Applications

These are a few of my favorite applications that are on both the iPad and computer.

1. Doc As (ipad, free)
Doc As is a very useful document reader for the iPad. It includes drawing on the document, reading it, renaming, typing on it, and more. It’s many features make it versatile and powerful. This editor/reading tool has a layout that is very navigable and quick. I highly recommend this awesome app.

2. Steam (computer, free)
Steam is the perfect application for any gamer. You can play any game, from Arma 3, to TF2 and more. It is one place where you can buy, delete, give, play, and sell games of all kinds. Steam is very fun, useful, and has millions of eager users worldwide. You can friend people, join there games, and see their progress.

3. Final Cut Pro (computer, $299.99)
Final Cut Pro is a video editor for Mac. It Is convenient and useful, making multitasking and navigation throughout the product easy. You can use this for any thing: from a quick video project, to a full on special-effects-filled movie. It is easy to use and even more easy if you have used iMovie. Final Cut has all the bells and whistles, from keying out a green screen, to making animations and intros. It is also very compatible with Motion and other Apple products.

4. RC Plane 2 (iPad, free)

RC Plane 2 is a free iPad game that is very fun, laid back, and simple. You fly a little RC plane through challenges, dog fights, and leisure free flights. You can pick from a super large variety of planes. Like the training plane, or even a fast jet.

5. Superimpose (iPad, $0.99)

superimpose is like Photoshop for iPad. you can cut pictures to use on other ones, change exposure, brightness, and more. I love making little posters and funny photos of things that don’t make sense. Even if your just playing around, I highly recommend this app.

Maudie’s

The air, warmed by the hot stoves and food. People mill around in the waiting area. The tables glow in a faint orange light. The smells of delicious tex-mex fill the air. Maudie’s.

Maudie’s is a great tex-mex restaurant in Austin, Texas. It has many types of delicious foods and drinks, but something you can’t beat is the comfort and atmosphere of Maudie’s. It gives you a sense of a warm, soft, happy environment with people laughing and talking all around.

The menu is packed with delicious foods, from enchiladas to queso, and more. Everything on the menu is amazing! The taste of the food fills not only your mouth, but the air, and the smell is to-die-for. If you go at night, you’ll see the bright string lights hung in the outside area. The entire restaurant is clean, comfortable, and air conditioned.

Overall, if you’re in Austin, and you have nowhere to go, Maudie’s is the perfect place for a great meal. Enjoy!

The Dungeon of Despair (phantoms lair)

Forgotten

The dark, dank, and dull walls stare back at you with disgust. From the start, you realize that you are not supposed to be here… that no one is supposed to be here. A stench of dried out food and wood fills your nose and mouth. Old books and scripts lie on the ground. The cold floors bring no welcome from down below. The phantom’s lair, the phantom’s “dungeon of despair”.

Foot steps hurry down the dusty, creaky stairs! But no one is there, just the sound of whatever tormented thoughts hide here. For no one has been here for… years. The emptiness can be felt in your bones, in your thoughts, in your steps…

In the center of this cavernous room, stands an old, cobweb-covered organ, the plugs and pipes holding rat villages. A chair, once brown, is white from wear. Dust covers the floor, turning it pale-brown. But no foot-prints. A mirror covered in dirt sits on a table. At the edge of the room, a throne sits . Only an owner-less mask lies in it. Dark shadows loom here, this is not a happy place, you know that much. Someone, and not just anyone, has been here.

The Phantom, or whatever is left of his presence, is in that chair. This is  no place for the living, its a “dungeon of despair”.
