I am happy to finally announce, we made an iPhone app for all you Silicon Prairie News addicts. This app was built as a labor of love with both the Ninth Division and SPN team. Everyone working on the app wanted to use this app for themselves and we knew you did too.

For some reason its fun to know what tools people use to make the things they use. What did they use to build that house, ink that comic book, write that book, put up that sky scrapper.... or in my case build that software program.
