When I was in Vegas I tried out foursquare and I haven't stopped using it since. I like how it adds another aspect to Twitter and Facebook posts. I also like adding locations and tips. And I really like getting badges and becoming mayor of locations.
Now when Aaron and I are going to Wegmans we are jostling each other to check in on our iPhones before the other. It kind of peeves me that he is the mayor of our house. Hmmphhh.
Awhile ago a reader emailed me to tell me about an iPhone app her husband created. Cat-o-matic makes cat noises to baffle your kitty with. I downloaded it and here is Stewie's reaction.
Maybe not the typical kitty reaction, but there you have it.
When we got our iPhones, I knew I would like the easy access to email and the web browsing. But lately it's been the downloadable apps that have caught my fancy.
You can download all sorts of apps like To Do lists, Facebook browsers, calculators and some really fun ones like these...
More cowbell displays a cowbell that clanks whenever you tap the screen. It also occasionally plays Christopher Walken shouting the infamous SNL line "I need more cowbell!"
Phonesaber displays a lightsaber that let's you change the color of the blade. Then when you wave your iPhone around it makes the familiar swoosh swoosh sounds. Aaron and his friend pulled out their iPhones in the middle of the mall and started swooshing one another and I had to walk away from thier nerdy display of delight.
Urbanspoon checks where you are through the GPS and displays 200 local restaurants. By shaking the iPhone Urbanspoon then choose a random restaurant for you to eat at. Buffalo is the closest city for now, but I emailed Urbanspoon and Rochester is on their radar. Yay!
UPDATE: Rochester is now on Urbanspoon! I'd like to think it is due to my sad email I sent them begging for it to be added!
