Any app killers out there? Do you perform the three-finger salute--you know, Ctrl, Alt, Del--every day? Even if you aren't an app-killer by nature, this app will give you the chance to be a maniacal grim app-killer, laying waste to any processes that stand in your way. Dana Hanna (the "Software Jedi") keeps cranking out winners in his An App a Day project. He is proving his Ninja Jedi skills by ...

We've been following "Software Jedi" Dana Hanna's An App A Day for a couple months with much enthusiasm. Two interesting side-effects of his project to write a program every day for a month is that he's releasing a lot of open source code and inspiring a lot of people to make their own apps.

This is a feat that I know I myself, as a programmer, wish I had the free time resources and mental energy to attempt, and the ambition doesn't hurt either. There is no telling what Dana will come up with or what ...
