iPhone Game Review: Little Metal Ball

I'm having a lot of fun with the iPhone game Little Metal Ball. Having been a big fan of Labyrinth (seen Labriythn 2 yet?), I was naturally interested in checking it out. Instead of the wooden maze approach, they take a whole level approach with many obstacles. You have the ability to jump and I feel like I've only seen the beginning of the difficult, creative levels they are going to through at me that will surely turn my love of this game to pure frustration. To capture the feel of the game better, I've filmed a good level (sorry about the slightly blurry video, but don't worry, it gets the point across) and I have several screenshots that I hope conveys the feel of the game well. Check it out if you're interested in another amazing addition to the iPhone games library. $1.99. Also be sure to check out the developer's trailer video for the game.

Sierra Nevada's Torpedo Extra IPA is an assertive & sharp yet smooth India Pale Ale that I just love every time. Also, considering the fact that it's usually in the regular six pack price range of $6-7, I enjoy it as a repeating favorite beer.

I love Apple Macs. Steve Jobs and his team has created one of the best platforms for enjoyable and effective creative outlets. But that's just what it is: a platform. What you build upon it is what makes it unique and amazing. Technology is what you make it. Read on to see a list of the applications I install almost as soon as I reinstall my computer's OS.

Sketching on my iPhone

I've been playing with a sketching app for the iPhone, SketchBook, that is pretty awesome cause I can paint over pictures I took on my iPhone, so it really helps guide my sketch. Also, the amount of control, settings, and brushes combined with ease of use, and an overall feeling of fun once done, make this a great app. $3. Here's one of my first sketches:

I have a few friends who are transcending up to the utopian world of iPhone owners, ready to leave behind the frustrating user interfaces of cell phones of old and ready to never be bored in a line again. So, of course, they'd like to know what to put on there. I figured if I was going to type it all out once, I may as well put it up here so it can get reused. All links below will open iTunes.

India Trip Trials: The USPS Lost my Passport

I had to send my actual passport in with my Visa application for India and the United States Postal Service lost it. Why didn't I get certified mail, you ask? I did! Tracking number and signature guarantee upon arrival were a part of this service. After it had been 10 days with this informative website you see a screenshot of, I decided to call into a real person, surely they can get the wheels turning and find out what happened to my passport. Once I got a hold of someone, I was told they would look into it and they would get back to me the moment someone found anything. So, I waited. I got a hold of them later that week and she told me that no one was answering the phone down at the Embarcadero Post Office and since I didn't call her she thought I got it all worked out. What? They aren't answering the phone? Yep. That's what became the final answer to this fiasco. After 20 days missing that's all they ended up telling me was that no body at the post office was answering the phone. Isn't the Post Office a government agency? This seems ridiculous to me. I have lost all faith in the USPS. Fed Ex and UPS for me from now one.

Beer Review: Ivan the Terrible (Imperial Stout)

Ivan the Terrible pour

Ivan the Terrible is an Imperial Stout Barrel Aged & Bottle Conditioned by Big Sky Brewery in Missoula, MT. A limited release, I got bottle 1133 of 1152. The label mentions using "English Hops" and "American Malt". The pour is incredible dark with a large, creamy, dark head. The lacing is very good and lasting. The aroma is one of the most notable qualities that delivers a knock-out earthy oak smell that is very malty. The texture is thick and bourbony alcoholic. The bottle says 8.75% but I think that it is way more.
