So I got an idea of how to show all my Covet Fashion stuff off without spamming all those who don’t want to see everything. Using Twitter (which my phone posts to) and IFTTT I’ve set up easy posting to
Still looking for an option to auto-post to Instagram….

1. Audible
I need things to keep my brain active and off the subject of my life.
2. Pushover
This goes mostly with IFTTT. I can set up alerts such as the Full Moon. When I get an email that is “Important” according to Gmail (be sure to teach Gmail what isn’t important).
3. iOS apps Mail/Messages/Calendar/Reminders/Safari
I nearly live in these basic iOS apps.
Mail I have set up to sync with Gmail.
Calendar syncs with Google Calendar and the calendar on my Laptop.
Same with Reminders though I do have IFTTT set up to sync it with Remember the Milk.
4. Twitter
This is my communication method lots of time. I keep up with more friends here than I do Facebook.
5. Foursquare
If I ever go missing the cops can easily find where the last place I was.
6. IFTTT
I hate repetitive tasks, but I LOVE to keep archives. This does that and automates a few things for me.
7. Starbucks
I had been using this app quite a bit. I was addicted to my Carmel Apple Spice even though it doesn’t agree with my stomach. Apples have given me problems for years.
8. Mobile Banking app
This is how I usally check my bank account. I actually interact with my bank more this way than any other way.
9. Google+
I’m using this more than any other social site for promoting my iBooks.
11. Timehop
I like this app for seeing what was going on in my life on this day for previous years.
12. Waze
I travel a lot and don’t know where I’m going. So I find out what’s nearby by using the search embeded in Waze. Plus they know traffic because of the real time traffic updates from other users in the area.
13. Kindle
I love to read. However, moving with a large library every 3 to 6 months is prohibitive. So I have a Kindle, a Kindle app on my phone and a Kindle app on my iPad. I have my whole library down to about 3 lbs. A lot easier to pack up and move.
To help you outsmart traffic, today we’re excited to announce we’ve closed the acquisition of Waze. This fast-growing community of traffic-obsessed drivers is working together to find the best routes from home to work, every day.
via Official Blog: Google Maps and Waze, outsmarting traffic together.
I’ve been using Waze quite a while now… I’ve been a bit of an editor on the rare occasion as well. I added the bypass in my hometown shortly after it was constructed. I’ve been with them through growing pains. Now I just hope Google lets them continue to grow & doesn’t end them like they have Google Reader (yes, I’m still kinda bitter about that shuttering next month).
