Tools of The Trade

»If you own an iPad, chances are you’ve discovered how annoying it is to try to write something that requires basic web browsing. Writing Kit is an iPad app that gives you the freedom to write in markdown formats and do quick research. With Writing Kit you can use the in-app browsing feature that gives you linking options, so you can source your information.  Export the file to Evernote, Facebook, Posterous, Tumblr and Twitter. But by far the best part is the price: it’s only $5. http://getwritingkit.com.

»As an experienced cell phone misplacer, I can personally attest to the feelings of panic and worry that come when you suddenly realize your phone is MIA. Cell phones aren’t merely phones; they remember meetings, hold clients’ contact information and connect us to the world. To best your absentmindedness use the ZOMM, which in addition to acting like a “wireless leash,” can work as a hands free speakerphone and dial emergency numbers. Bluetooth links your cell to the ZOMM. The gizmo will give off a loud noise once the phone is too far from it. $89.99. http://zomm.com/products.
