This week I've chosen to spotlight an image viewer replacement app for your Android device. It's called B&B Gallery.

Multi-touch gesture control is supported, along with cover-flow view in landscape mode. It is a true improvement upon the standard image viewer app shipped by default on Android devices.

While doing some virtual spring-cleaning on my computer hard drive, I came across an open letter written in January of 2008 to the head of the INTEX (Integrated Experience) program at BYU's Information Systems Undergraduate Department.

Infants, toddlers, and even older children seek to mimic their parents in whatever they do. Have you ever been typing on a computer when your child comes in to the room? They naturally want to play with it, of course! But aside from turning off the computer, your little boy or girl could wreck havoc upon your personal computing device, deleting programs, messing up your desktop, or worse. Yet at the same time, turning off the computer just so your kid can play with it for a few minutes is really inconvenient. So what is one to do?

Have you ever filled out a lengthy form on a web page? Imagine you are writing a blog post, for example. You click submit, but for some reason your connection breaks and the post isn't submitted. What happens? You click back, and the form is clear and blank! All your hard work is gone!

A post about my life recently as there hasn't been an update from me in quite some time. It's interesting to see how the busier I get in life, the less time I have to update my blog. Really it is simply a matter of priorities, and I promise I'll do better in the future. Anyway, on to the update of my recent life...
