Handy gadgets for designer on the go

Hi there, fellow designer with a running passion in your mind! How the things are going there, where you stay today? It's quite cold here, in  Moscow, Russia. Autumn is finally here, with rains and crap of all other autumn related sort.

Today I'm going to discuss a topic of working on the go. We are surrounded with android and ios devices like smartphones, iphones and tablets with ipads -- let's find out what can we do on the go, while in transport, moving our beautiful heads from home to work and back. Some say that samsung and it's galaxy note is a best choice, I've never used it, but here is some news about second version of galaxy note with 5.5 inches super AMOLED HD display. Weather it worth buying or not, who can say.

I, for myself, have found out that there are few things I can do with mobile devices and few, I can't. With my tablet (acer iconia tab) I can draw sketches and review page templates. Comment them with picsay pro, for example. With smart office or docs to go applications I can take care of budget stuff while on the go -- it's a nice time-savior for me.

With my lg optimus l7 which features 4.2 inch display I can do much point and shoot part of work -- it's really helpful in this area. PicSay pro, camera zoom fx and instagram applications are of great help too. It's quite good for notetaking and social investigations. And it's a google in your pocket, that's the best part.

So in conclusion I can say that if you have same needs as me, you don't actually need any tablet.

Tip for a busy runner

Hi there, fellow runner! Today's agenda is full of lifesaving. As I can predict easily, you don't have enough time for anything important during the day. Your work and friends plus family relations consume most of your time and you are drained completely. That's why you are getting fat and feel upset sometimes, right?

There always are few tips for the rest of us, who can't stand the situation. You can't rely on any help from gym, you don't just have time for such activities, according to the terms of the question. But if you look closer at your daily routine, it will reveal two big slices of free time which are terribly underutilized. I'm talking about the way to and from your office.

Try to rethink that way, look at it from the runner's point of view. I, for myself, had discovered that I can achieve 30 minutes of forest running from my path to office and about 30 minutes of plain walking with beautiful landscape in the evening on my way home. Of course you shouldn't rely on this method too much, it's not a substitute to your carefully developed training plan, but as a short time solution it works best.
