Kicking the iPad envy up a notch: Plants vs Zombies HD. # Someone's asking for a hot tub on freecycle. I think they're missing the point. Or I'm missing out on a free hot tub… # Apple knocked off Xbox Live for iPhone games. Didn't see that coming. # “If we said we wanted to […]
It’s interesting to compare the PC market with the current mobile market in terms of the technical limitations of the platforms, and how developers work within those limitations. Back in the day, a developer could release an application that was just adequate on today’s hardware, knowing that before long, the hardware would catch up. And […]

Matthew’s 4th birthday party was yesterday, and I think his party went great. We started a little tradition of using a piñata as part of the festivities a couple of years ago, and discovered that the piñatas they sell at party stores aren’t designed to bust open when you’re hitting them with a stick.
