• From Dallas, a Potentially Killer App For the iPhone -- If You Play Chess

  Wired brings what could be big news out of a small start-up in Dallas that has the potential to become a strong player amongst those creating applications for iPhones. Newtoy mays be a new company, but its founders are familiar faces in the gaming industry: As Paul and David Bettner write on their site, the brothers "recently quit their jobs with Microsoft’s Ensemble Studios to follow a lifelong dream of forming their own game studio, and Newtoy Inc. was born. Prior to leaving Ensemble, Pa

• Blockdot Goes on the iPhone Apps "Gold Rush" With Chicktionary

  The latest issue of Newsweek IDs the latest and greatest way to make money since Ponzi schemes: iPhone applications. Says one Austin-based developer, "It's kind of a gold rush." Which, nice segue, leads us to the media release that landed in the in-box a couple of days back from yet another Dallas-based company developing games for the iPhone: Blockdot on N. Central Expressway, the Kewlboxers who, earlier this month, dropped word-game fave Chicktionary into the Applications bin for a cool $1.99,

• My Photographic Farewell to Texas Stadium

  I never claimed to be a great writer. Even a worse photographer.Nonetheless, armed with an iPhone and a life's worth of memories, I'd be honored if you'd allow me to take you on a tour of Texas Stadium's final night. Follow me. Right this way. Here it is. The house that Tex Schramm built and Tom Landry turned into an icon.  Everybody is nostalgic. Even, um, Santa Cowboy and his elves? Let's go in for one last spin around the joint, shall we?

• This Or That: The Jonas Brothers? Or Just Another Crappy Local Band?

  Alright, so this one's a trick question, admittedly. See, the JoBros are locals at this point, as this USA Today article from this morning so dutifully depicts.But the above clip, which ran on Saturday Night Live last weekend is a pretty funny look at the Jonas Brothers as time travelers. Worth the watch, I'd say. Anyway there's a reason why this week's installment of  This or That isn't really a competition. Basically, this little feature seems to have run its course as a weekly segment.

  Ah, the Dallas Cowboys' off-season. A time to blog about ghosts and running and iPhones and, of course, the Dallas Cowboys. Thanks to Terence Newman, there's even fresh meat to chew upon in between Terrell Owens' departure and the NFL Draft's arrival. Short version: Troy Aikman questions whether Tony Romo has yet fully grasped what it takes to be quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys. Zing! Then Newman, who's shown in the past that he's bold enough but not quite bright enough to be team spokesm

  [Last week, we asked a few bands to check in with us from time to time over the course of the week to tell us about their SXSW experiences. Now, with the fest over, those diatribes are starting to show. Johnny Lloyd Rollins' take on the fest is a little different from the others we've posted so far. For one, none of his showcases were sanctioned SXSW events. And, second, he videotaped his entries. Ah, technology. Enjoy.]Explains Rollins: "RJ Wafer and Kirk Miller (metro mix NYC) join me for some

  Forbes today is but the latest in a long line of media outlets to celebrate Big in Japan's made-in-Dallas ShopSavvy app, currently available only for the T-Mobile Android. The Stemmons Freeway-based developers are rushing as fast as they can to get their bar-code-scanning, price-checking app to the iPhone, but noted two weeks ago that "our biggest hurdle has been to perfect barcode scanning using a fixed focal length camera." Then, two days later, the company asked for iPhone owners' help -- pro

  My first introduction to a cucumber sandwich was sometime back in the mid-1990s, when I was a young teenager on some kind of church or tennis trip to the Deep South. Somewhere between Georgia and Louisiana, which might be Alabama, I remember stopping in a tiny town where the air hung thick around the ancient, mossy trees and reverberated with the incessant buzz of overzealous cicadas. In a little yellow cottage with a wrap-around porch, there was an old lady serving cold lemonade and cucumber s

Because, hey, if it's good enough for Pittsburgh, it's good enough for Dallas. Besides, she writes, such an app would come in handy when you're down $190 million: "With our

It's just like Idol, only not at all!Anyway, details after the jump.
