Posted by Marne Cales | Nov 18, 2009 | Comments 0

I’ve been having a love/hate relationship with the Little Runner in Red Rocket Games new release of the same name.

I’m such an enabler.

Fore! Review for iPhone and iPod Touch

Posted by Marne Cales | Nov 13, 2009 | Comments 0

I tried to golf once. It was probably pretty funny to watch me swing and repeatedly miss that stupid little ball. At that moment I decided to stick with mini golf. The courses are a lot smaller, and you only have to carry around the one club, plus the greens fees are a lot lower. So I had my doubts about Fore!

I have a thing for miniatures-doll houses, model trains, anything tiny, so tiltshift photography appealed to me the moment I learned about it. This technique takes a normal, everyday scene, and makes it seem as if you are peering down on a miniature world. Real tiltshift photography requires expensive equipment, but I managed to make due with a few Photoshop tricks. When I saw Tiltshift Generator in the app store, I was intrigued, but not sure I wanted to pay for a photo app that only did one thing.
