the new iphone hotness – distant shore

bill — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 08:47:18 +0000

our latest app, distant shore, is now available on the itunes!

we are hoping for some koi pond-like magic with this one. it is a pretty simple idea…

wander an endless beach collecting sea shells
5 sea shells = 1 bottle
use bottles to write notes and launch them into the virtual sea
find bottles washed up on your beach that contain notes from other people

check it out… and let me know what you think.

still the one

it’s been over 4 weeks and koi pond is still the #1 paid app! unreal.

we are now also a featured app so we have a bigger presence in the app store.

we couldn’t be happier and are hard at work on our next couple apps.

number one!

well, some friends and I thought it would be fun to goof around with the iphone when apple announced the dev program for the 2.0 release… our first app, koi pond, went up on the store last wednesday… and it now sits as the #2 best selling app on the front page of itunes! so good! if you have an iphone or itouch you should check it out and let me know how you like it!

padres baseball, tony gwynn, and nerd humor

bill — Sat, 19 Apr 2008 05:04:30 +0000

i have half-season tickets to the padres and normally it’s a blast. last night was just plain silly. the game went 22 innings to make it the longest mlb game in 15 years. but i had to leave in the 17th to catch the last train home. and the padres lost two hours later. lame.

anyways, i just thought i would share the brick i bought last year to honor hall of famer and mr. padre, tony gwynn.

the brick is right in front of this statue in petco park.

it’s forever fixed in time with my dated meme and mmo lingo.

i thought it was pretty funny.

dorf on wow

bill — Sun, 23 Mar 2008 04:09:36 +0000

i started playing wow again… since i installed it on my new imac!

i’m playing a dorf hunter that i rolled a while ago but he is still only lvl 18…

trying to catch up to some pals who are closing in on 40 but i just don’t have the time to devote to it.

check out my sweet duds! oi, i sure know how to make even a wow character look bad…

…and my dang blood elf bandit mask that took me 6 hours to farm!
