One of my former employees from Discovery reached out the other day, letting me know that he is no longer at Discovery, he and his family have moved to Paris, France. His wife is part of their Foreign Ministry, and her new posting was back in the City of Lights. That's a loss for Discovery in my opinion, he was working on some interesting projects, and he is a very talented programmer with other skills such as project management.
In the email, he also introduced me to a program he wrote for the iPhone called Cultureous: Washington DC. This great application is for anyone who is traveling to DC, or who is living there and just wants to know more about the city. It is not just a list of interesting things to see in DC, of which there are many, but goes way deeper and gives you insights and multimedia content that really expand your knowledge of the particular monument, museum, attraction, etc. The application has a clean and easy to navigate interface, and uses geolocation to point out locations that are close to you that you may want to visit. Well worth the $2.99 asking price.
Great job Peter, can't wait to see what you turn out next!
Here is the link to the application in iTunes Cultureous - Washington DC
BTW due to Apple's ridiculous application approval process, they gave Cultureous a "Mature" rating, since it references links from Wikipedia and such, where you MIGHT come across adult themed material. This is absolutely one of the dumbest things I have ever heard. If that were true, the Safari web browser on the iPhone should be labeled NC-17...
