A great and nice looking app that I think might let you do this, is called Concentrate Timer. It's free and i've used it for time management/tracking before.

Why not use the Stopwatch in the built-in Clock app?
The goal would be to track multiple and maybe be able to put a short description so I can look at it maybe at the end of the day and remember what the issue was for adding a more formal ticket (I do help desk work)

That does look great. I hope you can change the color scheme though.
Anyone here try mind node? I've seen it advertised lately and it looks like its very powerful.

That looks nice as hell.
Is their a way to get apps like Reeder/Instacast to notify you when you have a new post/podcast?
Oh lawd my body is ready.
You can add podcasts to any rss reader using their rss feed. It should be on their website. Here's TAL: http://feeds.thisamericanlife.org/talpodcast
Instacast HD has push. The iPhone version doesn't yet because of costs: http://www.vemedio.com/blog/instacast/instacast-hd-1-0-recap

I don't even know what that complete rewrite would do, I can't see it getting better than this, the Reeder app is so good on my new Ipod, simple and fast and the UI looks nice. I like the swipe left the star and swipe right to mark as read.
You must not be subscribed to a lot of feeds. Reeder is so elegant when working with a big google reader account. Combined with readability, it's the best.

Yeah, I'm kind of surprised to see someone say they prefer Feedly to Reeder. Reeder just has a purity to it that stems from its singleminded purpose -- letting you read your RSS feeds without any distractions. Feedly has always struck me as existing in the limbo between Reeder and Flipboard.
Actually, I do have quite a few feeds. The ONLY thing Reeder has over Feedly (other than UI) imo, is that it has a list view, where feedly has yet to add that (but will be soon).
I just don't like looking at a bland list of story titles, especially on my phone. With feedly, i can have categories (tech, politics, comedy etc) and view the most recent stories, with picture covers, and browse through.
Feedly lis basically like Flipboard combined with Reeder, in many respects.
Feedly doesn't have readability support. You know how many RSS feeds don't give you the full article and force you to tap "continue to read"? They force you to go to their site to read it. Readability solves this by pulling the rest of the article into Reeder.
Feedly:
Reader. See that couch in the top right? Tap that and…
Voila. The entire article presented in the app's UI without needing to go to their shitty mobile site.
Things I also find to be lacking in Feedly:
- No unread badge?
- You don't seem to be able to mark all as read. The only thing I can find is "mark category/feed as read" when you're inside a specific feed or folder. And you can only get to that if you're specifically navigating to that folder or feed. (Which i'm not. If anything, I'll be in latest or my feedly) Additionally, the mark as read button is only available after you first tap the wrench icon. It should have a dedicated button that's always accessible.
Reeder's UI is just much quicker at accomplishing tasks. Navigating in and out of feeds or categories is the main interface so it's all presented up front. With Feedly, you have to click the black status bar on the bottom, and then scroll down to your folders, and then go find the specific feed you want.
Speaking of the folder list, why is it showing me all my Google Reader folders even if they don't have any unread content? Those should be hidden unless I specifically want to see all my feeds.
Reeder's home page, with bottom toggles to switch between your starred, unread, and all items. As it should be:

That's the part that confuses me. I can see making a case for something like Feedly on the iPad but it almost seems like the minimalism of Reeder works much better on a 3.5" screen.
Feedly will have a list view in the next update, pending approval, it also greys out read items and does let you mark an entire page as read btw... However I do like the idea of going preview -> reader rather than preview -> actual article -> reader
Only one step removed, but would make the whole process a lot quicker. Feedly is so much nicer to use and look at though, especially since it has pictures relating to the article

I was hoping for an iPad version

Oh my, mobilizer toggle built into the browser.
And inline thumbs, finally.
What app is that?
Tweetbot, fantastic Twitter client.
Holy shit, looks even better in motion (which is rare to come by). This might actually be the one to finally replace the stock Reminders for me. Should be hitting within a month or two max, right?
Fuckers, if it isn't something for iPad or equally amazing (like a new app) then they deserve any shit that flows their way afterwards, lol.

new tweetbot is....AMAZING. and that one more thing is a native iPad app. I said it first
Because it's really fast and the UI is more intuitive.
Might give it a shot.
I'm not much of a Twitter use though so maybe that's why I don't see it.

LOL. The tapbots guys hate android. Just check the dev twitter accounts and you'll see they're waiting for the app store to update.

Tweetbot just has a much better design. It's sleek, responsive, and a joy to use.
The new official Twitter redesign is LEAGUES better than what it used to be, but I think I'd still rather use Tweetbot.
