1. Lumosity App – I find my self in the "App Store” all too often searching for something else to keep me occupied. I ran across Lumosity which is a game, through repetitious use, is designed to help heighten your foundational skills of mental Speed, Memory, Attention, Flexibility, & Problem Solving. It merges your scores to create your Brain Power Index (BPI). Now, go start improving your BPI!
2. Copy – This has been in the techy news a bit lately as well but is well worth mentioning again. Copy is a cloud-based storage service much like Dropbox and the others BUT, you get started with 15 GB of storage from the get-go and an additional 5 GB for each person you refer as long as the promotion runs. It connects to iOS, Android so you will never be without your content.
3.Going Tubular / Aero – The rear rim of my road bike has been giving me problems with tubes so I’m considering moving to a tubular wheelset. In terms of aerodynamics, deep rim tubular rims hugely popular. New to tubular wheels or just interest? Check out this video explaining a new model that’s coming out.
4. Medium – The Twitter founders are at it again reinventing digital publishing. This project has been around for while but I'm just getting into it. They are breaking the 140 character mold to publish short stories, if you will, for friends and those beyond your closest circles.
5. Ice Maker or Ice Tray? Weigh in using the comments below. We’ve opted for ice trays at ArcStone.
