SXSW has begun! If you need a little help figuring out which parties to go to, you can download our app here.
I’m going to be checking out some of the mobile events, and of course I’ll be at the Tumblr events. I hope to see you at one of them!
Thanks to everybody who has already downloaded our new app! We’re delighted to see that we can expect so many international visitors! Welcome to Austin!
SXSW is just around the corner, so if you haven’t downloaded it yet you can find it here.
As some of you might know, my husband and I live in Austin. One of the great things about living in Austin is that you can take advantage of all the fun stuff that surrounds SXSW every spring. Last year we designed a mobile site to help us get around all the free parties and unofficial events that were going on and it was so helpful we thought that this year we’d share it with everybody as a full-blown mobile app. We’re really proud to announce that Thinx Drinks is now available in the iTunes App Store and its totally free!
Some of the app features:
- Nearby feature shows all the parties and events near your current location, plotted on a map for easy navigation.
- Browse events by date or use the searchable database to find events by name, band, or venue.
- The My Parties feature lets you mark your favorites for quick reference later.
- RSVP from many events from within the app.
- Other features include social media and iOS Calendar integration. The app syncs to information stored the cloud to give you up-to-date listings.
I hope you find it as helpful as we do and hopefully I’ll see some of you around town!
For their app Earth As Art, NASA has taken an unusual foray into the realm of “art for art sake”. Although in this case it would probably be more accurately described as satellite imagery for art sake.
The app is primarily a collection of the most visually striking images returned by the Landsat 7 satellite with information about each image available with just a tap. Though these same images can also be found in galleries of the same name on the U.S. Geological Survey site, I highly recommend downloading this free app for its intuitive design and coffee-table book experience.
If you found an iPad under the tree or an iTunes gift card in your stocking, make the most of it by getting over 850 images just as beautiful as these in our Cassini HD app for iPad. Or Angry Birds. That’s fun too.
Some new moons for Monday. There are more stunning images of Titan (and other moons) in the new update for our Cassini HD app for iPad which is available now. We’ve even added a whole new moon: the egg-shaped Methone recently captured by the probe for the first time.
These are just a few of the new images we’ve added to our app Cassini HD for iPad in our new update available today.
Sol Explorer for iPhone and iPad by Reason Interactive is a super cool app that lets you zip around the solar system in your own spaceship and learn about the planets and their moons in a fun and interactive way. It’s got impressive graphics and a neat video demonstrating the scale of the planets. It’s exactly the kind of interactive eye candy that makes apps so much fun.
Brian of Reason Interactive happens to be a friend of mine and sometimes friendship comes with perks. In this case, he’s offering it for half price ($0.99) for today (Sunday, Oct. 21) only.
NASA launched the Cassini orbiter on October 15, 1997, to explore Saturn, its rings, and system of moons. Fifteen years later, it’s still thrilling the world with wonderfully impossible images from a billion miles away. Thinx is honoring this anniversary by offering its Cassini HD iPad app for half price, just $0.99. Featuring more than 840 stunning images, Cassini HD is the perfect way to see the greatest highlights of this amazing mission.
Cassini HD - Explore Saturn Via iPad
Our very own science/art Tumblrer staceythinx has been hard at work designing the Cassini HD iPad app, available Sept. 15 in the iTunes store (that’s tomorrow!). It will be free for the first day, by the way (I’ll add the link when it goes live).
I’ve had a chance to play with the app, and it’s really something special. NASA’s Cassini mission has provided us with what I think is the greatest catalogue of planetary images from our solar system. Saturn is such a visually striking celestial body, and exploring its moons and rings via photography gives us the ability to take a digital rocket tour with just a single click.
The Cassini HD app delivers more than just pretty pictures, of course. Tap an image to find out the science behind each photo, and any of them can be shared on Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook, etc. right in the app. The philosophy behind this project, and Stacey’s Tumblr, is making knowledge beautiful. Mission accomplished!
I give it a rating of 10 rings out of 10. Go get it tomorrow!
I’m absolutely delighted that jtotheizzoe of It’s Okay To Be Smart likes our app! I really hope you will too. You can try it for free today and please let us know what you think!
Today is the day: Cassini HD, our first app for iPad, is finally available in the App Store! Be sure and get it today at the special price of FREE (regularly $1.99). Most important of all, be sure and leave feedback on iTunes — we want to hear what you think. Happy discovering!
