Feed Your Mind…
Sometimes, you need to take your mind off of work for awhile and catch up with what’s going on in the world. I recommend these apps:
- BBC News
- Slate Magazine
- NY Times
- USA Today
- Pulse News
- The Wall Street Journal
- NPR for iPad
- The Onion
Of course, there are countless other apps you could use. But these should be a good place for you to start.
I hope you find this helpful.
