Want to order something from the Apple store? Now there’s an app for that. While I find some of the features of this app handy: like you can see where the nearest Apple store is (say you’re traveling and forgot your charger and need to pick one up stat) or book an appointment at the genius bar, I wouldn’t actually use it for orders. Why? Because if you use a regular internet browser and click through eBates before placing your order with Apple you can get 1% cash back.- I’ve tried Couch to 5k in the past but never been able to stick with it. Jamie Ann recommends an iPhone app to walk you through the program while you listen to your own music and that really appeals to me so I’ve downloaded the app and plan to give it another try soon.
- Formerly Gracie takes a look at why people choose to use real vs. fake names on the internet. I was particularly amused by the opinion that “We’re all one Google search away from getting fired, disinherited, and disowned”. For the record, my name really is Carrie.
- Semicolon reviews Cory Doctorow’s For the Win and tells you how and where to get the ebook free. I’ve heard great things about Doctorow’s books but haven’t actually read any of them yet so I got the PDF version of the ebook so I can read it while simultaneously testing out the new iBooks for iPhone app.
- Jessica embarks on Operation Unsubscribe. For those newsletters that you should read but never actually do, consider filters to keep them out of your inbox.

Hello! I am a new follower via Facebook (Eloise Bowen Carlson) and Twitter (furygirl3132) for Friday Follow, so glad to have found your fun blog. Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Hey! I’m from Blog Frog!
I really need to get myself an iPhone, all those app’s just sound way too much fun!
And yeah, I go between using my real name/fake name. I don’t know why. Ha-ha.
I just got an ipod (I know. I am behind the times) and I am new to all the apps but I am really enjoying the ones I do have. Why did I wait do long??
I’m going to check out that Couch to 5k app. I recently signed up for a 5k on the fourth of July. Yikes! I could use the help. Thanks and I’m visiting from blogfrog.
oh girl we are a wired generation, aren’t we – love the blog – the comment on being one google away from being fired, disinherited or disowned is flippin hilarious. i found u via blog frog (follow friday
) just became a follower of your facebook, didn’t see another follow button but would love to have you follow me at mangia-bella.blogspot.com
Popping by from Follow Friday. What helps me on the exercising is wearing a step counter. My goal is 10,000 steps a day. So I just keep checking and walking around while I’m talking on the phone, etc… It is low key to do and easy to maintain.
Visiting a bit late from Ann’s VGNO.
You know, I used to try to be as anonymous as possible on the Internet, but then figured out that (duh) since I’m in business, the name will come out somehow , some day!
If you blog, you you’re not going to be anonymous long, at least if you are 1/2 way genuine. I wouldn’t go posting my address or anything like that, but….
I use fictitious names for my kids, then come to find out they used their real names for facebook. The 19 year old, I don’t care, but the other I did!
Have a great week!
