We’ve blogged about Parra almost as many times as he’s created products for Apple. Now that he’s released his own iPhone app, we can declare our love official. It comes as the latest piece for Incase products curated by Arkitip. The application includes some very basic games like memory, follow the leader and Simon, all sprinkled with Parra’s lightning and clouds design. It seems like great fun for kids, but really attractive for adults. And Parra’s app is free (no ads or pop ups), so no complaining. Here’s a link to the iTunes store. Now go and teach your children about good design.

Just a quick note, remember the Memory Cloud post we put up last week (think text message + smoke signals + lasers). Well it all went down and there are amazing pictures. Check out the Memory Cloud site and this flickr set for a full look and congrats to the minimaforms for a very successful exhibition.

When I was a young kid, a friend and I got in loads of trouble for trying to send smoke signals and burning down half of my friend’s back yard (I still swear all fires were controlled). Now my childhood dream of sending smoke signals is getting the artistic touch from Minimaforms (brothers, Stephen and Theodore Spyropoulos). As part of an interactive public display Memory Clouds will be created that project personal statements involving text, light and viritual ink built around conversations. We have no idea how this will even be possible. Expect some ‘oooh’s and ‘awww’s along the same line as fireworks (some small samples of what to expect after the jump). Things kick off Wednesday night at Trafalgar Square in London and will run till Friday.
