Draw Something ✎…
Draw Something is a mobile version of Pictionary, and follows a gameplay format to Chess with Friends and Words With Friends. While it’s only been around for 2 months it is a huge friggin’ hit with over 15 million users.
But why?
For two reasons really: 1) Draw Something is dead simple to play, and 2) the game is ridiculously addictive.
TWC TV app FTW!
Every night I put my son to bed around the same time. Unfortunately, that time will often bump up against The Walking Dead’s 9PM time slot. Thankfully, I overpay for cable via Time Warner which gives me access to the TWC TV iPhone app.
The app lets me watch live TV from my iPhone or iPod Touch (from within my home WiFi network) device as well as control, manage and program a DVR (if I had one), and browse the TV guide, favorite channels and search for programs by title or episode name (provided a Navigator set-top box unit is present).
The free iPhone app is actually an update to the iPad app that was released back in March 2011. Basically, TWC combined the two apps and made one free universal application with a bunch of new features. I love the iPad version and have watched many a Syfy Saturday movie using it. And the iPhone app is great, especially when I need a really small screen—like when I’m putting my son to bed.
iTunes Match Playlists Not Syncing in iOS 5.1
So I upgraded to iOS 5.1 and iTunes 10.6 the other day, created a list of Irish music, and headed out the door with my son to go for a St. Patty’s Day run. When I fired up the music app the playlist wasn’t there. I chalked the issue up as an AT&T problem and went about my run with a little help from Pandora.
Upon returning, I entered my WiFi kingdom and checked in on my playlist. Still not there. I looked on my PC, Mac, and MacBook Pro. The playlist was correctly syncing across all three devices. Hmm, why wasn’t the playlist syncing on my iPhone?
How an app named Lose It helped me lose 18 pounds
In my family I’ve always been the biggest, but that’s not saying much. In high school I wrestled 152 and hovered around 160 in the off season. When I graduated into adulthood I hung out with the 160s until my early 30s. By then I was running less, working a sit down job, and maintaining the same high-calorie diet I did when I ran 50+ miles per week.
Needless to say, I got fat. It didn’t really hit me until I stepped on the scale and saw 2-0-0. Enough! I set goals. Got back into running. Dropped habits. And relied on an iPhone app named Lose It! to keep my eating habits sensible.
