Top Ten List -- Favorite iPhone Apps

This doesn't include apps that came with the phone, such as Safari, Camera, Photo, Mail, YouTube, etc.  These are the top 10 iPhone apps that I've actually downloaded -- mostly for free.

10.  DC Metro -- You select a station and it tells you when the next train will be arriving.  I can see when I leave my office how much time I have to get to the platform to catch my train.

9.  PapiJump -- A fun, mindless game that makes you move the phone to make a ball jump up and up.  Of course, it gets more difficult the longer you climb.  Very addictive.

8.  iRadio Now -- This app plays a variety of radio stations, including our favorite from Fort Myers, FL, Sunny 106, which plays various easy listening, 70s, Frank Sinatra, etc.  It makes me feel like I'm in Florida anytime.

7.  Brain Tuner -- Another addictive game that tests your basic math skills and supposedly prevents Alzheimer's.

6. Phone Flicks -- Lets you update your Netflix queue on your iPhone anytime.

5. Snap Tell -- Helps prevent impulse buying by showing the book, movie, or cd I'm about to buy can be bought elsewhere for much less.

4.  i.TV -- Helps not only with what is on TV, but shows movies and times in the area.

3.  SitOrSqat -- This was nice to have when we were visiting New York City and wanted to find a nice, clean bathroom.

2.  Urbanspoon -- Great way to find new places to eat in DC or other cities we may be visiting.

1.  Shazam -- I don't actually use this application very much, but it amazes me.  It listens to just about any song and tells you the title, who sings it and where you can buy it.  How do they do it?

Memories of Florida -- Alligator Alley


These shots are from are trip to Florida in January, when we drove to Key West from Tampa via Route 41, aka Alligator Alley.  This was at a rest stop on the road with a boardwalk that features lots of wild gators.  Just driving along, we saw countless gators on the sides of the road.  It is not a good place to have your car break down.
