Google Fast Flip

Sep 14 2009 Published by aaron under Organization, Tech

Browse news with speed with Google Fast Flip. Move through the headlines like a fox running through the net looking for the rabbit of information.

I have tried the web application with my iPhone and found for the most part that navigation is easy, but sometimes it can been annoying.

Turning the iPhone to be sideways, results in viewing the article at a zoomed view which might be easier than double tapping and panning.

Portable apps list I like

Sep 14 2009 Published by aaron under Tech, Travel

  1. FireFox
  2. KeePass
  3. VLC
  4. TrueCrypt
  5. ThunderBird

Im sure there are more, and I will find the ones that complete my set of tools I feel are missing from the box, but for now, I think this list is okay. Installing them onto my DropBox and a USB drive would make for a very good contingency for my finances and documents that I would need in case of a disaster.
