CHUCK: Hey everybody and welcome to episode 35 of the iPhreaks Show. This week on our panel, we have Pete Hodgson.
PETE: Good morning from sunny San Francisco.
CHUCK: Andrew Madsen.
ANDREW: Good morning from cold Salt Lake City.
CHUCK: Jaim Zuber.
JAIM: Hey, hey. My, my.
ANDREW: Rock and roll will never die.
CHUCK: There we go.
JAIM: [Inaudible] on mood.
ANDREW: I’m a huge fan.
CHUCK: I’m Charles Max Wood from DevChat.TV. And this week, we have a special guest and that’s Chris Judd.
CHRIS: Thanks for having me.
CHUCK: Yeah, no problem. Since you haven’t been on the show before, do you want to introduce yourself really quickly?
CHRIS: Sure. I am the CTO of a medium-sized consulting company here at Columbus, Ohio called Manifest Solutions. And what I like to tell people is that by day, I’m a mild-mannered enterprise Java developer, but by night, I’m a crime-fighting mobile developer.
CHUCK: Ooh, very nice.
JAIM: Do you wear a cape for that?
CHRIS: I don’t. But one of the applications I worked on is like ADT for your body. So, if you feel like you’re in a harmful situation, you can triple click this big button in the app and it will dispatch emergency or police to your location or open a one-way communication to a dispatch center.
CHUCK: Oh, wow!
JAIM: Wow! That’s pretty cool.
PETE: It’s cool. It’s kind of like your phone is its own superhero or something.
CHUCK: There you go. Do you wear glasses during the day and then take them off to save the world?
CHRIS: Only when I go to the phone booth to change.
CHUCK: For a second there, I was like, “I’d like to see that,” and then I was like, “No, no I wouldn’t.”
[Laughter]
PETE: So, do you do mainly iOS development when it comes to mobile or do you do Android as well?
CHRIS: So, I do a variety. I do Android, iOS, I do mobile web, I’ve done some PhoneGap and I’m Titanium Certified.
PETE: Okay.
CHRIS: Wow.
PETE: That sounds like the kind of thing a superhero would say, “I am Titanium Certified.”
[Laughter]
PETE: But Kryptonite allergic.
CHUCK: Alright. Well, we brought you on today to talk about Mapkit.
CHRIS: Well, that’s great because I think writing applications that take advantage of mapping data are a lot of fun.
CHUCK: Do you know how many times my iPhone has gotten me lost?
CHRIS: No, I don’t.
[Laughter]
PETE: You have to be a real expert to know that. I know about everyone’s Mapkit.
CHUCK: It’s about half the time, it seems. I get directions and it’s just like,
