Recently, I read (shared on our Facebook page) the article Productivity Tips for Developers over on the RocketTheme blog.   If you’ve been a reader for awhile, I am always looking for ways to improve productivity.  In this article, there were some great tips and reminders for developers, especially if you work remotely.  One that I often forget is BREAKS!  Yes, I know, it seems obvious, to take a few minutes away to allow thoughts to gel and ideas to form but sometimes, I just get so caught up.

The article capped off the great tips, with a few of the members of the RocketTheme  team (if you don’t know RocketTheme, you might want to check out their templates and extensions) listing out a few tools that they find helpful.  One such tool is Dash.  I’d not heard of it before and anything with the word “dash” in it, I have to check it out.

The other day I was talking with a friend, well we were arguing about an event and what really happened.  To settle it, my friend pulled out their smartphone and scrolled through their images to find the one that would prove one way or another, who was right.  As we waited for the search end, my friend commented that they had to "clean up" to free up space.  

This caused a turn in the conversation to data storage, physical vs. cloud and so on.  For computers we can plug in a USB drive, push to a cloud account and the like.  What about our mobile devices and tablets?  Depending on your mobile device there may be a built-in method of storing "off-device" but what about sharing with others - assuming you are not using Facebook or something?  What about when stuck on the road?
