I was writing some article for Aweseurs.com (I forget which one) and as I was research the particular device I noticed some cool stuff about the new version of HTC Sense. One of the cool features is the ability to go from the lockscreen directly to an app, such as the camera app, saving considerable time.
I began to wonder if there might be some app that someone has already developed that would replace the lockscreen and that might do something similar. Lo and behold I found LockMenu for free! This app allows me to choose up to six apps (seven if you want to replace the sound toggle slider) I might want to quickly jump to upon unlocking my phone. read more…
Since I signed up for e-billing for my cell phone carrier, they were kind enough to give me a free phone skin from Skinit. I chose a nice black/white/grey design that I think complements my Evo just perfectly. I chose not to use the skin pieces for the front of my phone because I like the look of the design just being on the back.
Check out Skinit to see if one of their many many designs could suit your fancy. Don’t forget I’m running a contest for the month of April (2011) and will be giving away a free skin at the end of the month! Enter to win!

I’ve had my HTC Evo (Android phone) for about a year now. I think the design of the phone is amazing by itself. I love how it feels and I love how it looks. Today I want to share how I took an awesome phone and made it look a lot cooler.
You could use stickers to spruce ‘er up a bit, like I have on occasion. BUT…

Tablets are the newest form the computer has taken and they are all the rage.
Wait, maybe they’re not really all that new. Microsft’s been trying to get various forms of tablets to take off and hasn’t succeeded. Apple, with their iPad release, has really whetted the market’s taste buds for the tablet revolution.
Either way, tablets are big and now there are many different assorted sizes, makes and models to choose from. Sure, your Apple friends will have you looking at nothing but the iPad or iPad 2 but is it really the right tablet for you? read more…

Hey fellow Android users out there! Have you begun to experiment with different launchers yet? Yes, you can actually replace your phone’s stock launcher (since I have an Evo, the stock launcher is HTC Sense, which is cool in and of itself) with a third party and often free launcher of your choice.
There are many to choose from and there are several articles in the wild comparing many of the best. I thumbed through many articles from veteran Android users who had much good advice and I finally came to the launcher that works for me (for now). It’s called ADW.Launcher and yes, it is free. Here’s why I like it so much. read more…
I just read an article in my local newspaper that a local elementary school is soon to be participating in a program where each student will be given a netbook in order to replace their textbooks. It’s a big experiment attempting to move kids away from textbooks and paper learning to using computers and technology to teach them. They’ll have their textbooks on their netbooks and there will even be possibilities of interactive learning using these computers.
Being a tech blogger I can’t help but have some thoughts on the matter. Read what I’ve got to say but then chime in with your opinion. Technology is certainly changing the way be read and learn and this is quite the hot topic today. read more…
What is this augmented reality thing all about? We keep hearing about it. It’s been featured in video games and even military technology being developed today. We’re even beginning to see it implemented into personal technology we hold in our hands today. What is augmented reality and what’s so cool about it? read more…
As you know, Timmyjohnboy.com has a Facebook page. That means you can “like” us on Facebook, receive updates in your news stream and interact and comment on posts and stuff. Well, Facebook has come out with a much needed upgrade (read the announcement for yourself). Let’s go through a few of them, and perhaps you’ll see why I’m a bit excited about it.
First, I am excited that I can now be notified when someone comments on a post. Why in the world Facebook hasn’t had that earlier I’ll never know. It’s pretty annoying having to scour my Facebook page every so often just to see if there’s any kind of interaction. read more…
