Glyder (0)
5/28/09 •
If you enjoy free-flying in games then Glyder by Glu is a good choice. Literally. The gameplay entails flying completely free based, with none of the usual additional burdens of dying or that ominous, yet strangely obsolete “game over.” You play as Eryn, a prototypically attractive female game character with slightly elvish features, who dons ...

Castle Wolfenstein 3D Classic (0)
5/27/09 •
Here’s something for nostalgia’s sake. It’s Wolfenstein3D from 1991! Only it’s better since you now get a map! No more aimlessly wandering identical halls for the intrepid Nazi hunter. Considering it’s played on a touchpad, it’s pretty easy to play, and the movement is very similar in speed and sensitivity as on a keyboard. As ... Read More

My mother was born in Toluca, a small community on the outskirts of Guadalajara in Jalisco, Mexico. Living in an already poverty-stricken country, my mother’s family was never wealthy and experienced many financial hardships that my mother overcame by adopting very prudent and resourceful ways of saving money. I remember as a child growing up ... Read More

As children, one of the activities we learn to do in kindergarten, maybe as early as preschool, is fingerpainting, for whatever purpose the teacher has in mind (I’m assuming motor skill coordination with a dash of messy creativity). Over time we start replacing our fingers with the more appropriate utensils of paintbrush, pens, pencils, other ... Read More
Twitterrific Terrific (0)

It’s springtime and the air is rife with the chirruping and tweeting of birds. Only these high pitched twitterings may actually be emanating from all the iPhone users who check Twitterific, an app that happily chirps, cheeps, and trills in the likeness of a bluebird, cardinal, or robin when you access your personal feed. Much ... Read More

I’m a to-do lister. I relish making lists. Perhaps it’s the Virgo in me, my desire to whittle down my organizational skills onto one scrap of lined paper, tasks neatly arranged in columns, with penciled-in squares to the left I can check off as I fastidiously complete a chore. There is something so satisfying in ... Read More

When traveling, we remember to bring those things of most importance and relevance to us – toiletries, clothing, the odd book, maybe a laptop nowadays – and many of us also brush up on some foreign language phrases or survival skills befitting of where we are going. Once we land, the first order of operation ... Read More

“I’ve been yelping since 2005.” When a word has been verbified, in the manner of Internet colloquialisms, it generally indicates how this word has permeated our collective common knowledge. For example, Google is a search engine, a solid noun, but when we search for things, it is common now to tell someone to “google” it; ... Read More

Many people like predictability in their food. They choose the same thing for dinner each night, carefully dividing their plate into neat portions of meat, vegetable, and starch, maybe adding something sweet for dessert. For them, simplicity and familiarity in food is comfortable, soothing, and easy. But what if you’re an adventurous eater? You crave ... Read More
