Bush Bobblehead

One of Awkwards’ apps was just approved today. After a few rejections for content (I guess there are some Republicans working for Apple-guess they weren’t to keen on the awesome bobble and hilarious sounds), I decided to call a contact and see if he could check into it. I woke up this morning in my usual haze, only having gone to sleep a few hours prior and decided to open up the mail app on my iPhone. Upon doing so I was greeted with the approval email and that brings us back to the main subject of this post. Below is a repost of the page from the Awkward Studios website.

Just when you thought the man behind phrases like Mer’ca and stratiegery was gone, we have turned him into an app. If you want to check it out on the app store, simply click the following link Bush Bobblehead or search for “Bush Bobblehead” in the app store. Below is the description from the app store.

The Bush Bobblehead is the pinnacle of comedic relief. With well over 100 different phrases that are uttered in a random order, it’ll be a flash back to his presidency when Freudian scholars were often kept on their toes.

Awesome sounds need to be paired with an awesome graphic. You can drag, pull and even flick the bobblehead – it is that accurate and sensitive. The only way you could get a more realistic bobble is if you mounted it on the dash board of your car.

Download this app today and support the lasting legacy that is the Bush communication style.

The Bush Soundboard

The bush soundboard has been in development for far to long and I am pleased to announce that it has been submitted (with help from my alter ego). If all goes according to plan, the nod should be given in a few days. I’m also packaging the Awkward button sounds into a similar soundboard, but that is another post altogether. Below is the app store description for a slight preview of the mayhem|chaos. Enjoy!

-The plight of a president is often remembered by what he has done and not by what he has said. Few presidents throughout history have been remembered for both what they have said and what they have done.

America has been blessed by the recent presence of one such president; President George Bush. Loved by all except the French; President Bush has left us with a vast cornucopia of memorable zingers and Freudian slips.
Enjoy your time with the Bush soundboard. 

Download your Bush Soundboard app today and let the comedic presence of President George Bush ensue!

Tales from the app store – Apps

I was having a conversation with my best friend and we came to the realization that there are only a few different types of apps. We were talking about apps that just contain information about someone from their personal blog; a business card app of sorts. This seems like an excellent idea considering that the iPhone and iPod Touch have an installed base of 70 million devices and with the advent and release of the upcoming iPad, that user base will surely grow as it will support apps right out the gate.

The other thing we noticed is that there are only a few different types of apps on the appstore. A lot of people will debate this, but when you go to the release list and look at what is being released, you’ll see mainly ‘smut apps’; apps that feature scantily clad women. Or you’ll see apps from a developer that is clearly just renaming their app and releasing it again; the buckshot approach. My app will be out there, but it will thirty clones with very similar names. The fireworks app is a prime example, AAA fireworks or A-1 fireworks. The studio/person that released this collection of apps should have their developer license revoked.

It would be good if the smut apps could get their own category so that the other categories could be free of the filth. It detracts from the rest of the apps that actually deserve to be there. Another feature that would be neat to have is that of a developer rank; people can rank the entire suite of apps that are produced/released from a given developer. This would allow people to clearly see that what the developer has done and what their quality is.
