Hey Look What I Did In 2011
Turned 21
January 19th — So I started the year off by performing the amazing feat of becoming 21 years old. I put a lot of effort into this. Lots of sitting around and breathing was involved.
Appeared On the Radio
February 1st — My friend who liked my work on my podcast The Gazebo on the Go invited me to be on his radio program to promote the podcast and make jokes. I think I made people...

This is the last week in my apartment on the top floor. Really tempted to buy a Kinect, twelve river dancers, and a girl in high heels stomping her heels in the ground to keep from falling over.

I have known for a while that my name, Jake, meant alright, but I have never seen it used that way before.

Path
Path originally came out last year right after Instagram and was, essentially, an awkward way to share photos with a few friends. The design felt stale and the concept seemed very “me too!”. I could never figure out what the application was supposed to be. The company who made Path came out with an application, not long after, called With. With was a application for sharing who you...

Fav.tv
In this world of recording and downloading television shows it is hard to keep up with what shows you like. Following a television show on Twitter and Facebook is the worst. Entertainment blogs? Do not get me started! A new website has came in to save the day.
When you sign up with Fav.tv it will ask you if you would like the TV shows you have liked on Facebook to automatically be followed. The...

Reeder
It is the holidays and with holidays comes family. One of the questions I get asked every year is, “what is your major?” Another question, when they hear i work with “computers” is how I keep up with technology. It appears to them that this is something that I am actively doing, but really it is more passive at this point. Used to I would watch TechTV, but now I subscribe...

At MaxFunCon 2011…
My lifeless body was in the arms of Davin Pavlas as he buried me in the ground and ripped my heart out. I magically came back to life to shovel shit for a living even though all I wanted to do with my life was, against my father’s wishes, to sell insurance. I also learned which pizza joint makes the best marijuana pizza.
And this was all in Jordan Morris’ beginner improv class! You...

Elements
When I download a new application I like to explore the application. It is like an adventure game to find every nook and cranny, observe every setting. When given a new notebook I will think about if I should dedicate it to a certian topic or put everything in it. All that this really does is distract me from doing what I need to do in a notebook: write. A writer does not need a million settings,...

Instagram
Before the iPhone came out Flickr was a really popular source for sharing photos and keeping up with the photos your friends have taken. Flickr is still insanely great today, but the introduction of Twitter and sharing photos with friends instantly has overtaken it on the mobile side. This is where Instagram comes in. Think of it as Twitter for images, instead of text. You follow people,...

All the Apps* →
I started a blog where I discuss great iPhone and iPad apps that you can drive off the lot today! If you could follow it on Tumblr that would be awesome, because for some (real) reason I am being graded by how well I can develop an audience on short notice.

Instacast
One of my favorite things in all the Internet is podcasts. I love podcasts. I love them so much I attended the first ever live Diggnation in Chattanooga, TN and went to MaxFunCon at Lake Arrowhead, CA. The iPhone is potentially the greatest device for listening to podcasts, but the built in application is lacking. You cannot download any podcast over twenty megabytes over a cellular network...

Instapaper
Have you ever came across something on the Internet you wanted to read but did not have the time? What about a long car ride with nothing to do? With Instapaper you can mark articles posted to the Internet to read later. Instapaper will download the articles to your iPhone or iPad and strip out all of the things that are not related to the article you want to read.
This application was made by...
