The days of simple diagnoses and simpler one-pill that cures all is long gone. These days it’s a cocktail of pills that addresses every illness one is unfortunate to encounter. The geekiest option is of course, to turn to a trusted mobile app…in this case, any of these Android apps which can help to remind you to take pills on time.

It’s amazing how even the most organised individuals can occasionally find themselves up that notorious creek without a paddle. Plan B is the application to install when your phone is already missing. However, if you’re really going to get prepared for that lost phone scenario you might like to install a few other great applications too.

If you spend a considerable amount of time working at your computer with no Corporate Big Brother to monitor what you’re doing, you may find yourself spending a bit more time than you should be tweeting, Facebooking, and procrastinating your day away. While there’s nothing wrong with good old leisure activities, the adage “time is money” means a lot if you’re reading mentions on Twitter instead of dealing with a work-related project deadline.

I love iPhone apps that solve little problems which can often be worrisome if not addressed. How many times have you needed to know when the warranty ends on a product you purchased, or when was the last time you visited the dentist? Usually we have to second guess this type of information, or locate receipts to find these dates. But now there are some handy iPhone countdown and reminder apps that can help you.

For many of us who work in the cloud, we’ve come to rely on our favourite services quite heavily. We also sometimes love and trust them perhaps a little more than we should at times, leaving ourselves open to losing everything we have built with the service so far. So I put a bit of thought into the best ways to back up RTM tasks so they’ll always be protected and available.

I love statistics and analytics. No, I don’t mean statistical analyses and finding what the mean and standard deviation of things are, I mean seeing statistics and analytics of things I actually use, such as websites and social networks. In the social network department, the most interesting one is definitely Twitter. Believe it or not, I’m fairly new on Twitter, and using it seems like a constant process of learning from what has already been done.

Every now and then you come across an application that blows you away. Recently, I wrote an article about applications for skiers and snowboarders, and this one flew under my radar. Recently, I decided to spend the $0.99 to try it out, and I must say that Ski Tracks completely blew me away. This application offers so much for skiers that it is staggering. I just got into skiing this season, and I absolutely love it.

Search engine optimization. It’s a controversial topic these days. Lots of professionals have their own opinions about what constitutes a good SEO strategy. Some people insist that a solid keyword strategy is the only thing that matters, while other SEO pundits lambast the “keyword” contingent. I’ve been involved in this field long enough now that there are three solid truths in the SEO field, at least as of today.
