A feature we started in the Statesman to feature mobile app creators in Austin appeared again in Monday’s paper. This one was about ATX Innovation, Inc., which makes an app called “TabbedOut” that allows you to open and pay off a bar or restaurant tab from your phone. Neat!
Also on Monday, I did my first NPR All Tech Considered segment in a while. It was about companies like Google and Microsoft racing to offer cloud-based e-mail and other services to government agencies and city governments like Los Angeles.
Here’s the blog post with the audio embedded and the page for the segment itself from All Things Considered.
More stories coming in the next few days! It’s been a strange few weeks and things are starting to feel like they’re going back to normal.
