From Macworld:
Unlimited coffee!
This week’s roundup of apps includes ways to buy coffee, plant your garden, plan your tasks, and call a cab. Oh, and everybody’s favorite web-slinger makes an appearance, too.
Upon further review, caffiene-ation will only work in New York City… đ The rest of the apps look rather interesting, though; check ’em out: This Week in iOS Apps: Unlimited coffee! (if anyone stumbles across the “call a cab” app, let me know).

At Coco’s, we tried to order burgers formerly on the menu and got heavy into the laws of physics. The logic stick also made an appearance…

At The Sweet Setup:
Every week we 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:
Dr. Drang: consulting engineer by day, scripter/blogger by night, benevolent snowman on Twitter.
You can catch Dr Drang’s complete story here: Dr Drang’s sweet Mac setup.
“Back issues” can be found here: Sweet Setup Interview.
Tomorrow, at 2:00p, is the Mac Play class, subject TBA, at Di-No Computers.

Whaddya think? Agree? Have a different scheme in place? Comment and let us know.
