Useless Apps

The google app is useless. It's a fancy UI that just launches safari.
Hardly an app.
TripIt is useless unless you subscribe monthly to get the realtime
flight/gate alerts.
Chorus is useless unless all your friends are using. Even if they are,
it's clunky. The is no AppStore integration which renders this app...
You guessed it, useless.
The following apps I think may be making it onto this list but need
further investigation:
Fuze Meeting - can't seem to get this working with OCS
Siri - initial try gave poor results. Trying to see what makes it any
better than the other voice searches outthere
Goby - promising but does it actually work yet?
TextPlus - did they fix the performance issues? How about more
reliable push?
All OOB apps that you can't remove!

The Night

I look forward to the small space at night when I go to bed, before I
fall asleep. It is here that no one expects anything of me other than
rest. And this I am happy to oblige.

Saturday Morning

Good Morning, well afternoon, gosh its about 1pm. Didn't wake up until 11am today - that's very late for me. Felt good to sleep in though.

Just checked my work email and Nate is making grilled cheeses for lunch. Watching "Overboard" on Lifetime, a classic. Too bad its raining out, would have been nice to get outside this weekend. On the bright side, that means I don't have to water the new grass next to the driveway.

My work email is over flowing and I really should go through it, but I'm finding the motivation lacking. With the layoffs last week and the recent cut from the Vegas trip, I just can't get into it. Usually I work 60 hours a week, and like it, but I just can't get interested right now. Also doesn't help that certain people just do not respond to my emails and voicemails, and that is getting frustrating as well. Lastly, I am STILL waiting for the promotion I was supposed to get last year, and have been reccomended for on the last 2 reviews. Can't wait forever. ..

Testing Integrations

Don't think I have fully figured out how to get this to automatically post to my other accounts as a feed link. But I am way too tired to keep at it. Maybe tomorrow. Nate is still gaming but I am about to pass out, so after this test, I am heading to bed.


Looks like its going to be a rainy weekend, which is a bummer. Wanted to go hiking, not really digging doing that in the rain. The dogs would get pretty muddy too.


That's all for now.... oh, and this:

New Blog

Wow, I am really impressed with all the features available on this blog site. I love how it is integrated with Google as well. Now I have my gmail, google reader (for my RSS feeds), and this all linked together. Hope I can figure it all out.

Not sure what I really can blog about but wanted to give this a try. I often find myself at a loss for words, trying to find a 'one-liner' that describes my current state of mind on Facebook. Also, I think this is a good exercise. Was reading my older blogs and wondered why I stopped.

So hopefully I can use this to just get out of my head once in a while. And if folks happen to read it, cool.
