Technology is woven into our daily lives like never before. In the Sand House, I dance with technology all day long. Here are a few snippets into what this looks like on a typical day.

What does a digital day look like for you?

Morning drive: I listened to my favorite podcast

Using Apple’s Podcasts app, I listened to my favorite radio show – Freakonomics. Today I learned all about the hidden side of tipping. Did you know that quality of service influences a tip by only 4%? And that the more tipping you see in a given country, the more corruption you generally see as well? Now you do.

At my desk: I saved a note to Evernote via email

I registered for a mixer with the local chamber of commerce, and forwarded the confirmation email to Evernote. By adding “@ Biz Expenses” to the subject line, it landed in the right place with one click.

Lunch: we listened to Pandora with our Jambox

Streaming free Pandora radio via our Jambox, Avery and I listen to our favorite station – Family Folk Songs – while eating lunch in the sunroom.

Bedtime: watched an animal video on the iPad

Brian has recently discovered Jonathan Bird’s Blue World and cannot get enough of it. Tonight after bedtime stories, we enjoyed seven minutes of SEA SNAKES!

Bedtime: grocery shopping on my iPad

The iPad again… once the kids were asleep I did a little online shopping for groceries. I picked up my order the next morning after camp drop-off. Bonus – I used this $20 promo code from Shop Rite.

Bedtime: I signed a document electronically

I used the SignEasy app on my iPad to sign a lease agreement for our rental property. Just a few clicks and I sent the lease on its way without having to print, sign, scan, and attach to an email.
