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...

Pew Research says Press Credibility In Decline

According to Pew Research negative opinions about the press are at an all time high. Definitely check out the source article because they have a ton of infographics that are worth looking at. The main graph related to the research is the one below: As you can see, the public no longer views the media as unbiased or fully accurate. There are dozens of variables that play in to this phenomena, but I think the biggest one is that the public has traditionally viewed the media as doing the people's work. Which is to say, they are kind of like the FBI, but they work for the people not the government. They are suppose to root out what is going on and inform the people so that society can hold politicians and corporations accountable (note the reoccuring theme of accountability that I talk about often in this blog, because it's a causal variable behind much of the issues in the world today). Over the past 15 or so years, the press has lost it's credibility with the p...
