You guys, I just wanna be Tony Stark. Every time I watch an “Iron Man” flick, I long for the ability to control my computers and devices with gestures, just like Mr. Stark himself.

After watching “The Avengers” about a bajillion times, I’m still jonesing for an app that will let me “swipe” files and images between devices with a single gesture, just like Tony Stark does with Bruce Banner in the SHEILD Helicarrier laboratory. Til I can get my hands on that futuristic …[Windows] Columbus Browser is a lightweight and quick internet browser [Mac OS X]
I have heard of a lot of internet browsers, but I had never heard of Columbus Browser. So when I came across it, I was looking forward to giving it a try.

If you already use Loops on your iPhone or iPad, you should definitely check out Loops for your Mac. Loops is the fun, safe …[Mac OS X] Boost productivity and mental focus with Pomodoro, a pomodoro technique timer app
I can’t name a single person in my social circle who doesn’t yearn to be more productive during their working day. One of the reigning kings of the productivity world is a little thing called the Pomodoro Technique. A look around the Mac App store shows tons of Pomodoro-themed timer …[Mac OS X] Attach labels and notes to pictures with PhotoNotes
I miss physical photo albums. Not often, but on occasion. One of the things I miss most is seeing handwritten notes on the backs of photos, particularly in my parent’s old albums. Yeah, modern photos have plenty of annotations of their own, but there’s something that’s still nice about the …[Windows] Create your own video game with GameSalad (no programming knowledge needed!)

There’s a spot in my house that gets an absolutely abysmal Wi-Fi signal. Unfortunately, that spot just happens to be my bedroom. On the one hand, it makes me get up in the morning when I want to check my email. But on the other hand, there are mornings when …[Mac OS X] Unravel a scifi enigma in Mystery Island II, a cool retro game
I have yet to meet a gamer who doesn’t get nostalgic for the retro graphics of old school video games. If you grew up playing video games in the early 1990s, you probably have a secret soft spot for polygon graphics, simple game environments, and limited, simple controls. If you …[Windows] Money Manager EX is a free, open-source, cross-platform, and easy-to-use finance management program [Mac OS X, Linux]

Did you watch “Rocko’s Modern Life” growing up? It was totally my favorite Nicktoon, especially the episode where Rocko and the gang took over Bighead Studios and started making their own cartoon. I couldn’t help but think about that painful, old school animation process as I experimented with Animation Desk…[Mac OS X] Store bits of code or notes in one place with Snippely
When I want to aggregate all of my stray bits of HTML or notes to myself, I generally just toss everything into my MacBook’s Stickies application.

That’s why I was really intrigued when a tech …[Windows] UMPlayer is an excellent portable video and audio player that plays over 270 different audio and video file formats [Mac OS X, Linux]
