This has been on my wishlist for a while. I hope it comes out to the market soon.

I’d like to find an app that helps me keep track of when I’ve last contacted my contacts and remind me to do so every so often. Like with a push notification or easy entry onto the calendar. Also, able to set the frequency.

I’m pretty ridiculous when it comes to iPhone apps. There are 11 screens that fit 16, plus the 4 on the dock.. and I filled it up long ago.

There must be an app or process that can help me wrangle all those apps that I download and then delete.. I know it is available on itunes, but I don’t have anything on the go.

Plus there isn’t just one place to share the list of apps I’ve found. I suppose I could make a page of my favs (another day). I think I put that up someplace.. but I can’t recall where.

Yesterday and today are my days off, and boy have I needed them.

I spent most of Sunday trying to figure out how to get my various images and notes in one place. I like to write down ideas. The problem is that everything resides in various programs and places and I forget what is where. Clutter.

Also I rated several of my songs. I have 8600 and most of them were downloaded from SXSW torrents. The process is ongoing though, when I shuffle I’ll get great new songs & terrible crunchy stuff that hurts to listen to.

After I figured out what automator workflow worked and what process I needed to accomplish; I looked for an iPhone app that reads pdfs.

I’ve been scanning everything I have so now about all my papers are gone. I can use Spotlight on my mac, but I didn’t know of a way to do so on my iPhone..

then I found Aji Annotate. Wow. Everything I needed.. now PDFs are my new favorite thing.

Today I’ve been up for a couple hours and getting things cleaned up a bit. Pretty soon I’m going to go shopping for some little things and then come back and tape something (finally). So yeah, I was just thinking that I haven’t been updating my blog as much as I’d like.

Ta – da!
