From their site:
In this episode we chat about Aperture 3, 1Password, and Apple Care. We also compare Run and Canabalt, and by compare I mean we raise our voices a couple octaves and argue which is better.

Gowalla is an excellent social app that allows you to check in to locations all around the world.

When the team at Butterscotch.com (owned by Tucows) asked me if I wanted to shoot a screen test / episode for their A-List show, I had to say yes!
