while i’m away. If a drive crashes, etc - i can get notified real time. [App Store Link]  
  • Where to go? - This app has replace AroundMe and iWant as those were deemed to inconsistent.  This one is still under evaluation but we’ll see. [App Store Link]
  • KillerDeals - big fan of ChainLove? bonktown? SteepandCheap?  Then this is a one-stop app to view it all in a easy to view app with fast load times.  Its easy to make purchases too… [App Store Link]

Okay this is enough for now.. I will add more later when I have time….  Please post feedback on these apps and let me know if you agree or disagree.

Diablo this Saturday and it was awesome!!!! Defintely a tough ride if you aren’t trained for the hills. Most of us were fairly new to hills so it was a challenge. But we did make it to the top in about 90 minutes or so…

17 Ways to Not Be a Complete Git

There are plenty of web lists out there that will tell you how to do very specific things. You can learn all about shampooing your cat, organizing your pantry, and making intricate stained-glass VW Beetle ornaments…but how many resources are there to remind you how to be a decent person? These are the things we really need to know.

1. Learn how to use a public restroom correctly. News flash: it is NOT ok to neglect flushing in a public restroom, even if you fear the germs on the flusher handle.

2. Do not be a creepy date. This applies to men and women equally. We’ve all gone out with the weirdo who wants to move way too fast or who simply won’t accept it when you say you don’t want to see them again. Don’t be that weirdo.

3. Hold the door open for the person behind you. Some people think that other people will be offended if they hold the door open. These people were obviously raised by wolves. It is never rude to continue holding open a door that you have just passed through for the person directly behind you who is approaching the same door. In fact, you might say it is a little rude to let the door smack them in the face instead.

4. Don’t say the same phrase or punchline over and over, no matter how funny you think it is. (This is slightly more forgivable when you’re drunk.)

5. Don’t use your cellular phone while ordering a coffee, eating a meal, going through the checkout at a store, driving, or doing anything else that requires human interaction with people who are right in front of you.

6. When in a public place, people more than 5 feet from your group (or from you and your cell phone) shouldn’t be able to hear your every word. Use your polite voice, not your broadcast-everything-to-the-entire-establishment voice.

7. When grocery shopping, always leave enough room for other people to get by you in the aisle.

9. Instead of nonchalantly flipping your business card at people by way of introduction, try shaking their hand and introducing yourself.

10. No matter how compellingly luscious you find your perfume or cologne, it’s guaranteed that at least some other people will find it repulsive. Don’t bathe in it before going out.

11. Learn how to park your car. Taking up two or three spaces with your Hummer is not acceptable, even if you are “just running in for a minute.”

12. Likewise for parking in handicapped spots if you’re not.

13. Don’t rabidly push your views on other people. The chances are that you’ll just make them stick even more strongly to their own inferior convictions anyway.

14. It is only acceptable to speak in kitty pidgin for a maximum period of two weeks after discovering LOLCats.

15. Understand personal boundaries, both physical and otherwise. Pushing your shopping cart into the backside of the person in front of you in line is a violation of personal space. Asking a complete stranger whether she dyes her hair is almost as intrusive.

16. Talking about biological functions in public? Not so considerate. Performing bodily functions in public? Even less so.

17. Be polite. It’ll get you a lot farther than you may think. In fact, being a good person and respecting other people - even when their opinions are different from yours - will get you a much better reaction than being rude and insulting.
