What Does Your Workspace Look Like?
I am always very fascinated with the workspaces of others and frequently check out Lifehacker’s posts on their featured workspaces. So, for this iDevBlogADay post, I thought I would keep it short and simple with a request. I want to see (and I’m sure others do too) photos of YOUR workspaces (especially those of you with standing desks).
Seeing someone’s work area is especially...

Free App Per Day Service
As many of you may know, I created a site called Fresh Apps. This site started as sort of a Digg for developer submitted iPhone apps. Since then, we have added plenty of new features and have grown a community of over 10,000 iPhone users.
Recently, I have noticed a few services sprout up that basically have a schedule of apps that shift from paid to free for a given day. The most notable...

New Year, New Blog Theme
I seem to change my Wordpress theme more often than I change my socks. I just tend to get very bored with my blog aesthetics. Not to mention, I will always find someone out there with a cooler blog theme than mine.
After setting up a blog site for the pastor of my church (http://brownbishop.com), I fell in love with the Standard Wordpress Theme. Not only is the theme absolutely beautiful out...

Changing Your Life In 2011
For this blog post, I decided to take a small break from my Twitter Client for Mac tutorial series and discuss something a little more useful ;) . I felt that a fitness post would be most appropriate around this time of year as all of our “Geek Guts” begin expanding.
My Fitness Story
It’s December 23rd and as we gear up for Christmas, we are also compiling our New Year’s...

Does He Have A Memory Leak?
My wife has this interesting problem of having vivid dreams about whatever she was last watching/discussing before bed. Last night, I was explaining to her all about memory leaks as I had a discussion with a coworker earlier in the day about them. She was curious, so I gave her a very simple explanation in which she could understand.
Later in the night (about 3 am), my son woke up screaming....

Advertising Now Available
[caption id=”attachment_1282” align=”alignleft” width=”297” caption=”Current Public Site Stats”][/caption]
I am now offering advertising in the sidebar for the killer price of $10. I felt that the Google Adsense ads looked super spammy and this is a much cleaner way to handle things.
So please give me a hand with these server costs, show off your...

Now that we have some of our UI built, we need to add a key feature to our Twitter client: The ability to write and publish a tweet.

Link: Minecraft Like Rendering Experiments in...
I found this article while browsing reddit and was blown away. I have been a little mystified at the potential algorithms used by notch to render the terrain in Minecraft.
This provides a killer explanation of some interesting algorithms that can be used to generate such worlds. It also contains the source code that you can download and play with.

Creating A Twitter Client For OSX - Part 1
With the upcoming release of the Mac App Store, I can only imagine another gold rush is upon us. Clever Indie developers making money hand over fist while the store as well as developers find their identities. With that being said, I feel that there is a serious lack of interesting (maintained) Twitter clients for OSX. I say “maintained” because Tweetie for OSX is just fantastic,...
