Wed update: iPhone apps, duck pics, MPACT annual membership meeting tonight

I discovered a couple of good iPhone apps and wanted to pass along the info.

First of all Nlog Free Synth is a really sophisticated free synthesizer for the iPhone. There are dozens of options to customize the sound to get it exactly the way you want it. Hard to believe this app is free. I bet we’re soon going to see bands whose instruments are all iPhones.

Secondly, I have a game recommendation. Drunk Sniper. I’m not going to say any more about it. Just trust me, you need this game. Guys will have a built-in advantage over girls playing this game, although a female told me about it. There’s a free version that is 2 levels only, and that is good enough. You will bust out laughing when you see this and then show it to all your friends.

In other news – the trivia team only managed a third place finish last night, adding $10 to our winnings. Mikey the Other Trivia Guy made the questions, including this one: “What illustrated magazine, founded in 1954, didn’t do well at first, covering events like yacht races?” What is this, giving away half the answer (Sports Illustrated) within the question? Is he trying to dumb down trivia to Cordova Saucer levels? Then again, he asked another question that stumped everybody – which car was the first to have air conditioning (1939 Packard). We only got half the final question right because our server Graycen knew the answer but wouldn’t tell us. Hmmph.

The Peabody Ducks visited New York City to catch the premiere of Memphis the musical. Photos here.

Putting together my Halloween costume this week… I’m thinking I probably won’t wear it to Paula & Raiford’s Halloween party tomorrow night, though, because I don’t want to unveil it that early. I guess I’ll go with some variation of my Disco Paul persona tomorrow, even though I don’t really consider that a costume.

Tonight: MPACT Memphis general membership meeting at 6 PM, at their office at 506 S. Main. My membership lapsed a few days ago, so I guess I better bring my checkbook. Wonder if Susie will bug me to fill out a million billion quadrillion octillion surveys. Hmmm maybe I should switch days and wear the Disco Paul outfit to MPACT and dress as a “young professional” for Paula & Raiford’s tomorrow. “Young professional” is more of a costume for me than “Disco Paul” is. Also, there will be free food at the MPACT meeting, wonder if the Nuh-Uh Girl will show up?
