Everything about your life is exciting. To everyone. Visit us at: http://jotly.co

Why have lots of apps when you could have just one, that let's you rate everything? Jotly is the new app for iPhone and Android that takes redundancy out of app usage. Instead of downloading individual apps to rate all the different things in your life, download Jotly and rate your entire life, with just one app.

iOS Boilerplate - A base template for iOS apps http://mitchmckenna.com/items/view/10117/ios-boilerplate-a-base-template-for-ios-apps

The boilerplate includes the following libraries: ASIHTTPRequest, JSONKit, SVProgressHUD and few others.

It also includes helper classes for: - HTTP requests and an image cache (both in-memory and disk-based). - UITableViews and UITableViewCells: fast scrolling, async images, pull-down-to-refresh, swipeable cells. Maps and locations: directions between two points, autocomplete a location, etc.

Note: Some of the libraries here may become obsolete once iOS 5 is released, see: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2996785

Super Twario http://mitchmckenna.com/items/view/8569/super-twario

How would you feel about getting a bit more out of Twitter? A bit more up, a bit more down, a bit more left and a bit more right?

Sound like fun?

Super Twario can take you there. All the way there. Like, all the way to 1989 and back. Or forward.

Super Twario is a whole new way of experiencing Twitter. Jump back to the heyday of retro platform games and then drag them into a future of 140 character conversations and a hundred billion friends, followers and stalkers and you start to understand what Super Twario can do to your twext life.

Tilt to move Twario around a world built from your Twitter feed and leap around to interact with Avatars and fill your Tweets with a lot more fun. Tweet, Reply, Retweet - all that is taken care of within Tweet World.

And, like any self-respecting platform game, every action has a reaction as Super Twario is fully Game Center enabled with achievements and scores just sat there waiting to be unlocked. By you.

So what can you expect? - Platform based Tweet World - Tilt controls guide Twario through the Twitter feed - Tap to jump - Swipe to run faster - Unlock Game Center Achievements - Tweet, Retweet, Reply from within the App - Day / Night mode just so you don't, y'know, forget

Reflecting on the Apple iPhone 4 Ad http://mitchmckenna.com/items/view/7535/apple-iphone-4-this-changes-everything-again

Man does Apple know how to make things pretty - both products and ads. I followed the announcement, and I'll be honest I wasn't really impressed, but somehow after watching this ad you can't help but want one. They introduce that wifi FaceTime in a way you forget we've been doing video convos over skype for years, lol. The open standard is cool (who defines this standard though? apple?) That antenna built into the frame is pretty smart (if it works). All that glass and HD screen looks pretty sleek. What do you guys think?

Knocking Live - Nexus to iPhone http://mitchmckenna.com/items/view/6868/knocking-live-nexus-to-iphone

Knocking Live Video is a free video-sharing app for iPhone, and now for Android, that broadcasts live video from one smartphone to another. Qik can be public or private , whereas Knocking Live Video is currently only private, and Qik streams to the Internet. Knocking Live Video's niche is phone-to-phone broadcasting, which is inherently a private way to share when both parties have Knocking Live Video up and running on their phones.

If Old Spice made ads for Apple... http://mitchmckenna.com/items/view/6500/if-old-spice-made-ads-for-apple

Absolutely priceless parody of the Old Spice commercial ''... but for Apple geeks. Tall dark and handsome is replaced by pudgy, pale and dorky but I guarantee it has the same effect on Mac fanboys as the original did on millions of women worldwide. And of course, he's on a horse.
