iPhone app with UCSD Roots Named One of 10 Best Apps by Gizmodo

The TowerMadness roll continues...Gizmodo named them one of the week's best iPhone apps. The fact that they created a free version of the game that is supported by ads that are "not very annoying" seems popular with the blogosphere.

...it's amazing the things you learn when you don't turn off a Google Alert.

Hey Jacobs School?! What/who else (related to engineering) should we be monitoring via Google Alerts?

TowerMadness Zero and "the Apple Blog"

On Halloween 2009, the Apple Blog featured TowerMadness, an iPhone app and game with roots in computer science at UC San Diego (see the story I wrote about TowerMadness here).

The team of iPhone app developers doesn't ever seem to slow down. They recently launched, "TowerMadness Zero", a free version of their award-winning tower-defense 3D game.

We recently featured TowerMadness in the Fall 2009 issue of the Jacobs School alumni magazine, Pulse. Check out the Pulse Towermadness story here...but to get the full effect, check out the graphic layout in the print version of Pulse and navigate down to page 14.

Twitter is a good place to get your TowerMadness fix.
