How about a set of glasses that do the job of the display so I could theoretically take my computing set-up with me anywhere? Not reality augmentation glasses, just a replacement for a display. While we're at it I might as well ask for a pony. I could have one at home and one at work connected to a display, and only need to shuttle my phone back and forth (which we all do anyway).Īdditionally, an iPad Mini or Google Nexus with Verizon for commuting and other in-between times would complete the set-up. My near term dream set-up would be an iPhone that used NFC to communicate with something simple, powerful and inexpensive like an Apple TV/ Mac Mini that logged me in, connected me to cloud services and stored preferences and larger files locally on the physical device. I love the Google Chrome/ Chromebook idea of living life in the cloud but as someone who needs real processing power for Photoshop or a developer environment for hacking around, it doesn't seem realistic. On the iPad, I use Amazon Kindle, GoodReader, Penultimate and Diet Coda on the iPad. ![]() On my iPhone I seem to be using Foursquare, Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, RunKeeper, Spotify, Pandora, Checkmark and the Nike+ Fuelband apps a lot. Other desktop apps I rely on as needed are: Skitch, Sparrow, Sonos Controller, & Spotify. Peeking at my taskbar, I run Dropbox, PandaBar (a minimal Pandora client), CloudApp, Twitter for Mac, Caffeine, Alfred & 1Password. I use Apple Keynote for presentations and Google Apps/ Drive for docs, spreadsheets and anything else. I browse in Chrome and test in Safari, but this might be the first machine I don't have Firefox on. I'll never be a version late on Photoshop & Illustrator again. It's just enough room for the 13" MacBook Air, a notepad, a tablet/iPad and a handful of adapters. I'm trying to carry less and less, so I'm carrying that around in a small Crumpler Skivvy. I'm glad it's ultimately going to save energy but I'm happier to have a clear interface for a previously opaque device that my family and I wrestled with on a daily basis. While we're on amazing hardware, I have two Nests at home and one at work. It convinced me to start moving and challenging myself and before you know it I had lost over 25 pounds! ![]() I tried the Jawbone UP (which I liked but broke) and ordered a FitBit (it's still in the box after one use) but there was something elegant about the Fuelband. In February I was invited to the product unveiling of the Nike+ Fuelband in Manhattan and they gave everyone a Fuelband to take home. ![]() I have an iPhone 4S and despite terrible AT&T service most places it's a nice tiny pocket texting computer thing. In my opinion, the Google Nexus 7 is the best Kindle on the market.Īfter a brief trial of an Android phone last fall, I'm definitely an iPhone man. If it had Verizon I would probably stop using my iPad altogether. As cool as that is for reading and quick email from the train, I'm increasingly blown away by my new Google Nexus 7. The keyboard batteries are solar charged, so that's one less adapter to worry about. I have an iPad 3 with Verizon service for the commute in on the train, wrapped in a Logitech Solar Keyboard Folio. We may have too many ways to play music at the office. When I'm not using headphones we have a Sonos and an iHome iP4 Boombox for iPhone. ![]() I can usually be found under a pair of Sennheiser HD555's at the office and a similar wireless set-up at home. The Wacom has the nice side-effect of acting as hardware security, since everyone is confused about how the pen on the tablet replaces a mouse. I have used Wacom tablets for years, and the latest is the Wacom Bamboo Pen & Touch Tablet alongside a full-sized Apple Keyboard (I got tired of batteries dying in the Apple Wireless Keyboards every few weeks). However, those new Retina displays do look nice. My chiropractor couldn't be more pleased. What hardware do you use?Īfter years of carrying 15" MacBook Pros I'm finally down to just a 13" MacBook Air, hooked to an Apple Thunderbolt Display. Now I'm co-founding a new social app with my friend Zack Taylor called "Tapedeck", coming this fall. Some products I've helped form were Blogger, Google Reader, Plinky, Brizzly & most recently the all new AIM at AOL. I'm an artist & designer by training, but I've spent most of my career merging that with product strategy and business development to great success.

