My iPhone/Touch has become one of my most valuable electronic devices. How else could I lug around tons of music, books, and videos in my hip pocket?
Instead of expounding on and on why I love it so, let me just list some favorite apps.

Technique for writing content

Start with a completely disorganized capture of every little snippet of text that seems vaguely interesting.
Grab paragraphs from web pages, from digital books, and transcribe pages from printed text and give each little snippet a citation of where it came from.
As you are reading them on the screen, drag them into paragraph where you think they will be most useful.
As you read through them all, you will have a completely new contextual experience.
Instead of confronting a terrifying blank page, you will be looking at a document filled with quotes from sources and even your own notes.
Great technique for stopping procrastination
Because instead of starting with just a big empty screen of nothingness. Each page starts with inspiring quotes and text.
Just bridge the gaps.
Add keyphrases and optimization.

Facebook Applications - GoDaddy Dynamic versus Static IP’s

We attempted to run a Facebook Application on a dynamic server through GoDaddy. Bad call. There was a delay when the application was updated and, more often than not, failed to update user changes to the app. In an attempt to economize, life was made more difficult. In the end, we switched from a GoDaddy dynamic IP back to a static IP. To sum up, if you run an application that requires external access (like Facebook), use a static IP.
