Mark and Wes in Pleasant Hill, CA at the Monsoon Masala restaurant.

Sites of Interest:

Wes' iPhone Applications of the week:

  • Yowza! - Launch it and it finds deals in your geographic area. Show the cashier the deal on your iPhone screen, they scan the barcode, and you save money.

  • CraigsMobileList - Wes' favorite app for accessing the craigslist website.

Mark's iPhone Applications of the week:

  • PocketMeter - It emits sound and measures the time it takes for the echo to return. Point it towards a wall or floor, touch the screen, and it will show you the distance.

  • 3 Numbers - Currency & units converter, tip calculator, and calculator all in one. But the special thing about this app is the steampunk look. To understand the true meaning of "steampunk", visit the Kew Bridge Steam Museum in London.

Mark and Wes in Moraga, CA at the Ranch House Cafe.

Sites of Interest:

Mark's iPhone Applications of the week:

  • Bump -Somehow it knows when you bump two iPhones together, and will transfer contact information.

  • Color Splash - give photos a dramatic look by converting them to black and white, while keeping your chosen details in color.

  • iControl Cat - remote control for your cat, just like TV remotes. Mark particularly liked this because, believe it or not, he bought one of these and it didn't work either.

  • Farthoven -this sort of fart app has been done before, but Mark liked the name.
