It's a somewhat functional Cheat Sheet broken into categories, but yeah not what I imagine when I hear infographic.

I ended up using Google Earth to plot out different distances, plus I could see the hilly sections and plan it out so I'd have hill climbs in the right places to pull off interval training. Google Earth was super helpful for me initially and after a bit of running/biking I was able to tweak them a bit to make them…
I use a spare laptop for using MS OneNote, and then I use the camera in my phone to take pics of the whiteboard when we're writing out organizational charts or brainstorming.. Then I plug my phone into the laptop and copy the pics into MS OneNote. I don't think OneNote is all that great for note taking, but it's…
My father unexpectedly passed away a little over two years ago. That week of prepping for the funeral was a blur. After the funeral while people were filtering out of the church and shaking our hands I heard so many people say "If there's anything I can do..." although I couldn't tell you who a single one of them…
After the first couple of weeks it gets pretty easy to enter your info into a calorie counter style app. After a month you'll almost be able to look at most foods and intuitively know roughly how many calories it is. Plus most calorie counter apps have bar code scanners in them to automatically bring up all the…

Ditto, big fan of Windirstat for figuring out where all the drive space has gone. Awkward moment when you're boss's boss calls you down to trouble shoot his "travel" laptop and you see it's 180GB drive has no space available on it. Then you find 90GB of porn in a folder tucked away in the system folder. Truly…
First PC I got to use was an Apple ][e that my dad brought home for the summer from his classroom. The first computer I ever purchased was an Apple Performa 600 that was a horrible POS for just shy of $3000.
I've tried a few bicycling gamification style apps to keep me riding my bike on a regular basis. What kept me going was competition, my preferred bike app shows best times for different legs of the ride times that other people have done. So I can see what times my friends have on them and try to beat them. That's…
Mainly I just use Chrome as far as google apps go being able to send a page from my desktop to my phone in chrome is super handy and dead simple. Google Maps are great, but I only use that while traveling and I don't travel more than once or twice a year for work so it's not really something I use every day. I've…
I like the fact that I can use my iPhone Netflix App to find a movie and then send it to my PS3 to watch, being able to use the iPhone as a remote control is also a nice touch. To be fair I haven't tried Netflix out yet with the MS SmartGlass app on the 360 yet. I do hope the PS3 gets something similar to MS…
We're going to need an artists interpretation of what you think you saw before we'll believe you! =P
Neat design, I'm still waiting for the Arduino Due to be available. Until then the Arduino Nano's and Uno's will have to keep me busy.
#9 Eradicate Fruit Flies Once and For All:
Holy crap, I had one of those awful/amazing toys as a kid... Ignorance was truly bliss...
More than likely it is one of those super creepy lifelike toddler dolls. My single aunt had one (the chair below the kid is what they "sit" in normally). Damned thing creeped me out to no end as a kid. This "toy" pretty much dove right into uncanny valley territory and instead of looking lifelike just looked…
That certainly seems easier than wearing my scuba mask while cutting onions, and probably is less socially awkward.
I wish I could find the older article I think by Techdirt. It had a newspaper clipping from the 1920's or 1930's it was talking about it's new big "social" media of the day a telephone in offices on every desk. The argument was if they put a phone in everyones office/cube people would spend all day on the phone and…
Windows 8 potentially in 18 months or so sounds nearly impossible. Then again MS has a proud history of borking every other Major Windows OS release. So maybe it's best to get 8 out of the way so they can start working on 9 which will actually hold all the cool ideas they had for 8 but didn't have time to produce…
I think GoodReader was one of the first Apps I paid money for when I got my iPhone 3G a few years ago. Money well spent IMHO.
