Sketchbook Mobile App

Posted: November 25th, 2009 | Author: | Filed under: Blog | Tags: | Comments Off on Sketchbook Mobile App

I don’t actually have an iphone but I do use an Ipod Touch all the time (combined with my Verizon Mifi wireless internet, it’s a killer combo). And I don’t draw that much on the iphone but yesterday I saw a link to an app developed by Autodesk (maker of the PC software Autocad) called Sketchbook Express. It’s a great app with good pen control, a bunch of features (layers, zooming, touch sensitivity, etc) and of course you can export to an image file. There’s a full version for $3 that gives you 10 layers to work with and more….


NASA’s Chemical Sniffing Iphone app

What’s with all the good inventions lately? Either now is just a really productive time for good ideas or they are always happening and I don’t pay attention (most likely).

In any case this is another cool one and could be groundbreaking. NASA put together this prototype chemical sensor that can detect small amounts of chemicals like methane, ammonia, and chlorine gas. It uses a silicon chip that has 16 nanosensors and can transmit any data on detected chemicals through the iphone’s networking capabilities.

This innovation was developed in part by Jing Li, a NASA physical scientist, as part of the US Dept of Homeland Security’s Cell-All program. She has developed “nose” technology in several arenas, but this one might be the most wide-ranging.
