Moto Racer is a fun game with a few unfortunate flaws. Gameplay is simple: press the gas button to go and tilt the phone to steer. Occasionally some bad guys will swoop in beside you, and a punch button appears. At first the placement of the punch button seemed like a terrible design choice, because it’s on the same side as the gas. But then I realized it was intentional—it feels like a good approximation of how challenging it would really be to punch someone on a motorcycle. It adds a lot to… Read more »

Updated review of NetNewsWire 1.0.7 on July 25th, 2008: What a difference a week makes! NetNewsWire has been updated, and the latest version addresses the worst of my complaints. Once you’ve read all the items in a feed it disappears from the main list, and there’s also an option to hide certain feeds or delete them entirely. Syncing is faster. When you tap the “Mark All as Read” button it now returns to the main list. If you follow a link to a web page it’s now a single tap to return to the… Read more »

I just had to share this for any other Mac users that care.

With all the talk about iPhone apps right now, I figure it’s time to make an official announcement. I can’t share a lot of details at the moment, but I am working on a version of Delivery Status for the iPhone (and iPod touch), and I hope to make it available in the next few months. I plan to support most of the services that are available in the widget, with the exception of Amazon and Google Checkout. (Hopefully I can find a way to get those working in a future version.)

Things for Mac is an app I’ve had my eye on for a while. It’s a “Getting Things Done” or “GTD” app which is a concept I’ve not been too fond of. Every time I’ve tried to make sense of this organizational system, it just seems fussy and overcomplicated with too many rules. I just want to lowercase get things done, in my own way. Things intrigued me though, with an interface that’s simple, attractive, and kind of fun, honestly. The big blue inbox with the giant check mark really does it for… Read more »
