Prepaid Adventures, starring T-Mobile · October 19, 2012

While it’s true that this site is for the most part an iOS development blog, I branch out from time to time when I feel like writing about a particular topic. Today’s topic is cell phone service providers. I have to imagine that most of the readers of this blog own a cell phone (hopefully [...]

Another day, another app store. Here’s Shikaku Madness on Google Play. I was able to use my brand new Nexus 7 to test/publish an Android Cordova build of the game.

For the month of January, I’m running a pricing experiment with Nonogram Madness. For the first two weeks, I’m pricing it at $0.99, and for the last two, $1.99 (the normal price is $2.99).
