[New App] Fitocracy Makes Its Way To Android, Puts A Little RPG In Your Workout Routine

Posted by in Applications, News

Somewhere within the depths of the internet are entire subcultures of people who do things. Among those people are ones who like to work out – you know, it's their thing. Their schtick, even. Some of these guys actually happen to cross over into geekdom at one point or another. Crazy, I know. Somewhere along the lines, these fitness-nut/geek hybrids got together and created a game. And a social network. And a way to track fitness. Then they put them all together and called it Fitocracy.

Sound crazy? Well, that's for good reason – it kind of is. And now it's on Android.

Better Than Magic - Stick Your Phone To A Wall, Treadmill, Or... Ceiling With PU Pads From The Makers Of Capta

Posted by in News

UDS, the company that brought us Capta (which we loved) and now working on Vavo, has a limited quantity of pads made of what I called "magic alien goo" - a key ingredient used in its products. It's sort of a weird material made in part with polyurethane (PU), which is both sticky and not sticky at the same time - but in exactly the right ways.

I have been playing with a PU pad for the last month or so, and it's now become my trusty gym companion. Heck, I can bring it anywhere, slap it on pretty much any surface, and voila - an instant phone holder.
