Odd coincidence

I though it was odd to receive this pair of magazines this week.

Men banned from (some) toilets

iPhone apps that I actually use

Inspired by Minimalist Mac, I cleared my first two iPhone screens and started moving in apps that I actually use. The first page I made a strict rule: Only apps that I use every single day. The second page are apps that I use at least once a week, but not every day. The third page is apps I find handy but don’t use often. The fourth page is Apple apps that I don’t use and can’t delete. The rest? I deleted.

Here’s what I came up with:

First screen (minus built-in apps):

PEMDAS calculator
Simplenote
Gowalla
iReddit
Remote
Tweetie

Second page:

Dropbox
Skype
YouVersion Bible
Pandora
Starbucks mobile card
NPR News
NYTimes
USA Today
Convert
Jaadu VNC
Jaadu RDP
InerTrak
1password
Cocktails+
Drinkspiration by Absolut
Bump

Finally, a few apps I keep on the third page:

PushDialer
BeejiveIM
Yelp
redbox
IMDb

My new Google Reader folders

I’ve been using Google Reader for several years now and never quite been happy with my folder set up. I’ve been finding a few examples here and there of how people have set up theirs and decided to work on my own. Here’s what I’ve got now:

A-List - good writers on any topic that I do not want to miss
Friends in Real Life™
Local - anything specifically related to Dallas and Texas
Cycling
Music
Travel
Entertaining - blogs like FAIL or Treehugger that I enjoy reading for fun
Tech - sites such as Gizmodo or Engadget
Entertaining++
Tech++

The two at the bottom with ++ after them are the blogs that post excessively. If I see 1000+ items in there, I don’t feel bad about going bankrupt on those folders.

How do you organize your feeds?
