The last quarter century of my life, I have played many roles in the technology world, but the one area that has consistently fascinated me are software tools to express creativity – from the original MacPaint and MacDraw, to the reign of Photoshop, I have seen and worked with more interesting programs used to make cool images and sounds than I can even reasonably remember. Of all the wacky, wild stuff that crossed my desk, I can indeed tell you that one program that landed on my Mac II, Flowfazer, had an impact like little else, and I have many fond memories of staring into a 13” Apple color monitor with my eyeballs twitching out of their sockets, falling into the smooth, hypnotic trance induced by the creative minds of David Levine and Todd Rundgren. When it comes to screen savers, Flying Toasters may have won many branding battles, but Flowfazer was the ultimate cool cat, and the idea that I can enjoy it again on an iPad – for a dollar! – makes me happier than passionfruit pie. Like a long lost dream come back into sharp focus, Flowfazer is the ultimate iPad visual toy. Whether you’re an old Machead, or a newly-minted iPad owner, you need this app yesterday. Thanks for time machine, Mr. Levine!
