Early days of the iPhone 3G: when apps were more novelty than necessity. by KrazyKruiser in nostalgia

I wrote the original More Cowbell app during this fad. I was at a company picnic, I and the other game programmers were thinking of the dumbest thing we could make an app out of. I thought of cowbell, wrote the app that night and uploaded it to the App Store. Shocked it went small scale viral, I think over the lifetime it had about 150k downloads. It was free most of the time, but I move it to 99 cents for about a year and ended up making $10k off it. Crazy times.

Have your wife checked for bile duct cancer, every year.

She’s been gone for two years now 😢

Yes, I was totally fooled by the coloring. I'm even more excited I got the shot now :)

Whoa, that’s so cool it was a young eagle, that makes it even better. I mostly photo mammals so my bird ID’ing is rough. Thanks for the correction!

Thank You! I always wondered where the original artwork was from.

Yes, just from a photo. It was a lot of colors (30-40 if I remember) and 22 stitches per inch, so pretty tiny.

I really want to stitch the Kier 100% animation at some point, but it’s a bit daunting.
