This app is a trade secret! One of the secrets to getting a good dog portrait is to get their attention. This app does just that. It produces a flash (as much of a flash as an iPhone can make) and makes a sound. When the dog looks up, SNAP! You can select one of several different colors of flashes, and one of about a dozen sounds. You can then program a delay of zero to 5 seconds after you "pull the trigger". The trigger can be a tap on the iPhone screen, or a nudge.

I'm often on the floor with my subjects, so I put the phone beside me, set up for a three second delay after a nudge. I reach out and bump the phone, listen for the countdown clicks, and the sound. The dog looks (or not, depending on the sound and his temperament) and I get the picture. Bump the phone and try again.

Ever go out to eat with someone who orders a couple of drinks, a bottle of wine, the filet mignon, and Bananas Foster while you have a Cobb salad and then expects to split the bill in two? If you’re tired of subsidizing someone like that, try Dine and Divide. It will let you assign the items to the people that ordered them, divide the tax and the tip equitably, and do it while Chucky with the calculator is still trying to find the on button. It will handle big parties and small, and if you have a group of people with whom you frequently go out, you can keep their names in lists you can recall in an instant.

“Another check splitting program?” said my wife. “Aren’t there enough of those already?” Well, there are several of them, for sure. But there are different models of refrigerators, aren’t there? This app is cool, cute, and quick.
