Springpad, Web App, Mobile App, Awesome
Finally, a note program that I like that works between my phone, my Mac, and my PC. Spring Pad is a cloud-based Web App that can do so much more than just take notes. You can create checklists, to-do items, have multiple notebooks with multiple types of notes and sync with your phone or tablet. On the computer your items are set up in an intuitive format with icon’s that tell you what is what and with an all inclusive icon for ‘All My Stuff.’ A fun feature of this web application is the ability to change the background to suit your style. The mobile app is very similar in its set up and seems to have no problem with syncing information. The only down fall to the mobile app is that the Board feature is not accessible, but this isn’t something that is detrimental to the performance or the functioning of the program, which will be discussed below.

Review: Immortals Saga: Immortal

When I first picked up this book up I was worried. I normally avoid books done by small publishers because I’m hardly ever impressed with them.

Finally A OneNote Alternative for Mac
When I switched from PC to Mac, giving up my notebook program, Microsoft Office OneNote, was one of my main concerns. OneNote was fantastic for keeping track of all my writing notes, and I needed something to replace it before I was willing to switch. My research turned up Growly Notes; it’s a very similar program and has all the features I needed.

Think Before You Post

We all know that social networking sites are becoming a part of life quickly. Nearly everyone has a Facebook, Twitter, or some even have the dying Myspace accounts, but here’s something not many people think about, the budding of social networking background checks. That’s right, now not only do you have to pass a criminal background check, you may have to be concerned about what kind of information you’ve willingly gave to the public on websites. Now, there are professional social networking sites such as LinkedIn, which may help your case, but may not be able to out balance any negative connotations you’ve racked up through your other sites.

By Book or By Nook


I love the smell of books, I love the feel of them in my hands, how they look on the shelf, okay let’s face it, I just love books, but I also own a Nook. That’s why I was interested in Barnes and Noble’s new campaign that encourages reading. “By Nook or by book, I will read.” The love of books something that I took from my childhood, many people of my generation grew up in the booming time of electronics. The niftier the device the more attracted to it and the Nook is no exception to this, none of the e-readers are. The Nook combines the love of technology and love of reading, making over two million books, magazines, and newspapers available at people’s finger tips.
