If you have been reading this blog, you would be familiar with how much I have raved about my iPhone and its apps. In fact, I keep tabs and even share my latest app finds that have made my life easier and more entertaining. It has made getting an iPhone more than worth it!

I often wonder how iPhone App Development and iPhone Games Development go about into developing. For sure, it is not an easy job. That is why I admire the more than 200 engineers that make the dedicated team at Sourcebits.com. The programmers have the expertise you seek in the iPhone Software Development Kit (SDK), Cocoa Touch / Objective C, Xcode IDE, Interface Builder, OpenGL ES, Unity 3D Engine, Open AL, Instruments Testing, Memory Management, Audio Video Foundation Framework, Audio Queue Services Programming, Core Audio, Media Player Framework, Quartz, Core Animation, Core Graphics, Animation, CFNetwork Programming, BonjourWeb, XML Parsing, RPC XMLFramework, Threading, WebKit Programming, Secure Coding, Accelerometer, GPS, Stream Programming and Core Location Framework. Aside from the iPhone and iPad, they are also into Android App Development.

I seriously cannot wait to discover more iPhone apps that will sure make my life easier and more entertaining! I don’t want to start wanting an iPad too!

I have a dog, and I spend on him like I spend on my kids.

This is coming from someone who is not really a dog lover.

But I love my kids and when they say they would love and be so happy, I oblige. So we are now proud parents to a new baby that is black and white, half Shitzhu and half Pekinese. His name is Scamp, from the second installation of the Lady and the Tramp (a Disney movie). He is really cute, if I say so myself, very tiny but is loud as you can imagine.

As of this writing, we have spent a cage for him, complete with two dog plates and a water bottle sipper. He has his own collar and even has his own set of “toiletries” which consist of: shampoo, conditioner (Imagine!), powder, comb and breath freshener that comes in the form of chewebles. Dog toys are another story too, as my kids love to shop for the little pup. When asked for help in pet stores, we were advised that toys for small dogs are hugely different from Toys for cats. Dog toys need to be chewable as dog teeth sometimes need to be grinded as well to make them not so sharp. Large dog beds also have caught our eye as we want him to have a bed of his own and not sit on the couch when he is inside the house. However, understand that dog toys are not a substitute for you, use dog toys to engage in games with your dog and most importantly have fun along the way!
