Looking for some design inspiration in the Oreilly book “Best Android Apps”. That was a waste of time.

Vuvuleza sheet music. Finally!

Sneak Peek - Putting the finishing touches on a new feature for Montager: Rounded corners!

An oddly accurate name for an oil company. (seen in Österrich where öl = oil)

The upcoming version of Montager (1.1) supports higher resolution output (960x640 and 1440x960). Here’s the above photo on flickr. (Update: 1.1 is now available in the app store!)

Playing with my iPhone app Montager on the iPad and it looks *far* better than I thought it would. Normally when running iPhone-only apps on the iPad, graphics look blocky since the pixels are doubled in size and interpolated. (Kind of like the blurry Montager watermark in the bottom right.) But the iPad is actually resizing the images correctly. I designed the app to draw to an off-screen high resolution bitmap to output hi-res images, but it was still surprising to see it work so well on-screen as well.

I met GoSwedish on YouTube and we collaborated on this app. Quite pleased with how it turned out. I learned a ton of Swedish and I hope others do as well! More about GoSwedish…

“Bester was. Bester is. Bester the will be.”

Don’t try to count the grammatical mistakes - your head will explode. Just enjoy.

The grid system is everywhere (and always has been).

Threw a PLA “100% biodegradable cup” in my compost bin to see how long it would take to turn into compost. Forgot about it, and 8-months later found it again. It’s in perfect condition. Apparently it only turns to compost in a special “commercial compost facility”. If not, it breaksdown like a regular plastic cup. i.e. Never. I’m disappointed: In both the product and the marketing.

This is an interface for an iphone self-hypnosis app I’m working on. A session is composed of a series of audio clips, and the challenge was to show that these clips were related.

I realized that the rounded corners made them appear more like independent items, and but by only rounding the top and the bottom items in the list, it made them part of a group.

(btw, the colours in the background are not strictly part of the UI but are some groovy visuals that are triggered by the hypnotist’s voice. Just eye candy.)

Dear Quicktax: Your interface blows. You’ve actually managed to make the paper tax forms look easy.
