ARGH — Augmented Reality Ghost Hunter
Nifty augmented-reality iPhone game. The 3GS’s compass app might have seemed pointless, but opening up these kinds of possibilities makes it worthwhile!
Choose Your Own Adventure with Hard Left: The Beginning
Wicked funny video series by “Hard Left Productions”, using YouTube’s annotations to branch.

Choose Your Own Adventure books for Kindle
I can barely think of a less-perfect match than “Kindle” and “Choose Your Own Adventure” book. The “Back” button will be priceless!

A choice quote
I was re-reading Robin Sloan's short story Mr Penumbra's Twenty-Four-Hour Book Store on my iPhone last night, and came across this quote again, which I just love.
Since the iPhone Kindle app doesn't allow copy-and-paste (for who knows what sort of dastardly bootlegging would occur should that be permitted), I instead screen-captured the page, then trimmed it in Photoshop Mobile. Suck it, intellectual property overlords!
(Of course, since Robin's story is CC licensed, this is perfectly legal!)
