An Experiment in App Pricing, Inspired by Marco Arment (aka 50% off all my apps)
Spurred by a recent post by Marco Arment, developer extraordinaire of the Instapaper app, I'm going to remove the free versions of my apps for a short period of time, and halve the price of my paid apps.
I'd like to try it for two weeks, and then post a before/after effect. I don't depend entirely on iPhone revenue, so I can afford to, for all intents and purposes, play around with the economics here. I agree with all of Marco's reasons for doing it, and I want to see if it'll work out for me.
By the way, if you don't have my apps, and you want some kick-ass signal analysis apps on your phone, go get them.
I'll make that slightly bigger —

The Invisible Scent
Brosius’s mission became clear. Ackerman had outlined it for him: “Smells detonate softly in our memory like poignant land mines, hidden under the weedy mass of many years and experiences. Hit a tripwire of smell, and memories explode all at once. A complex vision leaps out of the undergrowth.”
He had to find those undergrowths, everywhere. The smell of dirt made him happy and inspired a feeling of playfulness and youth. Why? He reasoned that as children, people dug around a lot in the yard. Kids grew up smelling dirt. Brosius shoveled some soil from his farm into a plastic bag and brought it back to New York. He and a partner had started a company called Demeter, and Brosius recalls throwing his bag of dirt on the table and telling everyone in the room, “I want this.”

For posterity, and because it won't last long
For now, I am king of the hill at the Harvard medical school squash league. How I got to the top doesn't matter. The only thing I'm concerning myself about how I'm going to stay there.
But, I'm pretty serious about making this the status quo.
