No, this is not another plea for the beleaguered nation (although feel free to help). This is the sea change that will make the wallet you tooled in leather arts & crafts at camp obsolete, once and for all.
Our phones are now truly the exoskeleton that holds up our daily lives. There is now almost [...]

After a memorable decade at the Omni building at 7th and Brazos in downtown Austin, SicolaMartin just moved to the Capitol Tower, on 9th and San Jacinto. Google Maps tells me the distance between these buildings is roughly 0.2 miles, or just around 1,000 feet.
But looking out the window from our new digs, it actually [...]

Earlier this year, Chris Wood wrote an article about his app addiction. Well, I’ve joined the club. I’m now like one of those annoying people who insist on showing you 37 new photos of their pet cat Fluffy every time they see you. Except that for me, it’s all about the iPhone applications. Most of my interactions these days begin with “Hey, let me show you my new favorite iPhone application…” So it should surprise no one who knows me that I’m about to write about iPhone applications again.

I have this wonderful new technology device. It allows me to keep track of the wines I have in my cellar (ok, so it is more of a closet than a cellar).

On any given weekend in most cities in America, you will encounter a roadblock. “What’s this?” you might ask. It’s sort of an inconvenience–you may have to go the long way around to get to your favorite brunch place, or have to wait for a while on your way home from church, or even get frustrated as you head in to the office downtown (because obviously that’s not where you want to be on Sunday anyway). And then you see it. The long winding parade of people in matching t-shirts stretched out along a several mile course running or walking, hooting and hollering, waving signs and generally seeming to be having a good time. And then, you realize: it’s a race, a run for a cause.
