Dang, it sure does suck when you don’t have your phone anymore. All those day to day conveniences and connectedness ends up being this total VOID! But then anger kicks in when someone steals your shit and you’re out two hundred dollar phone and your passwords- along with your bank account info.

For a thief who steals someone’s iPhone or Android it ends up being similar to hitting the lotto. Passwords, emails, text messages and access to just about anything everything else. With no work involved and more than likely minimum risk.

For many phone users they do not even think about any of this. There actual apps out there for Android, iPhone, and Blackberry (which will be out soon) that you can purchase which will add a tracking to stolen phone. Many people do not jump on this, I’m assuming because it costs money on top of phone insurance which totally adds up. It all adds up- plus the economy being what it is just adds to the reluctance, gotta save wherever you can.

Read up on some more information as well as awesome tips. The apps that were mentioned earlier, find where to get them.

As all of us already know the economy sucks- like SUCKS A BIG FAT ONE! Along with the awful BP “incident” off the Gulf Coast the cost of oil and gas has gone up. For many of us in big cities $3.00 a gallon is a common site.

Finding gas stations which are the cheapest in town can be a pain. While driving around, wasting the little bit of gas you had in your tank you end up going to the gas station that costs the most because you ended up being too picky- desperate times call for desperate measures.

This is where this FANTASTIC FREE, let me say again ———-> FREE FREE FREE FREE<———– app comes in.  Gas Buddy is an app you upload on to your phone, it will give you the cheapest gas station where ever you might be at that time. This is also awesome if you are road tripping because as we all know the most expensive stations are the ones nearest to the interstate.

Gas Buddy uses your GPS and Google Maps which is  more than likely on your phone. Some versions have the navigation where the person talks you through the directions.

Be sure to upload it here! Quit paying up the a** for gas already- find a good deal..

I recently came across a really cool blog post that showed me a great app biking, hiking, running and perhaps other uses you can think of training tool it’s an app called My Tracks for your android phone.
This is a pretty cool app, keeps track of speed, distance, elevation and time on your screen for you. When you finish your workout it is a simple matter to load your workout up to your Google docs and track your workouts over time.

The app will also let you share your route and your workout with others if you tag it properly and upload to Google maps. Awesome!!
I love to find a new bike trail when I get out and go camping. A new mountain trail is always cool!
I can also see a lot of cool uses for this while traveling. When I am visiting my in-laws in Thailand we are nearly always driving around blind and it would be so easy to record my trip and have it ready for the next visit that I take or to send others of my family there when they travel over for a visit.
Anyway, super cool app, check it out!!
My Tracks!!
