I tried the Places Directory app and it's really cool, and I'm wondering if there are any similar apps for restaurants and hotels where you can organize the list by the quality? Like if I only want to stay in a 5-star hotel or eat at a fancy restaurant (5-stars as in something upscale and fancy, not necessarily just a 5-star review). Something like that where the search can be refined, instead of just showing you a huge list of everything.

I am a beer lover, and like to sample lots of different beers. I am looking for a program that will allow me to log the beers i have had, and take a few notes. Preferable id like the log to be able to list the beers.
Any ideas?

Sounds like the task for a spreadsheet so you could just use Excel Mobile
I'm not sure about a program, but you should definitely check out http://ratebeer.com/. If you sign up for a free account you can rate and review all of your beers, and it keeps all of your records and you can sort by rating or style. It's a great resource to find good beers and keep track of the one's you like or dislike. I actually haven't tried it from my mobile, but I'm sure the site would come up fine in Skyfire or Opera.
......and if you haven't tried Stone's Arrogant Bastard Ale or Ommegang's Ommegang Abbey Ale.....you owe yourself a taste.
I do a similar thing, makng a note of all of the books I read.
I use Phatnotes, which is a 3rd party alternative to the built-in Notes app and vastly superior

How about setting up a blogspot blog and hitting it when you try a new brew? I blog using ping.fm sms service. Works great!
You should try Shiner Beer's new 100 years of Beer Commemorater. Just had my first taste of it last night. Will have to try a few more tonight.......
Now this is my kinda thread.
Handy shopper is good for making lists of stuff.
look that up
Edit: Freeware
Me <3 beer
I've been looking for an App to update me on NASCAR races and turnouts. Scoreboard doesn't support any time of racing sports, and the only thing I could find was Races!, but it costs money, gives a poor description, and the review(s) haven't been kind. Anyone know of a good app that maybe I just can't find?
Yea id like to run an app while out of the house to see lap by lap positions, and a track with cars on it as visual...maybe being to vague but i dont think we will see one anyways...
Hey everyone,
I just put up All-Star Food Finder in the Windows Phone Marketplace. It's one of my first apps. Check it out and let me know what you think. Here's the details:
Do you drool when you watch Guy Fieri stuff his face with delicious foods at a diner 100 miles away? Do you get pumped when you watch a Man v. Food eating challenge and say 'I can do that!' ?
All-Star Food Finder helps you find the restaurants featured on popular TV shows like Man v. Food, No Reservations, Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives and more!
Search by state, search by name or just discover what's near you using your GPS location and you'll get to try all of the food goodness you've seen on TV.
All-Star Food Finder ties in real Yelp reviews so you'll know if a restaurant is really worth your while to try.
You can also save restaurants as Live Tiles to your home screen for fast and handy access.
When you buy All-Star Food Finder, you can save restaurants to your own I've Been Here List and your personal Wish List. In addition, the paid version is ad-free.
Looking or comments, suggestions or just any feedback in general. Thanks!

Hey,
Just found this in the US store but notice it's not in any other marketplaces...
I know the app is full of US restaurants but I'm doing a three week roadtrip round the USA in the summer and something like this would be awesome to have.
Could you consider publishing it to other marketplaces (UK at least please!) so that I can buy a copy?

Thanks for an informative post. This restaurant app is good and user friendly, I love to use this app whenever I go for outing.
I wanna see what's going on in the sky, maybe or maybe not utilizing the n7's 138 different gyroscopes. I'd like a live wallpaper of the latest Hubble telescope photos that switches to live video wallpaper when a meteor is about to hit us or other fun things.
Does this exist?! If not, why not?! Yes I've looked!
I'm talking about things that you can't just "look up" to see, I know there's already star charts and stuff but I'm talking like legit "kid sees this kid becomes an astronaut" type of stuff.
Please help please thanks!
Here you go.
The purpose of this thread is to both provide others with ideas of what to watch and perhaps build interest in shows that you may have not previously considered.
List (in your own words):
The shows that you are currently watching
What the are about
Why you like them
Black Mirror (Contains profanity)
About: A dystopian future drama/sci-fi series in which humanity has become enslaved in itself. Each episode is basically it's own show and has some sort of bizarre twist.
Why I like it: It's bizarre, you don't really know the twist until the end and it is a fresh take at TV. Nothing is outside the realm of possibility on this show. (Netflix is renewing this one)
The Transporter (Contains nudity)
About: Based on the movies, it a series of mini-stories of Frank's life as the transporter
Why I like it While it isn't the same actor as the movie (Jason Statham), it is entertaining never the less. It's a bit cheesy but the plot lines are interesting and the special effects aren't bad.
X-Files
About: Mystery stories about the bizarre and aliens.
Why I like it: Really really cheesy by todays standards but its nostalgia.
Hemlock Grove (Contains profanity)
About: To be honest I have no fricken clue but see below
Why I like it It has a bizarre feel to it, almost like American Horror story'ish but better
LillyHammer (Contains profanity & Nudity)
About: A comedy mob story about a mobster who goes into hiding in Norway and tries to live a quite life but don't go as planned.
Why I like it It's got Steven Van Zandt from the Sopranos and it is just a funny awkward humors show.
Marco Polo (Contains profanity & Nudity)
About: Netflix's verison of Game of Thrones but taking place in Asia. That about sums it up.
Why I like it It's a different take on Game of Thrones (which I have never seen because I don't have HBO)
Orange is the New Black (Contains profanity & Nudity)
About: A girl who made all the right choices to live the high life find that they were wrong once she's grown up. Goes to prison and learns that life is very different.
Why I like it It's interesting to see how different interaction is on the inside and the characters she encounters. Crazy Eyes is hilarious too.
House of Cards
I just binge watched all 3 seasons of House of Cards this Labor Day weekend. It was pretty good and I recommend it. Political drama with scandals, getting ahead, etc etc
Very reflective of our current political scene with the lack of ethics etc, but holds your attention with amazing acting, especially by Kevin Spacey who was an awesome actor in his own right before the show.
Definitely recommend, and you can get all 3 seasons on Netflix, with season 4 coming in 2016 (filming now)
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
This show is funny as hell. And not that lame humor you see in most shows like Big Bang Theory and Friends etc (no offense if you like those shows) but more subtle and "intelligent" humor, somewhat like 30 Rock but even a bit different and better I think.
The plot doesn't matter too much, but it's some girl who was in a bunker for years while some dude had them in there because they thought the end of the world happened, then she comes out to see the world etc, but it's really funny and definitely recommended. Season 1 is on Netflix to binge watch, season 2 coming in 2016.
__________________________________________________
Both shows I mention are actually owned by Netflix, who in my opinion has hit home runs with their original broadcasting.
@SyCoREAPER - you've got me interested in Black Mirror now, never even heard of it and have been looking for a new binge watching show to compliment my Sunday NFL couch sitting!
I watch very little TV, I will go a month without watching literally anything then spend 3 days literally do nothing but binge watching a show, so these Netflix shows are really good for that purpose.

Not really on topic for this thread, but I think you can only do it with a VPN possibly... probably better to discuss it in another thread though.
