Happy New Year, everyone!  One of my resolutions for 2012 is to actively start blogging, and sharing some of the insights I’ve picked up after 3+ years of mobile development, and 28 (gasp!) years of software development, from not only development considerations, to larger business, marketing, and strategy considerations as well.  This is the first such post.  Please feel free to let me know if there’s something you’d like me

We are extremely close to releasing our first interactive children’s book for iPad, iPhone/iPod and Android devices.  This represents a first step into a niche market that I feel is going to be very important to Glowdot in the coming months and, hopefully, years.

We all know about the passing of Steve Jobs this week.  I think its safe to say the world doesn’t need another blog post about his death, what it means to the modern world, modern software, and the tech industry.  To be sure, Jobs built Apple into a powerhouse in the last few years (and the last years of his life), and without his work, and Apple the company, Glowdot

This week we are at the Unite11 Unity Conference in San Francisco, California. While Rick is here to learn some new Unity skills, both Rick and Michael are here to meet other Unity developers and potential clients, so if you happen to be in San Francisco this week, send us an email and we’d be more than happy to come meet and chat with you! This is also a perfect

In collaboration with OpenFeint, and in support of Japan relief efforts, Rogue Runner for iPhone and iPod Touch is FREE for the next two days. How does this benefit Japan relief?
