Voice Alarm Counting down to iPhonageddon (2)
7/25/09 •
It’s a bit chilling, hearing the mechanical voice of my iPhone counting down to my future. Granted I selected this future and gave my iPhone all of the details, so it is not nearly as sci-fi as I wish it could be (that can be left to another app). VoiceAlarm is an app available for ... Read More

Aside from Chutes and Ladders, one of the go-to games of my childhood was Connect Four – yes, that big hunk of yellow plastic that comes with black and red plastic coins to drop in slots, in the strategic hope of connecting four in a row, straight across or diagonally. I wasn’t the greatest player, ... Read More

iFear – all about phobias! (0)
7/24/09 •
If you have clinophobia, this is the iPhone app for you! Hippocampo, Qabiria and SavoirIT have created iFear, a comprehensive dictionary of fears, which surprisingly is not scary (unless you have technophobia). If you are a psychological hypochondriac then read on for hours of masochistic self-analysing “fun”, if not then the app offers an extensive ... Read More
Write My Name (1)
7/23/09 •
Write My Name is as simple as it gets. By developer Reefcube, the iPhone app Write My Name is meant to teach your child to write his own name by tapping the letters of his name in the correct order. Since the app needs to know the child’s name prior, the parent must type in ... Read More
Sheeps Gone Crazy (2)
7/23/09 •
Everyone is entitled to his tastes and preferences, and every now and then friends will quibble over the merits of one movie over another, how the Grapes of Wrath is a much better read than East of Eden (I disagree), and whether a chocolate torte should be paired with a rich, Late Bottled Vintage port ...

Bubble Twirrl (3)
7/22/09 •
It’s the return of the bubble popping game! Only, it never really left, did it? When I was in High School (oh, not too long ago) I was an addict of Snood, this pixilated angry-face popping game where you shoot objects in the hopes of creating a cluster of them and thereby having them explode, ...

It’s happened to all of us. You get dressed to the nines, put on those sexy 4 inch heels or that cerulean blue button down from Kenneth Cole that collects more dust than admiration in the back of the closet, then add some goop and groom our usually flat or rumpled hair, and check our ... Read More
Maya 3D (0)
7/21/09 •
At its height, the pre-Columbian civilization of the Mayans flourished with expansive kingdoms and impressive works of architecture, a highly civilized society skilled in architecture and astronomy, and known, perhaps notoriously and sensationally, for their aggressive and violent city-states. However, today many people are familiar with the exquisitely detailed Mayan Calendar, brought forth dramatically into ... Read More
A Whale of an iPhone App! (0)
7/21/09 •
It was finally time for me to take on the hunt for the best green iPhone app. I recycle even when it means lugging coffee cups for blocks, buying all of my produce at farmers’ markets at least twice a week, and I have even started buying $5 boxes of 13 rolled compostable trash bags ... Read More
