app recommendation: mr. reader

mr.reader.2

ever since i bought my first ipad, i’ve been looking for the perfect rss reader app to run my google reader through.  i’ve tried reeder, feeddler, flipboard, and a few others before settling on newsrack.  newsrack did everything i asked it to, but at a snails pace over 3g and wifi.  today it took almost 20 minutes to update my feeds, so i went looking for another app.  luckily, i stumbled upon mr. reader.  it’s everything i’ve been looking for in an rss newsreader app: clean, fast, and fully customizable.  if you’re like me and keep up with a ton of blogs, there’s no better app on the market right now.  it might be the best $3.99 i’ve ever spent.  download it here.

steve jobs 1955-2011

your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life…stay hungry.  stay foolish.

the quote above is pulled from steve’s commencement speech at stanford university in 2005.  you can read the whole thing here.

i’m an apple fanboy.  i’ll miss steve jobs.  there was comfort in knowing that at every apple product launch he would be there in his black turtleneck, ripped jeans, and new balance 991s.  dude was a total rockstar.
