Here’s a song I did a while back to test out GarageBand. Backing track is mostly from one of the Garage Band Jam Packs, and the audio is from a live Patty Larkin performance of the song ‘Dave’s Holiday.’ Download DaveTest1AAC (m4a format)
WordPress does allow me to link to these files, will have to also try embedding them. There are also presumably wordpress plug-ins that will help me present multiple media files with the appropriate previews and stuff.
iBuddha is still going strong on the iPhone App store. You can get it here.
Sales are still underwhelming, but we’re fairly proud of this app, which features 1025 different fortunes culled from such sources as Buddha, Confucius, Mark Twain, George Orwell, Groucho Marx, and your local Chinese take-out place.
If you aren’t willing to shell out 99 cents for the full version, there’s a free version here instead. The free version has only 25 of the fortunes and doesn’t include the lucky numbers feature, but will give you a pretty good idea of what to expect.
Richard Johnston and Simon Rohrmuller’s Watchmen parody comic is now available in full color on the iPhone App Store.
This standalone version of the comic uses our reader software, which we’re calling the Weasel Reader at present. The reader is relatively intuitive, you tap on the right third of the screen to move forward, left to move backward, and in the center to expose other controls. The nice thing about doing the comic as a standalone app is that it’s fairly easy to find on the App Store. The downside is that anyone buying a lot of comics would end up filling up their icon real estate pretty quickly.
Watchmensch is also currently available in black and white on the Panel Fly comics app. I’ve colored the interior pages on the color version (which will also be available on ComiXology shortly).
