Week 7: Top Ten

The Top Ten Tech Tools I can't live without:

10:  Feedly:  Favorite RSS feeder - this used to be google reader, but since its death was announced, I've switched to feedly... great rss feeder...this is how I get my news.

9:  Evernote:  as much as I love the idea of using a moleskin notebook, evernote is my notebook now.  everything i need to remember is stored there.

8:  Dish Network Hopper - DVR, DVR, DVR...what can I say...I can record the 4-5 shows (out of the 200 channels) and watch them when I get a chance.  Like June.

7:  Netflix - movies, tv shows, etc.  keeps me happy, but more importantly, keeps my 4 yr old occupied at those really busy times...

6:  Amazon Streaming - (see Amazon prime) - great movies, documentaries, tv series, free with amazon prime.

5:  Amazon - I buy 99% of everything other than groceries here...get amazon prime, it's completely work it

4:  U-verse Internet connection - I went through a period of about a year trying to get the internet service to run consistently at speed - no internet  = lose my MIND!!

3:  My MacBook Pro - always works, ultra portable, handles the top 10% of heavy uses (see iPad)

2:  My iPad - the best portable computer around, for 90% of all of my needs

1:  My iPhone 5 - this is what saved me while the U-verse connection was down...my main mode of communication with the outside world, news, etc.  I never go anywhere without it.

  1. I agree with having an iPad. Even though I am not tech savy and do not own an iPad, I have seen that it is very useful to others, especially my niece! Amazon is a great place to purchase items at affordable prices. And you got to love Netflix when there is absolutely nothing on cable tv.
