A Sad Day For Manned Space Travel

This week was a bad one for manned space flight. An accident at Burt Rutan’s Space Ship Company killed 2 workers during an engine test, and injured 4 others. A Nasa contractor found evidence of sabatoge in a flight computer destined to be brought up to the International Space Station in August.

Space Wormy for iPhone

Here you go … the first action game for the iPhone. While there are a handful of board and puzzle games available, this is the first action game ever released for the iPhone!

** Update2 — Added high scores to Space Wormy! **

iPhone People Finder

I wrote a white pages application for the iPhone, and have it hosted on this site. If you’re viewing this from your iPhone, just click here, or point your browser to http://2robots.com/iphone.

For now, this app can find people’s names and addresses from their land line phone number. I’ll be enhancing it over the next few weeks (when I get back from vacation) with other ways of searching as well.

PS: The app doesn’t search your addressbook … it searches the White Pages on the Internet!