A tiny pool like this has some heroes that stand out among their more superior counterparts. We aren’t talking about Rs (don’t bother with them), we’re talking about the SRs.Īs you conquer any level in any mode, you are bound to receive shards of SR heroes. Thankfully, the game is balanced enough to let your lower-ranked heroes do battle. What is a man?! A miserable little pile of secrets!īecause Mythic Heroes is a hero collector, you are bound to have a META or tiers. Suddenly, the fallen seraph Lucifer decides to escape his own realm to fly into the other continents to conquer them and raise an army to serve his needs. The story revolves around the Infinity Tree, a colossal tree born from the primordial energies of light and darkness that connects all realms together. Its levels are tough, its bosses are ferocious, and the sheer amount of strategy involved can be mind-boggling. While the game plays similarly to AFK Arena and has the atmosphere of Onmyoji, Mythic Heroes is an entirely different creature on its own. Published by IGG, the developers behind titles such as Lords Mobile, Castle Clash, and Omega Legends, Mythic Heroes is an idle RPG with strategy elements featuring real-time battles and a roster of characters stemming from various mythologies from all over the world. Mobile games are no different and one such mobile game that enlightens its players on the magnificent tales of its characters is Mythic Heroes. ![]() For video games, titles like God of War, Ōkami, or Age of Mythology have been quite educational in telling each player the tales behind the characters in them.

I found that this food processor has the ability to prepare a small enough amount for just one person, but also has the ability to hold up to sixteen cups to accommodate many people. ![]() You have the ability to adjust how you want food to cut easily as well. That is quite the variety of food prep options that most food processors have not been equipped with in the past. You have a mini disc to fit with the mini bowl and you can have a 16-cup capacity to make enough for your family to eat French fries that you prepared fresh in your own kitchen. That alone blew my old food processor right out of the water. You can literally cut something as thin as 0.3 mm and as thick as 8.0mm. The blades are made from stainless steel as well, so they will last a long time even with a lot of use. The Breville is also compact enough to fit under your cabinet. It is a rather large food processor in comparison when it comes to the capacity it can process. They are a flat surface which is great for cleaning. It is quite simple with the settings design layout as well. It has a stainless-steel finish with a clear container for processing the food and will go with your kitchen décor. Other Factors to Consider: Design:Īs far as food processors go, I consider this model to be designed to be a sleek while and somewhat stylish as far as small appliances go. It is not suitable for a commercial kitchen because kneading large quantities of dough or performing large amounts of cutting and slicing seems tedious and time guzzling. With an exceptional combination of cutting, slicing and mixing facilities plus a wonderfully wide feeding chute, it barely comes as a surprise that it bagged the top food processor award adjudicated by a leading American products reviewer!Īfter going the full hog and in considering every aspect, in spite of its wonderful features and unparalleled operation, this food processor is not an ideal choice if you are looking to befit for a fully-fledged commercial kitchen. The large jardelivers perfect processing for hearty bowls of soups and other ingredients while the smaller one is ideal for grinding and chopping small servings like nuts and sauces. Two other important attachments are the 16 cup large jar and 2.5 cup mini jar. It also has a general “S blade”which is micro-serrated and one mini-blade,which is commonly fitted in a mini-jar of this food processor. The other discs,which come with the set, are a julienne disc, a changeable shredding disc and a whisking disc.Īpart from discs, the Breville Food Processor Sous Chefcomes with blades which can flawlessly perform functions like kneading and mixing both dry and wet ingredients. For a tool that is designed to save time in the kitchen, the cleaning volume more than makes up for any time saved and then some.Among the detachable discs,one is adjustable disc and can be set to 24 different slicing options for making slices of varied thickness (from 0.3mm- to 0.8mm-at the thickest). I like Breville as a brand and their products but Breville really need to rethink their design and allow the little bowl to be used on its own as well as redesign the bowl lid components. Thats 7 pieces to wash! you don't need the little pusher lid but if you separate the lid from the little pusher it will only get lost or thrown out sooner or later as it looks like any old plastic cap.īy the time I am done blending up fruit or vegies, my entire sink washing basket then gets taken up by all the components of 1 simple blend Too many components to clean for a small blend task After 12 months of use i have found my motor is good and powerful, my bowl has so far held up to mild use but and its a big but, it takes way too much washing up for a simple blend task:įor example to use the little bowl you need the big bowl (1), the little bowl (2), the little pusher (3), the little pusher lid (4), the big pusher (5), the bowl lid (6) and the blade (7). ![]() Music will occur on two stages offering a diverse mix of local Portland music.

My favorites are Kangin and Siwon - they're also the best dancers in my opinion. One of the best parts about Super Junior is that they have 12 boys in their band as opposed to 4-6, so there's not only a lot more talent on the stage at one time, but there's also a lot more eye candy. I've been following Super Junior forever now, and they are my absolute favorite Korean boyband, even moreso than 2PM (if you know me, you'd know that I LOVE 2PM). Simple” (2011), “Sexy, Free & Single” (2012) and “Mamacita” (2014) all cemented Super Junior’s commercial success and were followed by ever expanding tours including South America and Europe.
