New Android App - Calchist - a calculator with history

I've been working recently on a new android calculator app called Calchist.  I've worked on all the UI/UX of the app as I'm the only designer in the team.  The rest of the team compiles of two programmers.  The goal of this calculator is to make a slick looking app that does the primary jobs of a calculator.  On top of that, it records your history of your previous calculations if you want to use them for future calculations.

This is from a recent company called Reveri, which I am one of the three co-founders.  If you would like to check the app presuming you have an Android phone, you can click on the image below to take you to the google play store page.  You even get to judge my ui/ux design skills.  Prost.

Keep App - Fastastic Free App for Android Users (Keeps You Organized)

I used to write everything down.  Monday to Sunday, a list of things I had to do whether it's drawing, design, freelance, personal project and the list goes on.  I killed a lot of trees.  Fear not android users, for people like me I have come up with a solution.  I'm going to tell you to use the pre-installed app that comes with a lot of android phones that other people have designed and developed...

it's useful and looks might pretty & intuitive

You can make notes for each day of the week and make a list of it.  You can check them off, and even set a reminder for it.  I looked for 20 seconds to find an image online.  As you see above, you can change the color of the background to diversify the content.  I have 7 green blocks created for the 7 days of the week.  The other blocks have different colors to separate the content.  You can even take images and add them there to make a note of it.

By no means is the app perfect, but it's still fantastic and free.  The reminder for example is incredibly basic and you can't add your own sound effect for it to make it more prominent.  It would be nice if there were different sections or folders.  That way, you have one section where you have weekly list, another section for work list, and another section for other.  Arranging blocks could use a bit more fine tuning, though it's still pretty good.  Add subsections to lists would be nice.  So Project 1, has 2 mini lines with work #1 and work #2 for example.  Enough of these ramblings however.  You need to have some type of list app/routine to stay on top of things, and this app does it for free.

iOS users, the app doesn't exist for you all.  I'm certain there's similar apps for iPhones, but I can only help android users in this case.

Youtube Copyright Changes - You done good Google

You done good Google, you done good. I have been complaining to my friends, making facebook statuses about it as if anyone cares, and to random strangers on the street that Youtube's copyright policy is pretty terrible. How dare Google have their own way of doing things for a free service that they provide to me?

I hope that "2" icon isn't a copyright flag, as it 

still states good standing on my account....

I create illustrations that are recorded then uploaded in a sped up process into an average of just over 5 minutes of said illustration. I upload them on the first of every month.  I generally have to look everywhere to find a song that doesn't get copyrighted, or just use a Ramin Djawadi/Two Steps from Hell song since their music doesn't get flagged. I never monetize any of my videos. My idea is not to make money on this personal, monthly project of mine. It gives me deadlines to paint digitally every single month. I get to learn more about programs like Adobe Premiere, Audition, and AfterEffects. Of course if I am lucky, a video blowing up would give me the opportunity for a lot of potential clients in the future as well. The more people that would see the work, the more likely I have freelance, job opportunities.

 About time!

As you see above, it states that you can have music background as long as you don't monetize it. All I can say is thank you and about time, because I'm as entitled as the average person albeit quite self-aware of it, which I do not believe makes it any better.

Normally I would have to go back to AfterEffects, change the song, change the image icon of the song and re-upload everything again.  This might not include all songs but if it does, it's all I ever wanted Google.  Well.. it's one thing.  I am human, which means I'll always want something else the second that I get or attain something that of which I've longed for. 

Youtube, the place for crap customer service

Ahh youtube, yet another niche song that I pick for one of my speed paintings.. yet another time I get an infringed mark from a company that has nothing to do with the music company that published it. Well done Youtube and Google, I can only hope that one day the monkeys that are running behind that lengthy programming can end up finding a better way how to not screw over the people that originally made them money. Google really needs to find a better middle point.. or rather to find a middle point. Do better testing in regards to what company calls for an infringement, and adding a human contact after contacting the 12 customer service robots and their answers after which you never hear from them again.

It's unfortunate the amount of suits making decisions for Google that have bit by bit, transformed Youtube into a soulless website. Hopefully in a few years, there will be a competitor because at this point, I don't see a company doing a cruder job than what Google is doing with Youtube. I would imagine this post will fall more in line of either people sympathizing with this ideology or calling me a whiny, entitled prick who should waste less time on things he doesn't like than the things he does enjoy.
