It is finally time. http://www.iapp100.com/ has been officially launched!
Matt Patterson and I have been working on this project for some time now. He already had the iPhone, and I just had an iTouch not wanting to go to AT&T – but already both of us had thought we need to make finding Apps for these devices easier. Although we are always wanting to make it better and have it do more – we felt it was time to let the cat out of the bag.
The idea is pretty simple. We wanted a place to be able to review an App, easily search for Apps by rank or category and also find out what Apps that just came out or had dropped in price. One frustration was that Apps from the Apple iTunes App Store is that Apps can go on sale for a week – but you would never know it unless you just happen to look at that App. We wanted to make it easy to see what was on sale – so you could capture the deal!
We have a lot of really exciting plans for this site – and we will keep you up to date on the progress. You can keep track by visiting the homepage of iApp100 or follow us on Twitter @iapp100. Please give us feedback for the site – we just want to make it as useful as possible.

I could not believe that it has only been 1 year since the grand opening of the Apple iTunes AppStore. I guess it’s just been in the media and growing so fast it seems like it has been around much longer. 50,000+ apps are already available in the store. That is some major growth! Be looking forward to later this week for an annocement of a project I and some friends have been working on. I am quite excited about it!

Happy 4th of July everyone! What a great country we have!
As most all July 4ths, I spend it at the Okoboji lake with my extended family. It is a great time to see everyone and have some relaxing fun. On the night of the 4th, near Arnolds Park they light a great fireworks display right on the lake. Many boats drive over then drop anchor and tune their radios to the sponsoring station and wait for the count down of the show. Not only it is a great fireworks display, but the fireworks are perfectly timed with the music echoing over the lake with the occational boat honk for the favorites. The show included songs such as: Lee Greenwood (God Bless the USA), Neil Diamond (Coming to America), Louis Armstrong (Its a wonderful world), Ray Charles (America) and Elvis Presley (Glory, Glory Halleluliah), among others.
If you haven’t been to Okoboji – you need to make it out there at least once to experience the great show with your family or great friends. It makes my summer!
