A Great Android App Review Site – androidmarketapps.com
Mar 15th
Here’s a great site i found for Android application reviews. http://www.androidmarketapps.com/ is one of the few sites I’ve seen out there with honest reviews about Android applications. It looks like its just starting out but it’s being updated constantly with some pretty useful apps. I use quite a few on there already like Yelp, ChompSMS, and Astro File Manage but have found a couple apps i didn’t know about like Bump and Checkers for Android. For each review the author gives a pretty thorough rundown of its pros and cons and then gives it a star rating. It also allows users to make their own comments about the review and their own star rating as well.
One of the really neat things is the QR codes the reviewer puts with each review. If you like the review and think its an app that you can actually use, you can scan the QR code on the screen with your phone using bar code scanner and it will take you directly to the Android Market so you can purchase it or download it for free. Here’s what a QR code looks like:
So if you’re looking for some new apps for your G1, Nexus One, or any other type of Android device i seriously suggest you check out this site. I have the RSS feed book marked myself so I can see the new apps as they’re reviewed. you can do the same here.

Know Your Internet Memes
Mar 6th
Here’s the definition of Interenet Meme’s from Wikipedia:
The term Internet meme is a phrase used to describe a catchphrase or concept that spreads quickly from person to person via the Internet, much like an esoteric inside joke.[1] The term is a reference to the concept of memes, although this concept refers to a much broader category of cultural information.
If you aren’t hip to the latest Internet meme’s, here’s a great sight to get you caught up:
It features some of the latest Internet Meme’s like “Kanye West Interrupts Taylor Swift” and some old favorites like “Don’t Tase Me Bro!”. So next time when you don’t get the joke, check this site and look it up!
LMGTFY … No, Really … Let Me Google That For You. Was That So hard?
Mar 5th
This post was inspired by a meeting i had the other day. A group of us were writing a report and we split the work up equally the week before. During the meeting everyone had their parts of the project ready and one by one we passed the VGA cable connected to the overhead LCD and began to discuss what we wrote. One of my colleagues plugged his laptop in and said “This is what i am going to write about.” He then pulled up google and typed in his search. He had nothing prepared for the deadline. No joke.
“letmegooglethatforyou.com” or “lmgtfy.com” for short, is a website that pokes fun at situations where people use or don’t use Google when they should be. To use it, go to the website and type in your search and hit “google search”. The website will give you a link that you can share with someone else and lmgtfy.com does its magic. Although my above situation isn’t really related to when you would use this tool, it just made me think of how fun this tool can be.
Here’s a better example of when i’ve seen it used. Say you’re surfing your favorite tech blog site and someone posts “Whats the difference between a Palm Pre and a Palm Pixi?” You go to lmgtfy.com type in “Whats the difference between a Palm Pre and a Palm Pixi?” and get a link like this http://tinyurl.com/yllqtsv. then you post it for the intended individual to poke fun. Have fun!
