Thinking about Android A perspective from a parent / iPhone developer I decided to get an Android phone and also considered the possibility of porting my app to that platform. However even though this is my hobby, it is still time consuming so I didn't want to dive in if the platform wasn't going to be fruitful.
Moms With Apps video released We belong to a group of parent developers called Moms With Apps. We recently produced a short video introducing the group.
A massive earthquake hit Chile this week and many are dead and possibly millions are left homeless. Our hearts go out to the people of Chile. It's hard to believe that they suffered a larger hit than Haiti did. We recently had a successful charity drive for Haiti and hope to do the same now for Chile. Even though they have better infrastructure their needs are pretty great.

If you have an iPhone or iPod Touch you can help by purchasing Family Matters on iTunes. All proceeds will be donated to a Chile fund this week through Americares.

Introducing Family Matters(tm)

We built this application for the iPhone and iPod Touch to help us parent more effectively. We were tired of family dinners where the conversation consisted of "How was your day?"... "fine".


What Family Matters(tm) gives you is a set of questions and activities designed to help you communicate more effectively with your children. We found it leads to more and deeper conversations with our kids and we think it could do the same for you.


Now available in the iTunes App Store!
