I Am Still Rich: 'I Am Rich' for Poor iPhone Owners
IAmStillRich.com: View it on your iPhone
About: View announcement
To install the icon on your iPhone home screen, simply follow these instructions:
1. Open Safari and visit IAmStillRich.com
2. Tap the + button on the Safari task bar on the bottom of the screen
3. Tap "Add to Home Screen" from the pop-up list
4. Click "Add", and the icon will show up on your iPhone's home screen
5. Tell everyone you know that you spent $1000 on the I Am Rich app
Six iPhone owners can definitively prove that they are very rich, and very stupid. These spendthrift six purchased I Am Rich, an iPhone application costing $1000 from Apple's App Store. This app only displays an image of a shiny red gem, and comes with a matching shiny red icon entitled "I Am Rich". Apple removed this app from the AppStore after two users complained & wanted their money back, leaving only six users with proof of their richness.
This seemed like a shame to me, so I created an alternative for poor iPhone owners who love luxury: IAmStillRich.com. I Am Still Rich is a web application for the iPhone - just open Safari and type IAmStillRich.com as the URL, and you will see your very own shiny gem. IAmStillRich.com is completely free, enabling you to continue being rich after you see the shiny gem. And this shiny gem is even better than the original because it's green, and everyone knows green is the color of all things rich. Best of all, I Am Still Rich comes with an icon for your iPhone's home screen, so you can fool your friends into thinking you are one of the six idiots who spent $1000 on a useless iPhone application.

Every Java developer loves Javadoc. Every software developer loves the iPhone. iDoc brings these two worlds together and generates iPhone-friendly Javadoc for your source code. Now you can browse API documentation when you want it, where you want it - all in the palm of your hand.
The iDoc demo shows iPhone-specific Javadoc for the Java 7 APIs. It was generated using the OpenJDK source code. (Unfortunately, earlier versions cannot be posted due to licensing restrictions.) If you'd like to generate iPhone Javadoc for your own code base, download the latest version of the iDoc source code from the link above. Right now the iDoc generator is very simple: it doesn't resolve links within comments or display full signatures for Java 5 generics.

GWTFlow is a mashup photo viewer I wrote using Google Web Toolkit (GWT). GWTFlow uses CoverFlow-like effects for navigating through photos. Currently you can view photos from Flickr, but it's designed to support other image services like Picasa Web Albums.
GWTFlow uses standard GWT widgets for positioning the images and callouts to Script.aculo.us for the effects. All of the photos are just Image objects placed on an AbsolutePanel, with a little math behind the scenes to determine positioning & simulate perspective. Albums & images are retrieved via RPC calls to a Java service, which then calls out to Flickr's public API using flickrj.
