Speed.Dial for iPhone is a clever little $0.99
Speed.Dial for iPhone is a clever little $0.99 application that let’s you add a “speed dial” icon for your most frequent numbers dialed. Perfect for making a one-touch “call home” button. I’ll definitely give this application a try.

Finally! The stapler of my dreams! This is my dream stapler and I found it in good working order at the antique mall. It has a flip plate to switch between staples that press inwards and outwards. I prefer my staples to go inwards but I’m sure there’s a good case for staples that splay outwards as well. Purchased at the River Market Antique Mall for less than $20.
