I’m a big fan of the ocular arts. Every now and then I find a little morsel of “visual crack”: blog.yimmyayo.com.
Be Warned: Some of the content is NSFW. But all is tasty in its own way.
Enjoy.
Involving The Artsy-Fartsy
June 23rd, 2010OnLive – From a Mac perspective
June 22nd, 2010I’m not a heavy duty gamer. At least not any more. I still enjoy the occasional shoot ‘em up game, mostly I enjoy the quick and dirty mini-games I can get in and get out quickly. Yes I am a Wii man.
The prospect to get some of the games I’ve enjoyed in my younger years at the drop of a hat, at my discretion on my Mac is very appealing.
Enter OnLive. I was a bit dubious of a streaming game service, but they have done a fantastic job. The game play is impressive. If I were into the best graphics, sound, screaming performance I might find the service sub-par. But you can’t shake a stick at the convenience and cross platform aspect.
I think most game players (especially those like me who are not avid gamers but would like the option to play some of the newer involved games on your Mac) will be very pleasantly surprised.
Top 5 (free) Android Apps
April 8th, 2010So, I’m not that big into lists. But on occasion, I have been known to organized. So here I present my top 5 favorite *free* Android apps.
Swype (http://swypeinc.com/index.html) Softkeyboard replacement. This is one of those things where it just makes sense. I was not too thrilled with the softkeyboard on my HTC Hero. With this app though, I look forward to having to type on my phone. Its quick, simple and fun.
Timeriffic (http://code.google.com/p/autosettings/) I use my phone as my alarm clock, and I was in the process of writing my own app to control the settings on my phone based on time of day, when I came across this app. It does the job very well, and can have multiple profiles, for say, the weekend, vacation, etc. My phone all but turns off at night, and automatically sets the ring tone volume, and notification volume back to normal at a decent hour.
Cubed (http://abrantix.org/rockon.php) Link is to producer, not the actual app. This player is top notch. Great interface, and impressively well done for a free app. This IMHO puts my phone on par with my iPod. (for the features of music play).Cubed Music Player
Dolphin Browser (http://browser.mgeek.mobi/) The built in browser is good, but Dolphin is better. Gestures, and a slew of other great features make this my browser of choice. I’m interested to test out Fennec (Firefox Mobile) when it comes out, it might be a contender for this spot.Dolphin Browser
Layar (http://layar.com/) Search + Location Aware + Augmented Reality . Points you in the right direction for whatever you are looking for. This thing is awesome! I’ve used it often and is one of the first apps to get showcased when talking to anybody about my phone
Runner ups (Yelp, Wapedia, Google Voice, Replica Island)
