We just submitted Knapsack 2.2 for review to the Mac App Store. Hopefully we won’t run into any snags and Knapsack will make it through quick and easy.
In the meantime, here’s a little peek at what’s coming in this update. Knapsack 2.2 adds support for Activity Photos. You can now add photos or other images to your trip activities along with locations and the trip summary.
Knapsack will copy the photo into your trip and will display it inline and include it when the trip is printed. Double-clicking on a photo will show you the full-sized image:
Look for the official release soon!

Apple recently announced dates for WWDC 2011 which sold out in about ten hours. With help from some friends I was able to procure tickets, a nearby affordable hotel, and free flights using miles.
I’m pretty excited about this year’s World Wide Developers Conference since I missed last year due to short notice and existing plans. With all of the new things coming in Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion), Apple is sure to provide tons of new information. I’m looking to be inspired as we plan for some new things coming from Outer Level.
As I was putting together my trip itinerary in Knapsack, I thought it would be fun to share it with any other developers also making the pilgrimage this year. Maybe it can save you some time when putting your plans together.
You can use File > Import Trips… to import the WWDC itinerary into Knapsack where you can customize the details for your own plans.
If you have any suggestions for activities or locations to included in the itinerary, I’d love to hear from you.

As I mentioned in my 2010 End of Year post, it’s been a crazy year for Outer Level. Adding two new products (Knapsack and LicenseKeeper for iPhone) and jumping in to Apple’s new Mac App Store has kept me really busy. So busy that I’ve been struggling to get everything done that I need to.
I’d like to welcome Kirby Turner to the Outer Level team. Kirby will be helping out with new development on Knapsack, our travel app.
I met Kirby about a year ago when he first started joining us at the Boston CocoaHeads meetings and we got along right away. As I started considering the need for help, Kirby seemed like the perfect guy to help since he was always asking me about new Knapsack features and when the heck was I going to make an iPad version.
Kirby is an outdoorsman, long-time programmer, and even a budding author: “Learning iPad Programming, A Hands-On Guide to Building Apps for the iPad”
