Our guiding principle was that design is neither an intellectual nor a material affair, but simply an integral part of the stuff of life, necessary for everyone in a civilized society.

My personal top 5 iPhone apps 6
Posted by Jens
on September 12, 2010
I use my iPhone G3 excessively. The battery is empty almost every day. These are my personal top five apps:
Analytics Pro
A app for viewing your google analytics stats. I use it almost every day to check the traffic on the websites I take care off. Great set of features and usability on the small iPhone screen.
iTunes link
Developer website
Price: 5,49 €
1password
If you already use 1Password for Mac or Windows this app is for you. It could be a lifesaver when you have all your passwords with you all the time. 1Passwords doesn’t sync with iTunes. So don’t forget to sync it manually over wifi.

Price: 7,99 €
Insight
A native iPhone application for the project management software Basecamp. Insight has a nice user interface that helps me to have an overview over all my todos and milestones.

20 Minute meals
As a cooking novice the videos in the apps gave me a lot of great advices. But my favorite thing is the shopping list. You can decide on the way home from work what to cook and drop in a supermarket to buy all the stuff you need without any preparation. A lot of great recipes in your pocket. But you will have a hard time to finish most of the recipes in 20 minutes if you don’t have chef like cooking skills.

Moto X Mayhem
Awesome motocross game for a two minute break. It’s really fun to hunt for new high scores.

It would be great if you write a comment with your personal top five.
A segway in cool

The trouble with the Segway is, that someone riding a Segway looks like a dork. Ryno Motors is going to deliver a Segway like vehicle with one wheel in 2011. Compared to the Segway the RYNO looks really cool.
Blog refactoring
Posted by Jens
on August 30, 2010
After some time writing in this blog. Everything got a bit chaotic. I had to refactor it. I changed the following things to make the blog easier to use:
- I changed the navigation of the blog finally to english.
- I moved all categories to tags and added only two categories for english and german posts.
- The archive view which is shown when you click on a tag or category link is more simplified now.
- The monthly archive was a bit useless, since I only write one or two articles a month, I removed it.
- To reduce initial loading time and make the startpage less confusing. Only three posts are shown on the startpage.
- Better pagination on the startpage with WP-Paginate.
- I removed the link to the rss 1 and atom feed in the header. Since Feedburner reformats the feed in every direction, there is no need to force the user to pick a feed format.
