Care to teach your child how to write in an easy and fun way? In class your child is already inundated with the writing and rewriting and rewriting again of countless a,a,a,a,a,a,a, the entire alphabet, in print and cursive, to memorize letters and their meaning. This, of course, is of utmost importance to the budding ... Read More

As a child, I thoroughly enjoyed stuffed animals – a collection of about 200 that I sorrowfully lost at the age of 15, an act I coyly refer to as “The Great Stuffed Animal Removal Act of 2001” – but what I truly enjoyed was anything involving crayons and markers. I loved to draw, color ... Read More

“Om Shanti Shanti Shanti” This chanted phrase is easily recognized by anyone who has taken a yoga class – that is, any Yoga class not taken at a 24-hour fitness or some other highly corporate gym environment where the physical aspects of Yoga take precedence over the spiritual. Yoga is a highly spiritual endeavor that ... Read More

I remember when San Francisco Rush: Extreme Racing was released for the Nintendo 64 way back when, I didn’t enjoy the racing part so much as the practice track where you could roam around in your vehicle without the constraints of time. Maybe because I am a girl, I enjoyed the domestic side of car ... Read More

I just spent the last two hours riding a roller coaster. Where, you may ask? Right here on my iPhone. AirCoaster 3D by San Francisco-based developer Ziconic is seriously addictive. If you hate waiting in lines at amusement parks, then why not make your own simulated roller coaster in your bedroom, in the comfort of ... Read More

I’m usually a very organized person. I enjoy those small leather-bound notebooks with lined paper where I may jot down notes in my very illegible penmanship and then attempt to decipher them later during times of dire straits. I simply relish the process of recording information, for the simple sake of writing. However, when it ... Read More

The first paid iPhone app I downloaded shortly after I received my iPhone was a 99 cent app called Doodle Jump by New York based Lima Sky (@LimaSky on Twitter). A catchy name combined with a character that reminded me of Pac-Mac may have had something to do with my decision to purchase Doodle Jump. ... Read More

Having been a student for a large portion of my life, I can appreciate a good organizer or day planner. In college it is especially easy to become overwhelmed with the different projects and papers and midterms you have for each class, and add on top of that your separate but hectic schedule of socializing, ...

<insert review here> I’m not kidding. I’m a little pissed off, frankly. I downloaded the new Sims 3 app for the iPhone at a fairly steep $9.99 and I haven’t been able to open the game, let alone play it. I would have included some in-game pictures and some comments on the gameplay had I ... Read More
Grammar Up (0)

We are all taught grammar in elementary school. We learn the difference between those important building blocks of language – nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs – and then later we learn more tongue twisters like prepositions, pronouns, conjunctions, infinitives and gerunds. I remember when moving to California most of my friends were not taught grammar after ... Read More
