Urban, But No Spoon

March 20, 2009

When I was in LA, I used Urbanspoon for iPhone to find a restaurant close to LAX. It said there was a CPK right down the street from the airport. We had a little trouble finding it, but saw a sign and parked in the garage next to the address only to find out that it was the CPK corporate office. Money wasted on parking: $2.50. Urbanspoon: deleted.

Nueva

August 27, 2008

I found NuevaSync on Saturday, and I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that it has changed my life. Being able to enter and modify appointments directly on my iPhone instead of having to wait until I’m at my computer… How did I survive with it any other way?

Dapp

February 7, 2008

Needs more exploration but potentially quite useful: Dapper. Supposedly, it enables you to turn any website into XML, RSS, a Facebook app, etc. Their demo is pretty impressive; the thought of nabbing a feed based on a search string is very appealing.

An Experiment Gone Useful

January 24, 2007

I’m quite interested in the Artypapers framework, although I must admit that their archive of Artypapers website designs is, arguably, my favorite feature. “Each project is created so that it will take advantage of the common code while producing its own additions to it. The resulting code is then turned around and upgrades are made to the applications created previously. It’s tedious, it’s horrible, and it’s totally worth it in the long run.”

A great widget for assembling multiple CSS color schemes for your users (or that friend who never seems to match their background color to their images…).
