Two cool new iPhone apps
I just started playing with two new iPhone apps that I thought were noteworthy. The first is CNN Mobile, a great news app that supports video and sports an excellent layout. I have always been trying to find a high-quality news app but have never been quite satisfied. CNN Mobile has earned a spot on my home screen for the time being.

I'm back, baby!
I just got back from Costa Rica two days ago. I’ve been going through my photos and videos but work is kicking me in the face. When I catch up in a couple of days I will post some of the cooler stuff as well as some interesting things I experienced.
