new HelloBar(11923,7935); The Hello Bar is a simple web toolbar that engages users and communicates a call to action. Heyo I’m Henry Balanon! This is my personal blog. I post about things that interest me. I am the Co-Founder and Director of Mobile at Detroit Labs (funded by Detroit Venture Partners) where I create iPhone/iPad/Android apps. Recent and current brands: Stryker, Fathead, Quicken Loans, Caesars Entertainment, and Learning A-Z. Previously, I ran a company called Bickbot where I did iPhone/iPad apps. I am a national speaker on mobile technologies (mostly iPhone/iPad). Most recently TEDx, #140conf, 360iDev, iPhoneDevCon, iCEAmsterdam. Every so often I’ll show up in places like the Detroit News, Detroit Free Press, NPR/PRI, BBC World News Radio, and the New York Times. I co-founded food blog The Hungry Dudes. We’ve been featured in the Detroit Free Press and the Washington Post. Follow me on Twitter. Stalk me on Facebook.
