Day One iOS App Review
Day One is a Diary/Journal app that is as elegant as it is simple to use. Consider it a microblogging style of journal keeping.

Right now, you can view your posts by entirety, by the calendar, or by starred items, but the developer is very active in updating the app and...

Blogger Note* I apologize for not posting recently. I’ve been very busy at work and then very sick in recent weeks.
Jawbone UP update:
Personally, I have had a roller coaster experience with UP. I had three defective bands in the last three months. Each month I would send one back and get a new one. And somehow someway they would just stop working. Stopped charging, irresponsive buttons,...

Color App Review Update
After thoroughly testing this app I can conclusively say…
Color app is the loneliest environment of all social platforms.
I even made my co-workers download and snap pictures with it. But the app didn’t find them. For a app touting social photo sharing, it wasn’t doing it’s job.
On to the next experimental project!

It gives you access to all the games to watch live from your mobile devices.
3G usage is a little too slow to stream the game. It will do a bit if you wait and buffer it. But the stream will have connection issues at times.
With Wi-Fi the app is much more enjoyable and the stream can get pretty good. On...
