Some [more] Necessities…
I provided a list of a bunch of ‘things’ that I felt I couldn’t live without in June 2010. 1.5 years later, I’d like to add to it.
- Evernote - Biggest addition. I knew about it for a long time but never dedicated myself to it. When I switched jobs, I did exactly that and I can’t imagine life without it now. If someone held it hostage, I’d probably pay a pretty penny to get it back.
- Axure - This is a relatively new one for me but just like Evernote, I’ve begun to dedicate a lot of time to it and I’m starting to wonder how more people in my professional circle aren’t heavy users. This is already replacing the painful old processes of using Word, Visio, Mockflow, Invisionapp, and InstantShot! to produce requirements.
- Readability - Super awesome. One of those products that “just works.” I try to read all articles online through here. They’re paving the way for easy integration with other services such as Pulse which is one of my other favorite ways to consume content online. Great experience across all of my devices.
- Capri - my jug that I got 6 months ago. I can’t even remember what it was like without her.
- Spotify - I bought a premium account the first day that it opened up to the US and I haven’t spend a dollar on an iTunes song since.
- iPad 2 - I don’t think this requires an explanation
- Pulse - My primary news source alongside Twitter
- Quora - From day 1, I questioned how long Quora would last for me but it’s passed the test of time so I need to include it on the list.
Notable things that I’d remove from the 2010 list…
Steelers suck!
Two days ago I picked up Capri Franklin, my new Jug puppy born on April 19, 2011. She has already learned how to Sit, Stay, and Go Home. Now she needs to learn not to pee in the house.
I’ll continuously upload pics of her here, videos of her here, and you can follow her on twitter @CapriTheDog.
