The Apple Watch: What to Do With It

So critics have been saying that it won't be that big of a deal but here we are and it is sold out. So far the mobile applications have been extensions of existing iPhone applications and no completely new ones. IFTTTs spin off, the Do Button, lets you automate certain tasks that you do every day that can be automated. Think of things like your thermostat or other services. To be totally secure, you should have a different password for each service you use, and they should be hard to remember. That's where a service like 1Password can make a difference: It keeps all of your codes in one place (securely) and, on Apple Watch, will let you quickly pull them up, should you ever forget them. Now if you have time to be wasting, you can download an Apple version of the digipet. Do you even remember those? Try Sidekicks: Dragor, which puts on your wrist an adorable virtual pet that demands food, play, water and sleep. As if you did not have enough to worry about when it came to taking care of the people around. Doesn't everyone wish to have a pet dragon?

Building Resilience

Whether you are a business professional or a software development expert, it is important to be able to be resilient. Heck, it is just an awesome life skill to have. One of the first things that you should do is remain realistic. You need to be able to understand the reality of the situation in order to solve any problems that arise. If you are not, you can slip into denial and the problem will just spiral out of control since you are not equipped to fix it. Problems and mistakes can be perfect learning tools. You need to be able to walk away from a problem that is solved with experience. You cannot be asking yourself what have you lost. So next time, you know to do it better. You also need to be able to be resourceful. When faced with a tough problem, the solution might not always been given to you or be very obvious. Lastly resilience requires facing down the competition, improvising solutions and creating something meaningful out of work.
