Creature24: An iPhone Game in 24 Hours, Plus Software Giveaway

From the website:

“An iPhone/iPod touch game made by 3 guys in just 24 hours.

Yes, you read that right! 3 guys… 24 hours.

Starting with just a skeleton idea; the three of us will implement a complete game from nothing, to full submission to the AppStore within 24 hours.

The fun begins on Saturday, March 6th at 9:00am EST.

Watch it all unfold LIVE right before your eyes by following our Blog during the event. Each of us will be posting updates on our progress throughout the day. You’ll be able to view sketches, graphics and screenshots as and when they’re made, listen to sound effects and music as they’re created, and comment on any post that we make on the site.”

Seems like after the OneWeekApp event the goal is to create apps in the shortest timeframe. They’re also giving away some apps, starting with Pixelmator. I’ll check it out anyway.

Fast Link Sharing Between Mac and iPhone with AirLink

I often find myself wanting to open a page I’m reading on my Mac on the iPhone, sitting just next to my MacBook. Normally, that would mean I have to manually type the URL on MobileSafari, or using a clipboard sharing app like Pastebot.

AirLink makes things way too simple. Sharing links between your desktop browser and the iPhone is now just a click away, seriously. All you have to do is head over AirLink install page and drag a bookmarklet onto your browser’s bookmarks bar and create a new bookmark on your iPhone with the unique link you’ll be provided. Done.

Now, everytime you’d like to send a page to the iPhone from your computer just click the bookmarklet, open the bookmark on MobileSafari and boom, you’ll be redirected to that page. It takes 2 seconds.

The Quotes of the Day widget is something I look forward to checking out each day, so Quote Portal is right up my ally.
