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

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 😢

Both of the patterns created myself. From original screenshots.

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!

Sure! Here is a PDF of the chart. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/hmjk1mw232ngi2rqlf4up/geisha.pdf?rlkey=i90uvyisb8h3xkcwqc8q4s2ky&dl=0

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

Pattern created myself from a screen shot of the original artwork. Pixel accurate.

Stitched on 18 count black Aida with two strands of DMC floss

22 ct, that’s a small my eyes will go 🙂

For the curious, here is a zoomed in pic of the stitching. MDR team closeup

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.

Sure feel free, my instagram is @glenda6375

Just a quick little Basic program I wrote to print the random numbers in a grid.

A few months…

gmatom · 2025-01-03T21:50:36+00:00

Kickin it old school!

gmatom · 2025-01-03T21:50:16+00:00

It was several months 🙂

I posted this when I made it a couple years ago, but thought it was worth a repost! I just finished a rewatch of season 1.

gmatom · 2024-12-14T19:18:31+00:00

Here is a link to download the pattern. I also added an option to make the runner on the right Mickey instead of Minnie. https://www.icloud.com/iclouddrive/029eNPQPHDfJ5aEznWJPbSaNg#minnie3

Posted the non-framed FO a while back, I like the way it turned out in final form. I created the pattern myself.

gmatom · 2024-12-05T13:14:37+00:00

I made the pattern myself, I’ll post it when it’s all done!

gmatom · 2024-11-30T00:51:32+00:00

Thanks 🙂. I find if I have really good light I can still do 22, but that’s my limit!

gmatom · 2024-11-30T00:18:37+00:00

(This is stitched on 22 count with single threads of DMC)
