A New Spin on Doing What’s Good For Your Body
This post could have been titled “Own up to it or go ahead and die.” As in, that’s what my mom said when I ran a post by her about sex, relationships, and birth control for this blog. Because we’re talking about your body … we’re talking about the choices you’re making … and fundamentally,…
Hello Digit
All I want for Christmas is to save more money (in direct contrast with my wishlist, perhaps). I’m not one of those budget-ers, despite enjoying the tough love in the You Need a Budget blog (I haven’t used the software) and employing the budgeting tool in Mint.com—which I do use to look at all my finances…
Coin, It’s a Badass App Even If You Don’t Need It
Coin is a new credit-card-looking device that holds all of your cards and can swipe as any one of them. This video had me mesmerized: http://youtu.be/w9Sx34swEG0 You swipe and store all cards—debit, credit, gift, loyalty, and membership—but can only enable 8 at a time on the device. Otherwise, you’ll need your smartphone to move through…
Hello ProShow
ProShow Web is a new app that lets users easily mix photos, videos, text, and music together into professional-quality video slideshows. I full-on planned to show you a demo of the app with my own slideshow … but then, as I revealed on my radio show, I was playing by the Roaring Fork River and my…

The company produces The Hideaway Report, a private monthly publication for sophisticated travelers. Andrew Harper and his editors pay full price and travel incognito to write candid…
Austin: Cincominder App
Surely you remember CINCO Vodka, the “Austin’s Neighbor”-based, limestone-filtered, “martini-drinker’s” vodka I wrote about here? In one of the most ridiculously awesome ideas ever, CINCO has introduced a Cincominder app for the iphone. What does this app do? Why, the app reminds fans when it’s five o’clock—the perfect time to enjoy a great martini!—with the…
Sleep Better with WakeMate (or at least know how badly you’re sleeping!)
When I first heard about WakeMate, the wristband that measures your sleep and then wakes you up at the best part of your sleep cycle (within a window set by you), I had to have it. I was lucky enough to be gifted a WakeMate to try, and let me tell you: I love that…

SXSW Six Odds and Ends
People, we are in FULL SWING. I have never seen Interactive so full of people and parties, and of course panels, but that’s almost a second thought. Below are six things that I haven’t yet talked about because they don’t fit because there isn’t always free “Stuff” or whatever. All-Inclusive Hotel & Indie Day Party:…
