SpaceManager - Fantastic Library for Cocos2D and Chipmunk Integration for the iPhone

I've been struggling for some time writing my first Cocos2D game for the iPhone using Chipmunk Physics. The problem is the constant back and forth between Objective C and C. Now someone has solved this problem for me by releasing SpaceManager. Here's a link to the official site....it's a great piece of work. Many thanks to the coders who wrote this.... http://code.google.com/p/chipmunk-spacemanager/

Slacker Radio for the iPhone is better than Sirius

I stopped my Sirius satellite radio service and have signed up for the full version of Slacker Radio. It's MUCH cheaper ($4 versus $12), and the audio quality is BETTER, and the fact that I have unlimited skips means I'm not stuck to the playlist on the 5 or 6 sirius music stations that reflect my eclectic taste in music. Now if only I could control Slacker via a remote on my steering wheel....it would be perfect.

Amy's Organic Frozen Meals are Fantastic

In my quest to be healthier, I've stumbled about Amy's Organic Frozen Meals. They are magnificent. Usually eating healthly has meant I have to give up flavor, but so far, the meals I've tried are fantastic. I actually prefer them over any other frozen meal. The cheese enchiladas are so good my whole family fights over who get the last one out of the fridge. I also have enjoyed the Country Cheddar Bowl, the Tamala Verde Meal, and the Tortilla Casserole. Healthy food that tastes great. It's about time.

Great Place for Car Repair Found in South Jersey

My lovely wife Denise has once again found a great local merchant providing great service to us. In this case it's Integrity Automotive on the Black Horse Pike. They helped us bring down the cost for repairs, found us a hidden rebate from the manufacturer even after it looked like the current one had expired, and were fast, friendly and courteous. If you need some car work done. I highly recommend them. http://www.integrityautomotivenj.com
