The look of iOS 7
I agree for the most part with this post. I’m not crazy about the icons – I particularly dislike the settings icon. Me: “I don’t like the settings icon” Tina: “Yeah I preferred the gears better” Me: “It is gears, see?” Tina: “It looks more like the fan in the back of a computer” But,…

iPad Coding
I have decided to field-test the iPad as a work tool on our trip to the US. I will be definitely cut off from 3G, and will have only occasional Wi-Fi (unless the bus has it, in which case I’ll be laughing). I bought Textastic on a sale today and it’s very impressive with its…

ToDo done
I went on a little while ago about ToDo apps, and finally decided to jump on Appigo’s ToDo for the Mac. Â It’s OK. Â It has a few nice features but it’s missing things like adding tasks easily from Mail, or a nice quick systemwide interface using a hotkey. They do have a systemwide interface, but…

HEIST
MacHeist is happening again! Â Check out http://www.macheist.com and it should make (very little) sense. Â It’s a sort of puzzle game with some super software rewards connected with it. Â It usually ends up with a software bundle for sale, but not until after a ton of stuff gets given away for free!

iPhone Programming & Objective C
A couple of weeks ago I started down a long & twisty path, by reading about iPhone programming. I first bought the eBook to the right, but put off starting to read it until I had worked my way through a bit of a backlog. In the meantime, I discovered the great iTunes U program…
