Thanksgiving Apps »
Thanksgiving is past, but the holiday weekend continues. We hope that this week will bring time with family, a lot of cooking, and (hopefully) some time to rest and relax. To that end, we’ve put together a brief list of some apps and services you may find worthwhile this week.
Faith Korpi’s sweet Mac setup »
This week’s setup features Faith Korpi, co-host of a podcast called IRL Talk with Jason Seifer. Faith also works as a copywriter, makes films, and teaches ballet on the side.
Faith’s ideal setup is one of the more unique entries, but it sounds very attractive.
Well, my ideal setup would be a tree house high up in a tree guarded by panda bears. There’d be a desk with an old tangerine iMac that I’d use exclusively for writing and another desk with a new iMac that I’d use for recording and video editing. It’d be the only tree house in the world with Google Fiber and my internet speed would make you weep tears of joy.
Quick Tip: Customize iOS auto-response texts »
iOS allows you to easily decline a call with a follow up text message to let the caller know why you aren’t available. It comes with a few of them built in (I’m on my way, Can I call you later?, etc.), but you can also easily customize this list to respond with a more personal response.
Bradley shares some great responses and shows us how to create our own responses. Great tip for the holidays when you’re hanging out with family and friends!

Tools & Toys Stocking Stuffer List »
While you’re relaxing over the holiday weekend, why not get a jump start on Christmas gifts? The Tools & Toys Stocking Stuffer list is a great place to get started, and then you can move on to the larger Christmas Catalog.
There were so many awesome things we culled from our 2014 Christmas Catalog. So we’ve put together some of the best and least expensive ones, into a unique “stocking stuffer” list. Many of the items on this list can be had for about $30 or less. Great for stockings, white elephant gifts, or whatever.
