Here's my translation of an Indian music video. Click here to visit YouTube page.

It's nice having a brother who works for Apple ;)

UPDATE: The sample set is complete and is available in the public AppTapp repository for all you iPhone users. I have a dedicated page for this sound set here.

I'm working on a classic video game sound set for the awesome iPhone Customize application by SpicyChicken. This sample set will soon be available in the AppTap repository for all you iPhone users. These sounds can be used as ringtones, SMS message alerts, lock/unlock sounds, voicemail alerts, low power sounds and much more.

Hierarchical data structures can be very tricky but are necessary for threaded message boards and category/subcategory relationships. I spent countless hours learning how to implement them and really struggled through them when trying to create a message board. I really wish this tutorial existed at the time:

What do you get you when you combine:

Beach Boys + Dr. Dre + Sean Kingston + Chris Isaak + LL Cool J + Zion-I + Gift of Gab + Nirvana + Avalanche + Opio + Common + Lyrics Born + RL Burnside + Mamas & Papas + Chemical Bros. + Q-Tip + Black Eyed Peas + Creedence Clearwater Revival

Check out my crazy mix I've been working on for the last week or two:

I found this little animated gif on a site.

Thought it was kinda cool - and in the interest of beating a horse to death - I decided to write up my own version of it. Here's a video of what i came up with:

Download the source for this app here.

So there's a web site, www.combinationlock.com, which I'm quite addicted to. It's a little online game that presents the player with a multi-reel combination lock. Each reel contains a number from 0-9, and a single combination of all the reels will open the lock -- just like a standard combination lock.

A typical game will present the player with a three-reel lock and a set of clues:

• The largest and smallest digits have a difference of 6
• Reel B has the highest digit
• Reel B is triple the last reel
• The answer is divisible by 2

In every case, the clues provided are enough to come up with one - and only one - correct answer. In this case, the answer is 062.

Just because I know it can be done, and I know it would be fun, I've set out to create an app which can parse the rules and crack the code.

I submitted this story to Slashdot, but - just in case they don't accept it - I'll ask it here too:

I've banked at a couple different banks and haven't yet been able to find one that offers the features I need. I'd like to find a bank that supports open standards, such exporting my statement data to a XML file format. I'd also like to write scripts to monitor my account and send me emails when my balance reaches X, or if a transaction occurs within X miles from my zip code. Do any banks currently support this?
