How Your iPod Can Make You More Productive

The iPod is an incredible organizing device! It takes many shelves worth of CDs and condenses them into one tiny gadget, thereby reducing clutter. The iPod (and iTunes) also took away the classic dilemma highlighted in the movie High Fidelity: Should you organize your music collection alphabetically by artist? Or by genre first? Now you can organize it any way you want with a couple of clicks.

AutoRate: Turn iTunes into Pandora

One of iTunes’ least used features must be the star ratings. I’ve never found the urge to pull up the player while listening to make sure I’ve rated what I like or not.

UnTech Yourself

Technology can definitely make life easier. E-mail, rapid communication, RSS and the internet create vast opportunities for new information. But technology isn’t perfect. Adopting new technologies can have a sharp learning curve and many programs have unseen bugs and usability problems.

Poor Man Hack: Nike+iPod Sport Kit Shoe Mod

I got myself a Nike + iPod Sport Kit recently. Sometimes I buy a gadget because it is new and innovative, but this time it’s a rational purchase. I have a iPod nano and I want to exercise by running. Plus it is quite affordable.

What I don’t want is getting a new Nike+ shoes, at least not now. Frankly it is too expensive for me, plus I already have… » Continue

Get The Most Out of Your iPod

(Okay, any portable media device will do, but with the market share of such devices being the Apple iPod, I can get away with that title, right?)

The first thing most people do when presented with a portable media device (besides saying Thank You) is look for ways to add music to it. Music is great, and it’s a wonderful thing to throw in there, but if you’re looking to get… » Continue
