Is Fart App The Movie going too far?
So they want to make a movie out of hit iPhone app game Angry Birds. You know what,I think this is just a great idea, I mean why not, in an age when movies like Cats vs. Dog and Piranha 3D can put butts in seats, I don’t see why we can’t make a full length feature film about birds fighting pigs. And after all, we know how well previous thinly-plotted video game movies have done. I mean...

Diacarta helps me visualize how fashionably late I...
I have to say, when it’s all laid out on a clock face in (Diacarta), Austin Fashion Week looks even more awesome. Let me help translate what some of these icons mean for you:
Party with a 8 to 1 ratio of photographers to attendees. Every person with a Flip thinks they’re media.
Party with nice bottles of wine secretly being filled with box wine once the guests are too drunk to...

A personal study on who gets laid more: iPhone or...
This week my pickup site of choice released a groundbreaking study that rocked the interwebs revealing conclusively that iPhone users get more tail than other phone users. Well (OkCupid) it would have saved you a lot of time to just come and ask me. However, many sites are decrying this study and pushing Android and Blackberry users to stand up and proclaim their playerdom. In the name of...

What story does our LBSN tell?
Information is great, but as I’ve said before, it’s what we do with that information that matters. Simply harnessing it without any use is a fruitless practice. This is one reason I’m in love with newly released app, (Blacktop.) This app puts Foursquare checkins into a sequential order that tells a story. It’s not a complex app, and it doesn’t perfectly suit me, for...

The Lady is Pissed: Anti-Choice Appaganda
Lady AppApp is not a political site, but it is a site that represents the values of freedom and education (values that our muse Lady Gaga has also advocated.) That’s why when we see apps in the app store that challenge those values…well, we get a little pissy. So Daddy Steve, we humbly submit this request:
Dear Steve,
I’m not a modest women when it comes to apps, as a quick...

Ironically, you can't check in at the Foursquare...
Fresh off of my post about badges, Foursquare is selling its own “sash with sleeves” to show off all your fancy pants badges. The limited edition shirt is part of the company’s new store which also features stickers and pins. Apparently they are also planning to offer special items available only to those who have achieved particular badges.
It’s a good thing Foursquare...

QR Qrazy
So I like QR codes, and I know they are silly and imperfect and maybe they won’t ever catch on in the West like they have in the East, but dammit I want them to work. If by sheer will power alone, I will make them work. So it is with this mission that I offer up my August 2010 Nerd Nite Austin presentation on the history, development and culture of QR codes and general code...

It's like I-P-A-D I'm livin' my life, now I'm...
So, as a single lady (you may have heard me mention that) I’m pretty inclined to songs about going out and being single, so Jason Derulo’s (like Usher minus the baby mama drama and Chris Brown minus the domestic abuse) single Solo has basically been bopping on my iTunes like a soundtrack. I finally got to watching the music video and was pleasantly surprised to spot one of my good...

So I got dumped today. Yeah, I know, I’m thinking the same thing you are. Who the fuck dumps a hot chick like Lady AppApp, right? A BLACKBERRY user, that’s who. A PC user. It was over before it started, talk about a bad romance. But thankfully this weekend I also got an iPhone 4, which kind of put it all into perspective. Frankly it’s hard to be too depressed about a man...

Is a dose of OATS the cure to shady app reviews?
The internet may have brought a new shadiness to it, but the idea of “sponsored journalism”, advertorial and paid reviews is as old as print itself. However, in the app space this type of reviewing seems particularly rampant and really does nothing but make it difficult for both the app consumer to find apps and the app producer to promote their apps. The app store may have been out...

An app list for the ethical slut
Between worrying if my cocktail dress is clean and why he hasn’t called since our date, life as a single woman can be full of disappointment, drinks and douche bags. I don’t know how I’d do it without my best friend. No not her, I mean my iPhone. iPhone always knows where the happy hours are, what I wore last Saturday and where to find...
