iPad App of the Week – Touch LCD Designer Speaking Clock
This week’s featured app is brought to you by the developers at LightPillar. The Touch LCD Designer Speaking Clock is by and large the best alarm clock app out there for both the iPhone and the iPad. Recently I did some redecorating in my room, which allowed me to clear my laptop off of my nightstand.

I’ve recently been confined to my office doing very mundane computer work. Being in my office all day has lead to many distractions (people walking in without knocking, the phone ringing off the hook, etc) which has prompted me to find a way [...]
