Scene: Siskiyou Wilderness – Night A somber fog hushes the woods. A fog so thick it’s palpable, able to be indented, as it undulates, clinging to the craggy faces of rocky outcrops and the splintered shell of an antique, befallen stump. A deer steps out from the thicket, dew cascading from her mange-bitten fur, her ... Read More
ITGO – Interval Trainer GO (3)
11/09/09 •
*vibration* “Slow” “Fast!” For anyone who does interval training, it’s a rough haul. Interval training is broadly defined as repetitions of high-speed/intensity work followed by periods of rest or low activity. Generally used in cardiovascular workouts (e.g. stationary biking, running, rowing, etc.), interval workouts involve brief bouts of near-maximum exertion interspersed with periods of lower-intensity ...

I usually have my computer set up with five tabs that I shuffle between when I go about my morning routine. My email is always open – it lends itself to witticisms and cracks with my boyfriend and friends when working (er, um, totally not when working) -, my Appstruck wordpress page so I can ... Read More

One of my biggest chagrins is walking into a business and desperately asking for a bathroom, pleading eyes and bambi lashes in full effect, only to have the owner purse her lips and coldly say, “Sorry, we don’t allow customers to use the rest room.” Now, I like to pride myself on being a camel. ...

While corporate America has been touting the end of the recession, that doesn’t mean it’s necessarily “over” for the rest of us, as we still struggle to find suitable work and make ends meet. Thankfully, there are many avenues to find employment, sites like Craigslist and Idealist.org, ... Read More
Voice Alarm Counting down to iPhonageddon (2)
7/25/09 •
It’s a bit chilling, hearing the mechanical voice of my iPhone counting down to my future. Granted I selected this future and gave my iPhone all of the details, so it is not nearly as sci-fi as I wish it could be (that can be left to another app). VoiceAlarm is an app available for ... Read More

It’s happened to all of us. You get dressed to the nines, put on those sexy 4 inch heels or that cerulean blue button down from Kenneth Cole that collects more dust than admiration in the back of the closet, then add some goop and groom our usually flat or rumpled hair, and check our ... Read More
A Whale of an iPhone App! (0)
7/21/09 •
It was finally time for me to take on the hunt for the best green iPhone app. I recycle even when it means lugging coffee cups for blocks, buying all of my produce at farmers’ markets at least twice a week, and I have even started buying $5 boxes of 13 rolled compostable trash bags ... Read More

“Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” This maxim has been pounded into the minds of our collective youth for the past few decades. Recycling is the “R” that has definitely caught on the best, it being government-mandated since some time in the 1970s. Today, there are many curbside recycling programs (8,660 as of 2007, according to the EPA*), ... Read More

For Shazam lovers out there, however magical Shazam may be, there is a bigger, badder, and a whole lot more expensive competitor in its game of musical guessing. Developer Melodis introduces Midomi Ultra, a music identifying iPhone app that uses its own Sound2Sound Search Science to identify a “flexible fingerprint” of your music search with ... Read More
