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 main story is hosted by wired and can be found here. I am glad that gizmodo is getting a lot of heat and the guy that “found” the 4g in the first place will be enjoying his dance with the legal system. Balking at Steve Jobs?! Come on gizmodo, that just discredits you even more. I’m not bitter because those no talent ass clowns (office space joke) nit picked my macbook mod when it went semi viral but you don’t mess with a company that is as secretive as the NSA or someone who can finagle themselves onto the top of an organ donor list (unprovable of course).

Hopefully a precedent gets set so other small companies get dissuaded from attempting shenanigans like this in the future. I enjoyed seeing the info, but I think I would rather have waited for the official Apple event. I bet Apple will mention something about this and pun off of it.

Sorry my little Sony Ericcson V600i. You have been an awesome phone for 4 and a half years but I think it is nearly time to decommission you.

The Awkward Button Lite is now ranked 37th in Canada. It happened last Sunday. I opened MyAppSales (its an app by a fellow developer to-you guessed it-chart sales/downloads) and was saw a huge spike. Fearing something ‘funny’ had happened, I logged onto itunes connect and grabbed the daily report, opened it up and bam. There it was. A few hundred people downloaded the free button; I hit a rank of 40. I monitored it for a few days and then started up the chatter with my friends. I found no blog posts or anything toting the Awkward Button Lite as an awkwardness fighting tool, so I have no idea how it all started.

I can only make an educated guess as why it is doing so well. Awkwardness. People need help fighting awkwardness. And what better way than with an app.  They download the free version and are temporarily protected. If only they would buy the paid version and become completely protected from awkwardness. Awkwardness would be eradicated from Canada and the Mounties would have one less thing to worry about.
