Click the photo for a larger version. While I’m no connoisseur, this pen might knock off the Pilot G2 07 as my go-to pen. It’s pretty amazing for the money. The Paper Mate Profiile 1.4b can be found on Amazon for just over $1 apeice.

App Recommendation: Launch Center
For as long as I can remember, I’ve had the same four apps in my iPhone’s dock: Phone Mail Safari Settings This week, in a major upheaval in my life, Launch Center replaced Settings in the Dock.

My Podcasting Rig
Since starting the Ungeniused podcast late last year, I’ve had numerous questions about my setup. So, here’s my gear: The Blue Yeti USB Microphone is the heart of my rig.

Type2Phone Turns any Mac Into a Bluetooth Keyboard
As pointed out by Erica Sadun at TUAW, Type2Phone is a neat little Mac app that allows users to type on their iPhone from their Mac. While this seems a bit silly, I know that I type much faster on my computer than on my iPhone, and stopping my work to answer a text message [...]
