Seeking to Understand

I’m getting a surprising number of emails about Pumpkin that say something to the effect of “what does this do?” I think it should be pretty apparent - it doesn’t do much of anything. Some of the iApp-a-Day apps are going to be like that - it’s the nature of the project. Trying to do an app every single day means that some are going to be super-simple to make time for the less-simple ones - and Pumpkin is pretty close to the simplest one I’ve got on my list of ideas. (At least right now… we’ll see how desperate I get as the month goes on…)

In the coming month, I hope to deliver a variety of different apps that try to use several of the the fundamental features that the iPhone platform has to offer - along with some that are just plain silly or fun. Some will no-doubt be duds - but I’m hoping that out of 31 apps (counting Pumpkin), that perhaps one or two will strike a chord with you in some way and bring a little joy or spark of inspiration into your life. In a way, I’m beginning to think of iApp-a-Day as an artistic expression in the sense that I’m treating the iPhone as a canvas and the code as paint. I hope you’ll enjoy the journey - and I hope I survive it!
