I tried Flow when it was still in beta (and free). It’s a beautifully designed task management app, as you would expect from its designers, MetaLab. You can tell that they pored over every detail, making sure the interface and user experience was perfect.

Choosing the Right Microphone
If you’ve worked with audio for any amount of time, you’ve probably come in contact with the go-to microphone for just about any situation, the Shure SM58.

AT&T to Begin Throttling Data
I’m not sure why, but this headline didn’t really surprise me.
While I’m an AT&T customer, and a relatively happy one at that, I know of many people who aren’t so happy, particularly because of poor service, and I think this may be the straw that breaks the camel’s back for many AT&T customers.

The media is portraying eBooks to be the way of the future, making paper books obsolete in the very near future, but I’m not sure that I completely agree with that. Here’s why:
