It’s not all that new.
My first boss ever, Lenny Higgins of Higgins Ice Cream, always said ‘Take and Fill a #10 tin with hot soapy water and clean the…”
Lenny had it almost right. The task is very clear, “Clean the…” all the rest are ‘To-Do’s’ which are part of the task. There was no question [...]

Disk Space in the Cloud
When we started creating Appingo, we knew that a SaaS environment was the right thing.
We were right.
We picked open-source tools and found libraries that delivered functionality that would have taken a long time and a lot of effort to create.
Our system changed and grew. We added functionality as our users asked for it. We questioned [...]

More Life, More Projects, Less Hassle
And you may ask yourself-well…how did I get here?
—Talking Heads
We’ve all had those moments.
I worked for a children’s book publisher, I went early so I could shuffle pages in 20 inboxes of editors and designers alike. I’d prioritize their day based on tracking/ circulation sheet deadlines. I printed “circ sheets” on colored paper to determine [...]

AppingoSally goes shoe shopping
Fashion Friday finds AppingoSally checking her favorite shoe shop for that stylish new pair of footwear. Hmm… the sassy red stilettos, kick-ass cowboy boots, or the super-comfy lime green sandals? Which ones would you choose?

Appingo: Building Publishing Tools

We moved, we changed, we talked and we fought, we asked, we called, we designed, planned and created. We had opinions. We had disagreements. [...]

Appingo’s contribution to Earth Day…two weeks later
While our timing may leave a bit to be desired, our intention is pure! To be honest — we were going to write about how Appingo contributes to a good, healthy earth on Earth Day, but flat-out forgot. I wish we could say that we were to busy saving the Earth on Earth Day, but [...]

Multi-Tasking in Real Life
Earlier this year I went back to my high school to meet with the Athletic Director, who happened to be my football and hockey coach when I played there. We had chatted briefly at the Alumni Hockey Game in January about the coming spring season and how he was looking for a coach for the [...]

Good Appingo morning
I had a really nice Appingo morning this morning. I’ll tell you about it…
First of all, there was no reason that this particular morning should have been a good morning. I had a 7A dentist appointment. I was getting my teeth whitened for my upcoming wedding (yikes). If you haven’t sat through a teeth whitening [...]
