9 paid iPhone and iPad apps on sale for free right now
Zach Epstein, over on BGR, has a bad habit of posting lists of cool iPhone/iPad(/iPod Touch)(/Apple Watch) apps that are temporarily free.
Here’s the fine print:
These are paid iPhone and iPad apps that have been made available for free for a limited time by their developers. There is no way to tell how long they will be free. These sales could end an hour from now or a week from now – obviously, the only thing we can guarantee is that they were free at the time this post was written. If you click on a link and see a price listed next to an app instead of the word “get”, it is no longer free. The sale has ended. If you download the app, you will be charged.
Here’s the link to today’s apps:

Who are you and what do you do?
At The Sweet Setup:
Every week we try to post a new interview with someone about what software they use on their Mac, iPhone, or iPad. We do these interviews because not only are they fun, but a glimpse into what tools someone uses and how they use those tools can spark our imagination and give us an idea or insight into how we can do things better.
Today’s victim, er, interviewee:
My name is Bradley Chambers, and I am the Director of Information Technology at Brainerd Baptist School in Chattanooga, TN.
You can catch Bradley’s complete story here: Bradley Chambers’ Mac and iOS setup.

Were You at the Meeting Last Night?
If not, you missed some serious WOW!! How else can you describe images from outer space getting home and promulgated safe and sound?
At Coco’s, the word(s) was VPNs, tethering, politics, and the latest Star Trek movie.
That’s my story; I’m sticking to it!

Today’s victim, er, interviewee:
My name is Chris Powell, and I live in Bellingham, Washington. I’ve been a professional technologist for about 20 years now. Currently, I’m the IT Manager for the College of Business and Economics at Western Washington University. I am also an instructor with Whatcom Community College’s Community Education program, where I teach various technology classes. I have a freelance technology consulting business outside of my work with WWU and WCC, and I’m a co-host of Bellingham Podcast Media: Tech where we talk about life in Bellingham and discuss all kinds of technology topics.
To balance my tech life, I like BBQ grilling at home, finding creative ways to get 10,000 steps each day, and researching ways to hack my life. I’m the uncrowned king of all ’80s TV trivia, and have been spotted playing bass and electric guitar live at various venues around Whatcom County.

Apple’s New File System
From Steve Sande, on OWC (Other World Computing)’s blog, Rocket Yard:
Without a file system, your Mac, iPhone, iPad or even your Apple Watch would not work. A file system is used by an operating system like macOS and iOS to read from and write to some sort of storage, whether it’s a huge hard disk drive or a speedy solid-state drive (SSD). All Macs currently use a file system called HFS+ (Hierarchical File System Plus), an outgrowth of the original Hierarchical File System that was introduced in 1985 with Mac System 2.1. With the roots of the file system now over 30 years old, Apple just announced a new file system called APFS (Apple File System) that will be shipped on all new Apple devices starting in 2017. As new versions of Apple operating systems roll out later in 2016 — macOS Sierra, iOS 10, tvOS 10 and watchOS 3 — existing devices will use APFS. (Note: You can read Apple’s APFS documentation here and watch an introduction video here.)
For the whole article, PYBT: Tech 101: Explaining the New Apple File System (APFS).

Were You at the Meeting Last Night?
If not, you missed some very interesting speculation, prognostication, demonstration…
At Coco’s, AAA (the Auto Club), Lenovo’s CEO, piggy banks, wildfires, and Siskel & Ebert were all the rage, at least at my end of the table.
That’s my story; I’m sticking to it!
