Couple Great Android Apps

I've always been slightly negative on apps for Android and iPhone simply because most of them are a total waste of time.

That said, I stumbled on a couple that I thought I'd mention.

Quit Smoking Log (free)

For those who smoke and want to quit (such as myself) or who want to cut back this is the app for you. I've tried tons of quit smoking apps and they are all annoying. The biggest annoying thing is that if you forget to record a smoke you have no way of doing so later.

With Quit Smoking Log it lets you insert entries and input the time you smoked. This way, when you look at your statistics they actually reflect your smoking pattern.





Carbodroid (free)

If you are like me you probably don't drink nearly enough water during the day. Carbodroid is a neat little app that lets you track your H2O drinking. Nothing flashing about this app, but that's what makes it good.  Simply click on the glass every time you drink and your Android guy fills up with water.

Fill him all the way up and he has a big smile.







Daily Funny (free)

Funny pictures to make you laugh. Generally speaking I'd say at least 30 per cent of the pictures actually are really funny.










Perfect Alarm (.99)

I've never liked alarm clock apps because half the time they don't work. But this app works great. The selection of ring tones are good and it has a great feature where the alarm slowly gets louder, letting you wake up slowly.

A Look Back on 2017 / A Look Forward to 2018

Hard to believe it's been two years (and six books) since I started publishing. Thought I'd take a moment to look back on the journey, some of the highlights and what's in store for the future. Eyes Wide Open I had no idea what this publishing path would be like - I went in blind with nothing more than an interest in telling a story. It turned out to be way harder than I could have imagined. You'd think writing a book wouldn't be that difficult, but it is. It's not so much the book that readers see that's hard to produce, it's the ideas and writing that get left on the cutting room floor. But beyond the actual stories, learning Photoshop to do my own covers, understanding how to market my books, learning how to create print versions, and a dozen other things really opened my eyes to how much effort is required to get a book to market. Along the way I’ve had my moments where I questioned my sanity to put myself through the process. But...

E-cigarettes: A PR battle Health Canada cannot win?

So I've now been using an e-cigarette (e-cig) for two months and thought I'd talk a bit about how I see the upcoming battle between Health Canada and e-cigs going. First though, let's do a quick overview of what exactly an e-cig is. Basically an e-cig vaporizes liquid that contains nicotine. The vapor is then inhaled. People who use e-cigs are called vapers (not smokers). Because the liquid is atomized (ie. vaporized), not burned the way tobacco is, vapers do not consider themselves 'smokers' in anyway. An e-cig is comprised of basically three components: The tank - this is the component that holds the juice (sometimes referred to as e-juice or e-liquid). The atomizer - this a coil and wick unit that atomizes the juice. When the coil is heated (from the battery) it atomizes the juice that has soaked into the wick. The battery - batteries for e-cigs come in various capacities (some last 8 hours, others 40+ hours, depending on their size).  The ba...
