Text Edit: I made an app for that
Tuesday, December 8, 2009 - Tech
Today is the one year anniversary of my Android app, a simple text editor appropriately named Text Edit.

Way back, when I first got my new G1, I was looking for that perfect app to write blog entries. I wanted to save the files so I could later open them on my laptop.

It turned out the only app that worked also sucked b*ll*. That's when I decided to turn my previously useless Java programing skills into something and made my own.

Now, a year and 40,000 downloads later, Text Edit is still making people's lives better. People like James who writes, "Simple, as a rapper, I just needed a simple app to open and start typing my verses." And Andy who says, "Like ptext but better."

So if you have an Android based phone, like the G1 or Droid, please give Text Edit a try, it's free. If for no other reason than to inflate my download count.

With a broken hand and classes underway again, I can neither write nor type my notes into a full keyboard - but I can thumb-peck into your Android app on my Droid. I saw the app - "That Paul Mach?" - and downloaded it for shits. Now it is saving my hide. Thank you.

Came home and found 2 Sea Otter Jerseys at my door. Excited 'till I saw they were the "freeride" cut. eBay?

Not sure what to make of this headline. Should I be flattered or shattered?
