Augur, Version 2.0 – Coming Soon

To top things off, I decided to make the app free. I sold a small amount, but honestly – I started to wonder whether I really wanted to charge or not for the app. I’ve spent a lot of time on it, but ultimately I decided that I’d rather have more people see it and use it. Obscurity being the bigger challenge, right?

Exploring Periscope

I will say though that the videos kind of do inspire me to want to say something silly or something quick. I’m not sure why that is, but from a viewer’s perspective… watching someone else’s video kind of makes you want to chime in. Even if it is a video of them just going through their fridge.

Recho: Audio Recordings Tied to Specific Places

“What inspired us to create Recho is our love of podcasts. One day when discussing our favourite episode, we both remembered exactly where we had been when listening to it. And this sparked the question: What if a story belonged to a place and you would have to be at that exact place to hear it?”

Somebody: Messaging App That Allows Strangers To Deliver Your Message

Somebody is a quirky, whimsical app that basically allows one person to send a message to another, but through a third party (stranger). The concept sounds a bit weird (and even a bit creepy at first), but I actually really dig the impulse behind it. Note that both the sender and the recipient need to have the app installed, in order for this to work. And the recipient also gets to dictate whether now is a good or bad time to receive messages.

Hyperlapse: Timelapse App That Steadies Video, from Instagram

The effect is incredibly cool, but I suspect it’ll be a few short months before we’ll be inundated with commercials that utilize this effect. In fact, I was convinced that this effect would have gotten to us first via commercials… so I’m quite surprised to see this in the hands of consumers so quickly.

A Problem Charging My iPhone, and a Novel Solution

Lately, it’s been harder and harder to charge my iPhone. I figured there was some kind of corrosion on the inside, as it seemed to work with some cords but not others. In Frankfort, a few days ago, late in the evening I realized my phone simply refused to charge at all – even when plugged in.

Playing Around with Vine: Documenting Your Life, Six Seconds at a Time

Recently acquired by Twitter, Vine lets you use your phone to record up to 6 seconds of video. But the interesting thing is that it doesn’t need to be a continuous six seconds. In fact, a great deal of the enjoyment comes from stitching together numerous shorter moments to tell a larger story. Think of Vine as the animated GIF’s older brother.

Intelligentsia iPhone App: How to Make French Press Coffee

Whenever I try to make coffee using a French Press, I’m never quite happy with it. On the whole, I think I tend to make my coffee overly strong… so it helps me to actually have specific directions to follow. I recently heard about Intelligentsia’s iPhone App from my friend Matt (who works at Intelligentsia, and was also the 2006…

Stanza: Free, Electronic Book Reader for the iPhone

Recently I’ve been using Stanza, a free electronic book reader for the iPhone, during my morning commute. While I’m not quite sold on reading books electronically, so far my experience has been pretty pleasant. If reading on an iPhone is this way, I can only imagine how much better the experience would be on something like an iPad. While Stanza…
