Dan Jones has been in the technology field for more than 10 years and has been an avid sports fan his entire life. He owned and operated his own computer repair and tutoring company (Blue Side Down) for 8 years before converting the website into what you see now, Boston Super Blog. He finds himself becoming more interested in sports every day and enjoys discussing them with friends. He also enjoys spending time with his lovely wife in their home on the South Shore and playing with their yellow lab pup, Cooper. Although he doesn't have much time to write he certainly has no problem vocally expressing his sports opinions, just ask. (You may regret it as he has a tendency to go on tirades.) Whenever he does post you should read it, you won't regret that you did.

Apptastic-ness

Here’s a list of 14 apps I think you need to get (yes I know 15 would be a round-er number but NO, 14 is all you get!)

 

 They are all FREE and not full of junk. I made the links go right to the app in the store so if you click them from your phone it will bring you right to them.
  1. Waze GPS - It’s an awesome GPS app that is free and has live updating traffic, accident reports, and piggy finder
  2. RedLaser - Scans any barcode and will give you a list of places to buy it with prices.
  3. KeyRing - Get rid of bar code key tags and store them in this app – gives you special promotion stuff too.
  4. Ski On Neon - Freakin sweet game.
  5. SlyDial - You can call someone with this app and it sends you straight to their voice mail.  Useful for sending a message but avoiding a conversation…
  6. XBox Live - You don’t need it but it’s an easier way to send XBox messages to peeps. (Like Me!)
  7. Road Hero - When someone pisses you off while you’re driving this app makes it easy to report them to the RMV (literally).
  8. AppMiner - Like a app but don’t want to pay for it? This little guy sets up an alert for you when you’re app goes on-sale or free.  Handy indeed!
  9. Pintley - Drink Beer, Rate Beer, Get Beer Recommendations… beer.
  10. xyPlayer2 Lite - able to play any video file, so when you get an attachment for the stupid BMX rider that faceplants or the monkey smelling a poopy finger, you can watch it on your iDevice no matter the format!
  11. Word with Friends Free - Scrabble… with friends… for free…
  12. Hanging with Friends Free - Hangman… with friends… for… FREE
  13. Scramble with Friends Free - I think this is like Boggle?  I don’t remember boggle but if I had to choose what I thought it was this is it…. with friends… for free.
  14. Chess With Friends Free - I’m not going to justify this one with a definition, if you don’t get it… you aren’t intelligent enough to play chess… with friends… for any price (HA, you thought I’d say free didn’t you?)

Is Baseball Dead?

Is Baseball Dead?

I know what you're thinking so I'll just stop you right there! NO! I am not some crazy Red Sox fan that thinks the season is over. I don't think that the statistic about a team starting the season 0-4 never winning the world series is worth a damn. I mean baseball in general; Who the heck cares about it anymore? I feel like . . . [Read more]
