SXSW App Now Available

A week or so ago, I posted about the apps I’m planning to use at SXSW. One of the most important apps I used last year, and will use this year, wasn’t yet released. However, today I noticed the official SXSW app has been released (for the iPhone). Called “SXSW Go,” it contains a list of all of the SXSW events and activities (including your customized schedule), a map of the locations of all of the activities, trade show information, and links to SXSW social media sites. I would definitely include this in the must-have apps for SXSW. This will come in particularly helpful when you find yourself shut out of a session you wanted to attend due to the large crowds, and then you have to scramble to find a new one.

Also available on Android and iPad.

Busy Working on a Bunny Project

It’s been a while since I’ve posted, and I know everyone says it, but I really have been super busy lately.  I’ve been studying for an insurance exam – which I passed today – and have had several projects going on.  The one that’s been, without a doubt, the most fun is this one…. enjoy and tell me what you think!

Skype for iPhone

It’s finally here… one of the apps I’ve been waiting for since I purchased my iPhone – Skype. If you’re not familiar with it, Skype is an instant messenger, voice-over ip, and video teleconferencing service. It’s free as long as you use it to contact other Skype users through the service… however, you can pay for the service and use it to make/receive phone calles, etc. With Skype on my iPhone, I’ll now be able to chat (only on a wi-fi network) without having to use my cell phone minutes. I’m only hoping that the next version of the iPhone firmware will surprise us with video capabilities and we’ll be able to use the Skype app for video conferencing (although I’m not quite sure how to watch the other person and shoot video of myself at the same time – at least without doing it in front of a mirror).
