Nathaniel's Tumblr
Hello. I'm Nathaniel Daught, (28) a graphic designer, artist, Mac geek, and gamer. These are my ramblings, photos, links, and art because I sometimes have too much time on my hands... One would assume that you also have too much time on your hands because you are reading this blog. Enjoy.

“Paper” for iPad - Art apps continue to be the only reason I’d ever want an iPad… My iPhone does everything else fine, and I already do art on it.
This is a pretty damn cool-looking app. If I had an iPad and still drew, I’d grab it in a flash. (via Paper for the iPad)

I’m no musician, but Bebot for iOS looks like lots of fun. Much more my speed than the KORG synth for DS I posted about a few years ago… Only thing it really lacks is in-app recording and some kind of drum machine.
I think I saw a Bebot video right before it first came-out but forgot about it since.

Updated: Fix for iTunes AppStore Update Errors (page is outdated & error 5002)
I’ve discovered the iTunes iOS App update error (The information on this page is outdated.) can be caused by never quitting iTunes.
The new fix: Try quitting iTunes every once in a while. I’ve found I still get this error if I leave iTunes open and sleep my MacBook Pro overnight. Simply relaunching iTunes when you first wake your Mac might fix this error.

Netflix iPhone streaming app now available! (iTunes link)
Only lame thing is that after taking so long to release they haven’t even updated the UI to support iPhone 4 resolution buttons etc (screenshot 1, screenshot 2, screenshot 3) The video quality is great though.

Free HTML5 painting app by deviantART: Muro
This is crazy cool looking! It’s a free online app you use in your browser. It even works on iPad, and to an extent on iPhone (can’t zoom). You can also purchase access to more advanced brushes and tools, but all the important basics are free.
It supports layers, opacity, filters, and even WACOM tablets. Beta testers have already done some impressive work with it and I’m sure there’ll be a huge rush of new paintings now that it’s public.
I’ll have to play around with it and see if I can do anything cool. The only downside I see is that the canvas is limited to 900px × 446px.

HoloToy 3D app for iPhone and iPad.
Using the tilt sensors this app created the illusion that your iPhone or iPad is a window into a box that you can view from different angles. It looks like it’s got a few little games too. It’s quite cool looking. ($0.99 US iTunes Link)

"Here, File File"
This iPhone app allows you to browse and view your Mac’s files from your iPhone via a server application on your Mac. What makes this app note worthy is that it can stream iPhone compatible movies and audio files from your Mac and it has a slick interface to boot.
The introductory price is $6.99 (30% off) until Feb 14 2010.
I haven’t purchased this app yet, but I’ve been wanting an app just like it since the AppStore launched. I’ve been using the free Mac OS X app “telekinesis” to allow for most of the same features inside Mobile Safari, but it’s far less slick and hasn’t been updated in a long time.

Finally a Gmail Push notification iPhone app!
It’s been pulled from the AppStore temporarily though while a server issue is resolved. I’ll be checking this app out as soon as it’s back in the store. [via theiphoneblog.com]
