Dear Bags On Board…

craig — Tue, 02 Nov 2010 00:01:59 +0000

Dear Bags on Board, here’s your next million dollar idea. Regardless of what color bags you sell, the last 3 bags should be a different color. That way when I’m out using your clever little fire hydrant shaped dispenser, I know that I’m going to be running out soon and to take an extra roll.

Skype for Android, skip it (for now) [updated hacked APK]

craig — Tue, 05 Oct 2010 17:42:45 +0000

Skype for android is garbage.
It does not support Samsung Galaxy phones.
It does not allow calls over 3G. (excludes skype to skype)
It does not allow you to store the obscenely large application on the SD card.
It does not allow you to sort and hide contacts.
It does not have video calling.
It does not recognize the back button.

What it does… it gives you Skype to Skype calling and messaging between Skype contacts.

For shame Skype, you can do much better.

[UPDATE!]

Lookout Mobile Security

Lookout Mobile is a fantastic application that I have been using for several months now. The initial appeal of the application goes beyond the ‘security’ aspect. Don’t get me wrong, the virus scan is valuable for those of you who blindly download applications from the market, but the real value for me is tracking/finding my phone.
There’s a stellar feature that will basically turn your phone into a panic alarm with the click of a button form the easy to use web interface. This helps if you’re prone to losing your phone around the house. The other feature is live tracking via GPS. While there are factors that would make this tool useless, for most general tracking this is a great (and free) solution.
I really enjoy this app, and for the price ($0.00) I’d recommend it to everyone. Feel free to run daily backups for your pictures, scan your phone automatically for viruses and provide you with a general peace of mind with Lookout.

Tumble is the 21st century Jenga

craig — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 16:10:28 +0000

Of all the games that came on the PlayStation Move demo disc, tumble was the only one that I went back to play over and over. Friends were requesting that I pony up and pay the $10 for more levels and when I did I found so much more.
Not only were there new levels, there are more challenges, block types and hidden in plain sight are hours of enjoyment. I’d highly recommend this game for playing with friends. It’s as challenging as you make it and has lasting appeal.

8bit dreams with Cubescape

craig — Thu, 16 Sep 2010 18:39:51 +0000

I love Chrome experiments, the Arcade Fire recently launched their own to promote their new album. One fantastic experiment I just came across was Cubescape. It allows you to draw 3D isometric pictures by dropping little blocks, it also allows you to play back the entire process from the beginning. This can be especially fun if you spend a lot of time creating a complex graphic and want to watch your creation grow.
This is a great use of HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Give it a try, it’ll blow your mind.

Cubescape was developed by Cameron Adams
