• What if LinkedIn had been invented in the 80s?

Have you found anything interesting this week? Please share!

OK, until very recently I have been anti-Apple. I admit it. Then my Android phone turned out to be total crap and useless. So I needed a new phone and had a choice between some Symbiant thing and an iPhone (Android being out of the question for good).

I grudgingly ordered an iPhone and have become an Apple convert since. Enough said!

This is my weekend cooking iPhone edition with fun and/or useful foodie apps.

• Coffee counter app for iPhone. Totally cute and useful for the coffee addict.
• Evernote food app to keep track of what you eat, where and everything else you might ever want to remember about any given meal. If you are an Evernote user and a food lover this is great for you.
• Sense Cooking, a cooking simulation game where you have to cut ingredients into halves, spread oil in a pan evenly, guess amounts of water etc. It is supposed to train your sensory motoric skills and sounds like fun.
• Foodmeter tells you how healthy a certain type of food is, complete with nutritional facts.
• Easy temperature converter for your recipes with foreign temperatures
• Learn how to make Sushi with the Sushi Cook

Have you got or do you know of any cute, neat, practical iPhone apps that are food related? Link us up, please!

 

• Uniflame is talking today about the app How to cook everything vegetarian. Definitely worth a look! 
• Gnoe mentioned the Foodspotting app, an app that tells you which dishes you can find in the area you are in right now.

I felt like something spring on my phone, so I used a few elements and a paper by Nina from simply me to make this very simple wallpaper for Android. The size is 640 x 480px , to download, please go to the file at mobile9.

Additional credits: Foliage brush by Jason Gaylor, designfruit.

 

To give you an idea, you can see what the wallpaper might look like in real life, depending on your phone model and homescreen.…

This one is called “A la beauté” because the writing in the background is from “Hymn à la beauté” by Charles Beaudelaire.

Size is 640px x 480px again. To download please go to the file at mobile9.  

 

And this is a an example of what your phone might look like using this…

I don’t know whether I’ll be doing SE themes much longer since I’m switching phones in a few days (hopefully the new one won’t get stolen on the way again). So, this is “Over the Rainbow”. Using it puts me in a really good mood.

The theme is available here at mobile9.com. You will also find more previews there.

“Another Place“ is a piece of art with 100 sculptures by artist Antony Gormley, which is situated at Crosby Beach, England, at the moment. It looks as if it might stay there for good. An absolutely lovely place. I’ve had those photos on my HD for a couple of years and wanted to do something with them, but never knew what. Now I turned them into a phone theme, which is available at mobile9.com.

For more previews and the free download, please go here at mobile9.com.

A new theme for SE called “Machinery” is available on mobile9.com. For additional previews and your free download go here.

A bit different in style than my other themes, grungy and, I think, pretty cool. The theme is available now at mobile9.com. For an additional preview and your free download go here.

My new SE phone theme “Wallflower” is now available at mobile9.com. To see more previews and download it for free, go here.

I absolutely love this one. If you are a girly girl and/or if you liked my “Happy Holidays” theme, you will like this one, too. It is available now on mobile9.com. For the free download and more previews go here.
