Mobile Thing #17

So I tried the Beer Activist app first,  but I couldn't find it so I tried the SE Minnesota app.  It was acceptable.  A little generic but it got the job done. 

Mobile Thing #16

I tried Soundcloud. I was able to find copious amounts of dubstep and record myself saying "hello".  I could find this useful for sending myself audio notes.  It might even be faster than going some things.

Infographics I'm familiar with as a concept and I've created some.  Mostly for my desk shift busyness data.  So much easier in graph form than looking at numbers on a piece of paper.  However,  none of the apps listed were available to me.  I tried some other app, but all it did was show me a bunch of info graphics.  I couldn't crate anything.  Not especially helpful.

Mobile Thing #14

Vine is so fun!  My other blog (http://jonallenfanblog.blogspot.com/) has a few Vines of Jon Allen doing various things like demonstrating his shelving technique and eating.  Love the bit sized videos! 

Mobile Thing #13

I tried Deck Slide Presentations. I hope I never have to use it for anything real.  I could see it being useful after a few years of patches and upgrades.  Also not great on a tiny phone screen.  Cool that it exists,  but the functionality just doesn't feel like it's all there yet.  I could see using it if I was desperate.  Laggy and you had to pay for the really cool themes.

Mobile Thing #12

I tried wattpad.  It was pretty sweet.  For books in the public domain,  I'd totally use this ap.  Interesting fanfiction choices too.  All in all a nice interface and plenty of content.

Mobile Thing #11

The Elm mobile site seems to have everything the regular site does.  I found it easy to use except for one small issue of not being able the find the item I downloaded.  And then having to download all this other stuff And the log-ins.  Oh my stars and garters!  The log-ins!  I still haven't gotten the see the content.  Nothing to do with ELM itself though.
