The environmentalists of this era are often dramatized as hemp-wearing hippies who tied themselves to ... Read More

Sports Week Wrap-Up (0)
2/05/10 •
It’s Sports Week on Appstruck, so what’s the first sporting app I choose to write about? Bowling. And, later? Air Hockey. That’s right, folks, you’re looking at a bonafide chick/geek. I can almost hear some testosterone-laden, gym rat jock grunting, “Huh, bowling. That’s not even a sport. What a chick!” But, enough with the stereotypes: ... Read More
Let it Snow! Skiing Apps for the iPhone *UPDATE* (1)
1/12/10 •
I am not a skiier. In fact, I’ve never skiied. Or, at least, I’ve never done downhill skiing, which is arguably the only way to ski. My boyfriend, on the other hand, is a skier. Gliding this way and that, effortlessly, over powdery snow, sloshing pretty streams of it in either direction, he just exudes ... Read More

Another year over, already? I swear, time passes by more quickly the older I get. Curiously, as it turns out, science has my back in this perception.

Yesterday, it finally felt like winter. With mittens and a scarf, and my cloche hat with plucked robin’s feather, I saw my breath for the first time, under gray, grizzled skies, and the whitewash of incoming clouds.

11/25/09 •
With Thanksgiving tomorrow, it’s no wonder I see more people out running today. Sure, it may be cliche to write about, since not everybody gorges themselves silly on this day of feast-to-end-all-feasts, but the majority of us do want that extra helping of gravy and stuffing, and, yes, we do want a big, sticky wedge ...

It’s finally arrived. The space Droid with the ominous, glowing red eye has come to conquer the denizens of Earth. Or, so it seems from the fantastic ad campaigns. With xenophobe meteors plummeting to the Earth and perplexed, onlooking people tiptoeing toward the crash site, to be greeted by the metallic, grating voice of “D-R-O-I-D,” ... Read More
