There comes a day in some monster’s lives, when people do not leave cookies lying around. What’s a monster to do? For Cookie Monster, the answer is easy. As long as he can restrain himself from eating his iPhone, he can load his favorite app and bake some cookies himself! Once he loads Real Recipes,…
It’s not just superheroes that use iPhone apps. One villain that consistently hits obstacles to his plans for world domination is Cobra Commander. No matter what he plans, he is always out-strategized and out-thought by the G.I. Joes. Desperate to improve his skills for machination, Cobra Commander needed a way to test different strategies against…

It can start to feel mechanical when you’re designing the same features over and over again for websites or apps. The standard tableview of article titles, an article detail view, add comments form (with requisite login/register/forgot password), share to facebook, share to twitter…it seems like we’re adding the same features over and over to every…
