Things the Internet Needs: App Highlander

Want some insight into how much I want to opti­mize my iPhone usage? I’m search­ing des­per­ate­ly for charts show­ing the work­flow dif­fer­ences between Instapa­per and Safari Read­ing List.

But it’s not lim­it­ed to that! I strug­gle with all man­ner apps. It does­n’t mat­ter if it’s food-relat­ed or maps or GTD apps; I need some­one who can be the Dun­can MacLeod of app selec­tion to explain how to get the most out of each app, avoid dupli­ca­tion and opti­mize the expe­ri­ence on all man­ner of platforms.

Know some­one who’s doing this? Let me know and I’ll sing his or her prais­es from the rooftops! There can be only one!

I’ll leave you with this rel­e­vant Queen video, embed­ded below.

How I Fell in Love with the iPad

I know I’m the last per­son on Earth to admit this, but I’m in love with the iPad. Strike that: I’m in love with my wife’s iPad, which I gift­ed her two years ago. At first i thought my iPhone was all I need­ed. I start­ed play­ing with it Thurs­day night and now it’s on my lap non­stop. I’m writ­ing this post on it!

Favorite app? Cur­rent­ly obssessed with Flip­board. Real­ly changes the way I engage my feeds and browse the web. It’s fun again!

What am I look­ing for­ward to? Read­ing. I’m des­per­ate to embrace dig­i­tal books because I can’t shoe­horn anoth­er in our mod­est home. Hope this screen is addic­tive for read­ing as it is every­thing else.

If you have an iPad and are a fan, let me know what your favorite apps are in the comments!
