I’ve gotten a lot better at not buying the “hot” new apps once they arrive on the scene. App purchases are often impulse buys due to their low monetary cost – but the time cost can be much greater. That’s why I am “wish listing” a lot more of these apps – and there are […]
The Omni Group has released the first set of videos from the talks at January’s OmnFocus Setup event. This first installment features talks from Tim Stringer, Dinah Sanders, and Sven Fechner – as well as the contexts discussion facilitated by Thanh Pham and Michael Schechter (my podcasting partner-in-crime).
