January 28th, 2011 | Connor Turner

An interesting success story is brewing in the local Calgary iPhone development community. Prolific app developers, Robots & Pencils, seams to have dug-up a major success with their latest release of Minecraft: World Explorer for the iPhone and iPad.

Next Stop: Calgary Transit Elegantly Displayed in the Palm of Your Hand
December 29th, 2010 | Connor Turner

One of the most common apps to be found on the iTunes store is the every popular local transit app. In most cases, these apps are done by independent developers looking for ways to help improve their local commute or hashed together by the reigning transit authority in attempt to help ease commuter dissatisfaction. Rarely […]

The Nenshi App
September 29th, 2010 | Daniel Lemmon

Welcome to the new age of the political revolution my friends. In a time where the attention span of eligible voters is at an all-time low, you have to make every moment count. So if you’re having a quick discussion on Calgary’s upcoming civic election on October 18th (check out calgarypolitics.com and calgarydemocracy.ca for all […]

Murphy’s Law and the myDomains App
September 27th, 2010 | Russ Fee

As per Murphy’s Law, coming up with a truly great url will only come in two possible instances: at a bar or on the toilet.

Truthfully, neither is an ideal situation to jot down a quick note. Also according to Murphy’s Law, the only time you’ll forget to renew a url you already own is when you really, really need it.

myDomains by A New Qualtiy and RandomType aims to boil down the process of finding and protecting your precious domains to a dead-simple exercise. Entering in a potential URL gives you just the information you need right away: whether it has been taken and (if it has) when it is up for renewal.

Dead of Night: Vampires vs. Werewolves vs. Steampunk
August 13th, 2010 | Connor Turner

This is going to be incredibly difficult, but bear with me. I’m going to try and review the incredibly addictive new Vampire vs. Werewolves game – Dead of Night – without making reference to them. You know THEM. You know, that other group of Vampires and Werewolves which have infected pop-culture for the past four years.

So bear with me.

Dead of Night is the latest release from Calgary’s BigStackStudios, the team behind one of this summer’s biggest hits Sigma.

If you’re familiar with the BigStack catalog you’ll be familiar with the gameplay and concept of Hottie Hookups (or just familiar with Russel Fee’s fantastic review from earlier this year) then you’ll be familiar with this game. As Dead of Night is a second rendition of the Hottie Hookups concept. This time, instead of pitting nerds and sexy bar stars against one another other, Dead of Night pits Vampires, Werewolves, and the dread (and incredibly cool) Steampunk Van Helsing against each other in a epic battle for the souls of humankind.

The Cardinal App: Your Music Is The Message
July 30th, 2010 | Daniel Lemmon

This review comes with a preface regarding social media outlets like Twitter and Facebook. If you’re not a participant on either, then sorry kids, this app isn’t for you. But for those of you who are connected, then this has a little more bearing on you.

I’m relatively new to the social media world in the grand scheme of things. But what I’m not new to is the music scene. One of my greatest passions in life is music. The creation, enjoyment and proliferation of music drives my soul. So when I first opened up Cardinal Music I had one thing to say: where have you been all my social media life?
