Top 10 free iphone / itouch apps

I'm a simple person with simple joys, like adding new apps to my iphone. Top 10 free apps:

1. Pandora AND/OR Finetune
Either of these two apps is a must have (get them both they are small and free). With an unlimited data plan or wifi access you can enjoy uninterrupted, personal, and customizable radio anywhere.

With Pandora you set up stations based on songs or artist you like and Pandora does the rest (picking music to play that matches your preferences). As you listen to your stations you can vote on the music Pandora picks for you. Spending a few minutes voting here and there over a few months will really help you create amazing radio stations more here.

Finetune is another great internet music app that allows you to create playlists of specific songs. Finetune will then play back just those songs in a random order for your listening pleasure.

2. Aroundme AND/OR urbanspoon
These handy GPS like apps are updated constantly and direct you to the closest (aroundme) or most random (urbanspoon) shops, restaurants, bars, clubs, banks, hotels, ect. I prefer aroundme for function and urbanspoon for fun. If you let these apps determine your location they will even map a route very GPSesque.

3. Stanza
This great app turns your $400 mp3 player into an excellent, expandable e-reader. What make the app stellar is its access to thousands of free downloadable books!

4. Sportacular
For all sports nuts, you list your favorite teams and sportacular will provide you will up to date scores, stats, rankings, ect. It's quick, easy and keeps track of the basics.

5. I.tv
Simple easy to use TV guide!

6. minipiano
Tap out a tune anytime anywhere, and if you are really good run this app with music playing and try your hand at accompaniment.

(in random order)
Scribble
MS paint like app that lets you paint over your pictures

Y. Painter
Provides real paintbrush strokes, and is a little more kid friendly

MicroSurface
More for show and tell. This app allows you to manipulate photos on a blank screen in really neat ways. You can use it to make collages of your pictures, I use it to show what my gizzmo is capable of.

Conversions
Converts almost anything (feet, gallons, yards, ect) to almost anything.

Honorable mention:
Google Earth
This probably belongs somewhere within the top five due to its popularity... I don't use it should I?

Didn't rank the best free medical apps: MediMath, Epocrates Rx, Eponyms
Or religious apps: Bible, Quoran, ect.

Let me know what you think.

Best Lollipops Ever

Ahh, the bittersweet bowl of candy on a secretary's desk. It's not the candy that is the problem it's the uncomfortable glance that occurs about 60-70% of the time. While trying to look inviting the secretary only has one thought going through her mind when someone reaches out to grab a piece of candy - I just re-stocked that bowl yesterday. Through her half smile the nonverbal cues ooze - Get your hands out of my bowl!

The other day I was in the doctor's office when I spotted a bowl full of candy placed just above a clerk's desk. This bowl caught my eye; it was filled with candy I had never seen before. Since the clerk was gone, I walked over to take a closer look. "Oh, just lollipops", I thought, "I'll take one anyway since I'm already here".

Looking at the wrapper as I ripped it off I noticed the flavor: Pomegranate pucker. It was amazing! Really the best lollipop I've ever eaten. As I was standing next to the bowl savoring the flavor, the clerk walked back to his seat. I didn't care.. with the sucker sticking out of my mouth I dove back into the candy bowl for a Mango tango. Let me tell you, the disapproving scowl was so worth it.

Luckily, the wrapper included a website: yummyearth.com
I think you might be able to find them cheaper on amazon.com or costco.com. Enjoy!

No I am not being paid for this post... haha, maybe I should be.
