I’ve been an iPhone devotee long before the first one was even released. When Steve Jobs did the iPhone keynote back in January 2007, like millions of others, I was sold. I ditched my last RAZR V3xx and Windows Mobile devices, and I sat patiently for June to arrive. And when it arrived, I loved [...]
My Interesting Adventure in Buying an iPad 2
When the iPad 2 came out, I found a buyer just in time for my first-generation iPad. Like many others on Launch Day, I spent a few hours on line at an Apple store. I was lucky enough to get the second-to-last one they had available: a black 16GB Wi-Fi model. That’s all I needed [...]
Even My Love for Apple Has Its Limitations
The last few weeks have been quite a ride outside of my realm of software development, so I apologize for not posting sooner. For those in the know, software development is a passion of mine, but, at this time, it’s only at the level of being a hobby to a side-business. It moderately provides supplemental [...]
From Getting Started to Getting the Most Out of Corona

Today is Tax Day for Americans, and many of us need to recap what has happened to us financially in the last year in order to fill out the necessary forms to send in to the government in order to find out if we owe more or are due a refund. For iOS and Android [...]
Bombarded with Custom Assignments
Rico: Mercenary for Hire has been out for about a month now, and it’s been a great ride so far in terms of popularity and sales, considering I’ve been revamping my website and did not do any “marketing blitz” for it. Users have been getting pretty far into the mission roster, but no one could [...]
Why I Switched from GameSalad to Corona
The following message was something I posted on the GameSalad forums a while back, but I felt it was important to repeat here. What is funny was that before I posted this, my Sous-Chef status simply disappeared without warning or notice, which only reaffirms my personal thoughts regarding their handling of issues.
