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!

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 combination of this week's task on noticings and a weak pun. Hurrah!

A choice quote

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!)
