Announcing Pocket Kana for iPhone and iPod Touch

Monday, July 6th, 2009

Pocket Kana for iPhone and iPod Touch was approved yesterday by Apple and is now available in the App Store, both in French and English.

Pocket Kana is a simple application to learn the Japanese Characters. It was inspired by my son’s Tsumikis (Wooden Block) he has to learn his Japanese Characters. It’s using simple graphics associated with each character so it’s easy to associate one with another.

Also the word corresponding to that graphic is translated which might teach you basic vocabulary.

Announcing Twickr: Latest Flickr photos posted on Twitter

Sunday, July 5th, 2009

I was reading about the new support for Twitter in the Flickr API, and Flickr and general, and the author of the blog entry was mentioning he liked looking at the stream of tweets that were using Flickr to post.

I then looked at the feed, and quickly realized it would be better if I didn’t have to click on each link to actually look at the photos, thus decided to quickly put together something to do that for me.

I did not want any server side code, so everything is written in javascript.

This can all be found at http://poit.ch/twickr

Beware, there might be some photos that are not safe for work.
