Here’s a Live Wallpaper for your Android smartphone. It’s an animated video of the Bellagio water fountains in Las Vegas. The video runs in the background on your phone’s home screen.
The video used for the live wallpaper was taken by myself with my Canon DSLR. Then edited in Apple’s iMovie.

I have been buying a lot of apps from the AppStore and Google Play Market for my young son. Then I thought, “Hey, why don’t I make my own app?!”
In my spare time, I developed an app to teach my 2-year old son the names of his family members and favorite cartoon characters.
There are apps to teach your toddler animal names, colors, shapes, vehicles… but what about apps to teach your toddler the names of friends and loved ones? This app can teach your toddler the names of his/her family and friends in a fun and easy to play game.
Download the game from Google Play or Play the game online
This educational game was created using HTML5, CSS3, jQuery, Javascript and a plugin to stretch images.
It’s been awhile since I posted something I’ve done. I’ve been doing amazing things at Apple Inc, which has kept me busy. Awhile back, I did begin a project to help me learn all of HTML5 features. I decided to make a Jeremy Lin app that incorporates all of the new and cool HTML5 features. I also wanted this app/website to be responsive. This app should work and look nice on all devices – desktop, smartphone, tablet. Here is my excerpt from the Google Play store,
This is the Jeremy Lin Linsanity Video Game. You decide which play to make and watch your stats increase. Watch hundreds with highlight clips of Jeremy Lin’s NBA career. This app also includes Jeremy Lin’s twitter feed, real-time stats, youtube highlight clips, the Houston Rocket’s schedule, fan photos, news, biography, etc.

Everything you need for the delicious Vietnamese noodle soup, Phở, is in this app. Quickly get a list of all the Pho restaurants near you and plot them all on a map. Or enter in a city name to get all the Pho places in that city. Also included is a recipe to make your own Pho. View the photo gallery of all the Pho toppings you usually get in a restaurant – brisket, steak, fatty brisket, tai, chin, gau, pho ga, etc. Finally, an app my parents would use.
For Google Android users, download the app in the Google Play store here and install for free,

This app was developed using Sencha Touch 2.0. Sencha Touch 2.0 is a javascript framework using HTML5/javascript technologies. The data is taken from Yelp’s Webservice API. I added Google’s geolocation APIs to plot the restaurants on the map. The images for the Pho toppings were taken with my Canon t2i and photoshopped by me.
update: There are some pros and cons to using Sencha Touch over other mobile-specific frameworks like jQueryMobile. I’m currently working on another smartphone app using jQuery Mobile and will have it available soon.
Find the Differences game for smartphone devices
I’m ecstatic to announce my mobile app game works on both my Android and my iPad!!! It’s a somewhat educational “Find the Differences” game. Spot all the differences between the two photos before time runs out, in this case – before the crab bites the mermaid, and you’ll get a brief summary, fun facts and tourist information about the beach displayed. This is the “Beaches” edition with photographs of various beaches over the United States.
I developed my game using Flash with Actionscript code. Using the exact same code, I’m able to make the same app work on both Google Android devices and iOS devices. To do this, there were some changes required to the dimension of the app and images but the Actionscript code remains the same. I snapped all the beach photos myself with a Canon t2i camera and used photoshop to created the differences in the images.

*update: As of Jul 2013, there has been 70,000+ downloads of my game from the Android Market.
