Im hangin out at doomers house in AZ, chillin out waiting till i fly out tomorrow to Costa Rica, i figured id post a little update.
Had a fun NYE party with some of doomers friends, it was a good time, bottle rockets in AZ are way more intense due to the fire hazard.
The end of year has been great for me, i made an iphone app that really caught fire, its called "instaliked" and i made it in 3 days ( which is fast ) and it exploded on the app store, so i milked the app store sales for a few months, and then i sold it on an iOS app auction website for a really nice chunk of change.
It felt alot like winning a decent sized poker tournament, its not something i can reproduce every time, and it doesnt mean im the best at anything, but i worked hard and got lucky enough, and its a nice payday.
With the income from ios apps and my day job, i smashed my goal of a 6 figures year, and that made me pretty proud, especially having the iphone app be the thing that put me well over.
I havent started on a new iphone app project yet, im thinking about making a photo editing one, im not really sure, theres lots of competition for everything out there. I really would love to make an app that bridges the real poker or gambling scene with the crappy "casino" apps they already have everywhere, i think with the background I have in gambling and gaming, and all the stories weve all heard on the poker forums, i could potentially put together a really fun story line and user experience for a gambling game on the iPad or something. Anyways those are the 2 ideas floating in my head, but the second one would take far too much time and dedication, im not ready to quit my day job yet.
Other than all the work stuff, ive been looking at poker again and watching Doomer play, i think i have a better mind set this time to possibly return AS A HOBBY and nothing more, i just need to find the right site to play on.
Family stuff has been well, my dad had cancer last year, and seems to be doing great, its never a full lock that its all gone, but thats what it looks like for now.
The rest of my family and life is going great.
Year plans are to get to Costa RIca next week and surf for about a month and hang out, work on iphone apps, and enjoy some time off from my day job.
After that back home and to the grind, where i plan on finding space for my house i want to build, and working with architects to get a design finalized.
This summer I will be going down to vegas, hopefully during WSOP season, id really like to see some of the old crew.
That about sums it up, happy new year to you all, hope its a great year for everyone.
