Welcome to the new generation, where apps no longer have square ugly interfaces. These apps have beautiful and amazing effects. They are no longer confided to the square. As we see from disco, the powerful yet beautiful burning app, by madebysofa.com/, these effects, such as the smoke, no longer limit the functionality of an app. Some of these amazing apps include John Casasanta’s iClip, or Sophia Teutschler’s CoverSutra, Ollie Wagner’s Menuet, or Austin Sarner’s Disco.
And thus, ILikeOlives was born. Austin, John, Sophia and Ollie teaming up to make the ultimate delicious Generation app ever. In the last month, John and austin have been posting to the ILikeOlives blog.
From the ILikeOlives blog:
“And speaking of the whole “Delicious Generation” thing, we’ve taken Paul Kafasis’ narcissistic, pessimistic, manipulative, envy-driven rant and turned his negative “flashy but frivolous apps” meaning into a positive one. We’ve co-opted the phrase to relate to apps that strike a great balance between form and function. Form and function aren’t mutually exclusive. And this is what we’re about.”
At various Delicious Generation events, including the WWDC party, they have been giving out ‘Delicious Generation’ Shirts, with that logo above on them. Of course, many of us, including me, where not lucky enough to be able to visit WWDC 2007, or the Delicious Generation party and pick up one of these shirts. So, I asked John if he could donate a Delicious Generation Shirt for iAppblog. After a few long conversations, I realized that a Delicious Generation shirt is pretty cool, but, for the iAppblog readers, I wanted something more. So I thought, and thought, and finally came up with the idea. I asked John if he could get the some of the ILikeOlives members to actually sign the shirt! He replied saying it was a good idea, and he would “see what he can do”. He said he would actually give us 3 shirts instead of just 1. So, expect an autographed delicious generation shirt but he said it’ll be a surprise about who will be signing it.
So, I thought, these aren’t any normal shirts, these are autographed are produced by the same people who have brought some of the most beautiful apps to your mac, how in the world could I give them away? After long hours of thinking, I have decided a way. You are just going to tell us your favorite Delicious Generation App, and why. I will read through all the entries, and find the best 3. Please keep your entries between 100 and 200 word. But, the Delicious Generation is not all about normal text, so I am also allowing you to submit a multimedia composition, up to 1 minute about your favorite app. If you decide to do this, please upload it to the internet, and link to it in the “Why?” area. If you are making a song, or any multimedia composition that does not describe why it is your favorite app, you can also tell us in the “Why?” area.
To submit it, please visit http://iappblog.com/giveaway/
