Samantha Goes to Elefante

My late grandmother was a big fan of dinner theater. In fact, she died during the third act of a production of Madame Butterfly at a Japanese restaurant in the Valley. I, on the other hand, am not a fan of dramatics with my dining, which is why I am giving my lowest rating EVER to Elefante, the restaurant owned by mildly successful 90s sitcom actor BoJack Horseman.

The food was…well, somewhat fantastic, but at one point during the experience I witnessed Mr. Horseman himself fighting loudly with a pink cat who I believe was his agent (or maybe his ex-agent after that little spat?). I also witnessed a member of the kitchen staff racing through the dining room WHILE IN FLAMES. Might I add that I also waited over 2 hours for my food? It was most frustrating.

One bright spot in the meal: The air freshener in the bathroom was cloying and reminded me my grandmother, the one who died at that Japanese restaurant in the Valley.

STAR RATING: 412 out of 1,000,000,000

How I feel when someone takes a photo with me...

Today I worked on something a little more cerebral. I made a game!

Bubble Breaker is a clone os the classic Flash game (remember those?) Bubble Shooter. Back when I first started with the ambulance, Bubble Shooter was passed around via email as a COM object inside an Excel spreadsheet. Ah, the things we did to pass the time.

Now, we all carry iPads, and they're "locked down", so we get a nasty-gram whenever we download something unapproved from the App Store. I don't like nasty-grams. So, I made the Bubble Breaker web app—it's unmanaged and can be added to the home screen just like a native app. And, if you score highly, you can submit a high score!

Features

Native-style widgets via Framework7

Supports Touch Events

Submission of High Scores

Can add to iOS home screen with icon

Limitations

Targeting portrait-mode iPad resolution only (will fix)

Requires internet connection to load

Does not handle orientation changes well (will fix...)
