iEatCheap & Squarespace Hosted Relaunch

With the launching of the Squarespace site, I'm going to be combining a few things that I do separately. I've been microblogging & blogging a lot more and not finding time to record podcasts with friends. So I've brought the content from my blog and made a new category, iEatCheap. 

I'm a foodie, but I'm a cheap foodie. iEatCheap will be me logging information about, the cost of, and of course pictures of my food. Pictures are the hard part. It's hard keeping your hands off of the nommy goodness.

Other categories (GAMEiVORE, WhatAppIsThat, DPandB, iUnload & TheSportsDork) will continue to have content either in blog, audio or video format. It's my goal to have 1 blog posting per day currently. This could step up or down but 1 per day is currently the plan to get things moving.

Any suggestions please leave them in the comments.

After watching this video I bought this game...

I saw the screenshots on the App Store and was wondering if it was just something that was going to be a pretty game with garbage for gameplay. After seeing some snippets of the gameplay in the trailer, I was completely sold on this game. So, I'm currently downloading Infinity Blade and will have some better opinions on this tomorrow because it's a huge 318MB download over WiFi for $5.99.

As I finished my workday my battery was at 85% on my iPhone 4. I played Infinity Blade until the battery hit 20% and then forced myself to leave the break room and go home. It's a hog on battery consumption, but its such a nice looking game.

The gameplay is slick just like you would expect from watching the previously mentioned. Even though this was the most expensive App Store application that I've purchased, it is well worth it. If you enjoy gaming but your iPhone leaves you wanting something slightly more than Plants VS Zombies and Angry Birds, go buy Infinity Blade. It's worth it in every way.

ESPN Fantasy Baseball App for iPhone $4.99

Downloading App now and will have additional images and impression available here soon. $4.99 seems slightly high but we will see if it's worth it. More to come.

If you have a specific questions regarding the app before you buy it email me at FBBiphoneapp@live.com

First Impressions:

Looks great.
Load times are ok on 3G. Not near as fast as they should be for a $5 app, but faster than the mobile website.
Seems to have all the abilities that you would want from a PC browser UI built into the app in a user friendly layout.
Slidebars with information and stats are a must and great to have. No way you should try and squeeze all those stats on a small screen.

Update 1:
Screen 1 - My Team 1 - Right half of the screen is slideable to show all stats of players
Screen 2 - Players tab
Screen 3 - My Team 2 - Right half of the screen is slideable to show all stats of players
Screen 4 - League Scoreboard
Screen 5 - Overall Scoreboard / League Standings
Screen 6 - Activity Feed. Displays any updates from players on your team.

Update 2: More screenshots
Screen 7 - Schedule for previous/upcoming weeks of your opponents
Screen 8 - League Settings and Scoring for league
Screen 9 - Selector of how your team information. so you can see specific information about players to compare
Screen 10 - Message Board

Update 3: Added direct link to app store for direct download.

Update 4: Added the descriptions from Flickr to the post.
