Aargh, and a question

[madbaker]

I forgot to pack a lunch today. I have several meals' worth of leftovers (yummy braised pork belly and veg) that are sitting in the fridge.

On a totally different note, I now have a shiny new iPhone as a work leash. What apps do people recommend? I've installed Pandora, Bloomberg, and the Weather Channel.

What I'm reading: Charles Stross, Trade of Queens

Scrabble and sudoku, definitely.

PuTTY and vim.

OK: You probably won't find them useful. But I would, and you asked what I'd recommend.

Weather Underground, Good Reader (file storage system, I use it for choir music in .pdf format), and Fromage. I also have Fandango and a number of radio apps for when I was working at a desk in a cube cave for awhile (WunderRadio and RadioBox).

Yelp has been helpful. I also recently got IMDB, ostensibly for movie showtimes (very quick & convenient!) but also for those times when you must instantly find the answer to a movie trivia question :-)

Here's a list, most of these are free, but some do cost ... I haven't used some of these as much as others, haven't had the time to really get into them, and some of them are travel-based, and I haven't done much travel since we got ours:

IMDb Movies ...
AAA Roadside (handy if you have a trip-A account)
Area Code Dir ...
AroundMe (find restaurants and many other things of interest nearby)
AT&T Mark the Spot (if you have a dropped call, let AT&T know)
AT&T myWireless (manage account)
Awesome Notes (handy for note taking)
Bump (if another iPhone user has this, you can share contact info)
Conde Nast Traveler Gold List
Constitution
Crush the Castle (game, silly)
Currency (converter)
Declaration (of the US)
Dictonary? (better than Dictionary!, this one has pronunciation guides)
Facebook (if you have a Facebook account, I don't, she does)
Fandango Movies
Frommer's Travel Tools
Google Earth (really)
How to Cook Everything ($$, but interesting stuff)
Huffington Post
Hypnotoad (really!)
I Can Has Cheeseburger
iBart Live (schedules, status of trains)
Lightsaber (silly)
LinkedIn (if you have a LinkedIn account)
Mixologist (tons of drink recipes, and ability to add your own, next month ability to add ingredients ...)
MotionX GPS (for driving -- really good ratings, but $$)
Musee de Louvre (free, really cool)
Nasa App
NY Times
The Onion
Open Table
Space Images (Hubble, etc.)
Tips and Tricks (there's a free version, iPhone tips/tricks)
Virtual Zippo (silly, the spouse's first app)
Wells Fargo (if you bank with them ...)
The White House (literally ... blogs and such ...)

As noted, most are free, but not all. I didn't list some of the games ... I'm still making up my mind about most of 'em. <g>
