Egg-stra Special iPhone App  

Growing up as a Croatian-American, one of my favorite memories of Easter Sunday has to do with the European tradition of "egg-tapping," or "tucanje."

In many Eastern European countries, people take their colored Easter eggs in hand and square off against each other at the table, tapping the eggs together and seeing which one cracks. Surprisingly, it's very rare to break both eggs. The losing egg
gets eaten, while the winner moves on to the next challenger.

The whole thing introduces a layer of fun and competition to the Easter brunch experience and allows for all kinds of shenanigans and smack-talking. I've always suspected my father used a shellacked egg that one year he ran the table.

Anyhoo, this all leads me to a brand-spanking new app, just approved by the capos di Cupertino. It's called EggsEggsEggs, and it allows you to play simulated egg-tapping on your iPhone. It's quite a physical application, allowing players to swing their phones around and gauge the level of impact.
