Now that I have an iPod Touch, I use it for a lot of daily tasks. That includes waking up and falling asleep. I use the native alarm app included with the iPod Touch, but it just does not cut it for me. The Unofficial Apple Blog highlighted a few applications that serve to turn your iOS device and Mac into an alarm clock.

Check out the list of apps at the link above.

No Experience? No Problem!

I have no actual work experience. I have yet to be in the workforce and that scares me. Every time I get a job application I think what will this employer think of me without any past work experience. Will he even think of giving me an interview? Lifehacker's Adam Dachis gives a couple of tips for those of us who are missing that experience.

"Past jobs have always helped inform my choices at future jobs, and none of the experience was ever useless. If you have experience in something, that may be all you need," says Dachis.


He suggests getting the experience you want or need by just getting out into the world and getting it. He says if web designing is what you want to do, make a few mock Web sites. Want to be a writer? Whip up some posts on a blog. There tons of blogging services like Blogger or Tumblr to start.


If you are like me and have no work experience, just do what you love and eventually you'll get all the experience you need to get your dream job.   

Study Proves Wearing Glasses During Interviews Can Help

It is common knowledge that being well prepared and dressed for an interview will help you get the position you want. Grab a your nicest pair of pants, button-up and glasses. Yes, I said glasses.

According to a new study, a third of adults believe that people who sport bifocals appear more professional. 43 percent believe they seem more intelligent.

The next time you land an interview wear a pair of glasses, real or fake, to better your chances.
