Oh, thank god it’s Friday. How often have we all said that? That iconic phrase, that quintessentially American phrase of being over and done with the 9-5 grind, the end of weekday classes and no more bizarre discussion tangents by Professor Bob Anderson in Magic, Witchcraft, and Culture. It marks the entrance to relaxation and ... Read More

PhotoZen worth 1000 words (0)
7/31/09 •
I was originally drawn to PhotoZen by the promise of a visual conversation. Having spent time steeping in abstraction through my undergraduate degree, the thought of an abstract conversation with a stranger was especially tempting. This would be my abstract social life. Pure human to human interaction without the messiness of getting to know them… ... Read More
Quiz Game Land (0)
7/30/09 •
For my generation, raised from wee toddlers to early teens in the 1990’s, computer games were something of a regular pastime, taking an equal hold of tongue-wagging fascination as those already established video game console systems – those iconic grey Nintendos kept sheltered, dust-free in giant wooden entertainment centers that held a TV, videos, surround ...

Razor Reef Brain Addition – I loved it! (5)
7/30/09 •
If only I had the chance to use an iPhone throughout my life… helping me through both standardized testing and relationships from the third grade through high school. Maybe my nostalgia has arisen with my recent arithmetic practice thanks to Razor Reef Brain Addiction. Now that my early addition troubles are over, as are my ... Read More

I discovered Craigslist in 2005. I’m sure everyone has their moment of clarity when fondly remembering the first time they came upon this immensely useful site, much like how the forest animals reminisced about where they were when they heard Bambi’s mother was shot in Gary Larson’s satirical comic strip The Far Side. Craiglist has ... Read More

Hello Appstruck Readers, Next week we are introducing Themed Weeks to our repertoire, with each week focusing on iPhone apps of a specific genre, whether that be Music, Medicine, Food, Organization, Tech, Fitness, Finance, and anything else under the sun.

Water Balloon Drop Hollywood (4)
7/28/09 •
There’s something so satisfying about pegging someone unawares with a water balloon. It’s something vestigial from childhood, this desire to catch someone off guard and pelt him with an array of plastic bombs in some very boyish act of guerrilla warfare. Of course, on the receiving end it’s not only annoying, it’s drenching, and generally ... Read More
Tap Star – DDR at your Fingertips (1)
7/28/09 •
Tap Star is a battery drainer. The iPhone app you hate to love, because it is addicting. Tap Tap Revenge 2 has a run for it’s money with Tap Star. Honestly, I am not a champion at either of these games, but who says you have to succeed to have a good time. I was ... Read More
