BeblowSquared

Hey, this is BeblowSquared and thanks for stopping by our little space on the web! Who are we? We are Dale & Dairen, two brothers from Canada who decided to write some applications for two of our favorite devices, the iPhone & iPod Touch. Our first two programs are myBadHabits and myParlay... we came up with the ideas on a recent trip to Vegas. We thought they would be programs we could use and hope that others will find them of use, too. Please check out our blog entries for these programs for more information and if you like these programs be sure to check back regularly as we plan on developing more (and hopefully unique) apps.

Thanks!

myParlay

Easy calculation of parlay payouts for people who enjoy parlaying sports bets.





I don't know what parlaying means for any of you but for me and my brother it usually involves stringing together some mixed martial arts and boxing fights. We love traveling to the USA and usually find ourselves in Vegas a few times a year. After the ritual stopping by the sports books of different hotels we eventually end up back in the room going through the bet sheets to estimate different parlay combinations to plan our bets for the trip. One late morning while soaking up some sun in a Venetian pool we thought it would be great to have an app that we could use to easily calculate out parlay payouts. I'm sure anyone who has calculated these knows what a pain it is, especially if you mis-key a number and have to restart from the beginning... and when you are on vacation the less thinking you have to do the better, especially after a few drinks! Anyway, we wrote this application to make this aspect of our trip more enjoyable. Whatever leads you to parlaying sports bets, whether you frequent Vegas like us or otherwise, we hope you find this application useful. Good luck with your parlaying!!

Besides, here are some good reasons why you need this app:
- It will give you a reason to pull out your fancy iPhone or iPod touch and impress people
- People won't have to know you aren't proficient in math
- You can figure out what parlay option will give you the payout you need for a plane ticket home

:) Have a great day!

myBadHabits

Easy monitoring of bad habits for people working on eliminating bad habits.





How many of you are like me? You pay for a gym membership but need a GPS device to find the place? And how many of you love your iPhone and iPod touch and would have trouble functioning without it? Let's face it, we all have bad habits we would like to get rid of. I got tired of my bad habits so I thought why not use my iPhone / iPod touch to help me break my bad habits. And since my iPhone is always with me I can easily monitor my progress and really work towards eliminating my bad habits. I hope this app helps you with your bad habits and 'New Year' resolutions too - good luck!!

Besides, here are some good reasons why you need this app:
- You smoke too much and your fingers look like they were scribbled on with a yellow highlighter
- You regularly wake up in your car with the engine running and 5 opened bags of chips on the passenger seat after a heavy night of drinking
- A significant amount of your budget is spent on Bingo dabbers
- You feel guilty when you tell people you smoke your favorite herb to deal with your arthritis pain
- You claim you made 4 trips to the buffet table only because you wanted to get your 'moneys worth'
- You claim you don't wash your hands after doing number 1 or number 2 because you want to reduce your footprint on the environment
- Due to excessive tanning you find that 'Armor All' is the only product that seems to rejuvenate your skin
- You claim you don't brush your teeth because the bristles are abrasive and will damage your teeth

:) Have a great day!
