While at a local (Richmond, VA) French restaurant I excused myself to go to the mens' room. When I walked in, there was a guy standing at a urinal with an iPhone to his ear while he, uhm, took care of business. Realizing that iPhone users are a cut above, I naturally assumed that the gentleman was suffering from classical "Urinal Stage Fright" and that there must be "an app for that!"
It turns out that there wasn't. Now there is.
At a touch of the button, iTinkle plays sounds to pee by - or, more exactly, sounds that make you want to pee. In fact, I challenge anyone to listen to the carefully selected tracks played by iTinkle and not get the urge to "release the hounds". When I played this for my brother over the phone, he chuckled and told me it was "cute". Less than a minute later, he passed the phone to his daughter saying "Here, talk to your uncle Phil!" and headed to the WC.
Score one for Pavlov! (True story!)
The app is pretty self explanatory - pick a sound, press the button, pee. That being said, if you have any problems with the app itself send me a note, if your problems are more in the peeing area - well, you're on your own. Lastly, if you have a favorite sound loop that others might enjoy, post a link with your comment so we can all check it out. If it is open source and works for folks, I'll add it to a future, uhm, "release".
Best,
Phil
