So Deepak Chopra has a yoga app. Wait, you don’t know who Deepak Chopra is? He’s only one of the most esteemed leaders of alternative medicine, known in this country for bringing Ayurvedic medicine to the limelight, and who, to this day, is unfortunately criticized greatly by stringently Western-based doctors who lack an open mind ...

Earth Day! 20 Green iPhone Apps for the Ecologically Aware (0)
4/26/10 •
Can you believe the first Earth Day was celebrated in 1970, in a time when having an ecological mindset was correlated more with wearing birkenstocks and eating – the horror – foods not provided in a colorfully designed cardboard box? The environmentalists of this era are often dramatized as hemp-wearing hippies who tied themselves to ... Read More

4/20/10 •
Rubber Knife Throw is a perfect example of what I call a “just for fun” app. Easy to pick up and put down, easy to learn, and mildly entertaining for those casual, quiet moments in life when you’re in between duties and looking around for something to do. Despite the words like “knife” and “throw” ... Read More

My boyfriend and I have our respective addictions – I have my daily desires for yoga, running, reading back articles of The New Yorker, eating peanut butter on celery and drawing comics of an inconsequential nature, while he enjoys swinging clubs at the driving range, playing guitar, and listening to The Mother Hips. But, our ... Read More

Diet book are always big sellers. French Women Don’t Get Fat, The Okinawa Diet, The China Study, Dr. Atkin’s New Diet Revolution, and The Best Life Diet are but a few of the the most notable diet books from the last decade, each one acclaimed in its own right, each one later lambasted, and each ...

I love meaningless games. I had my tea this morning, black tea, with milk and honey – the only way to drink tea – walked the dog, had a hearty breakfast of homemade buckwheat granola and almond milk, a handful of kale chips from the night before, and my daily vitamin D and fish oil, ... Read More
Ascent (0)
4/13/10 •
It took me ages to figure out Ascent, a new game by SpareTime Apps that will certainly fill up whatever spare time you have – and, as in my case, start to invade your work time as well. It’s a brilliantly conceived game, once you over come the head-scratching beginning, and now that I’ve become ... Read More

Scrabble is my reliable stand-by for word games, but every now and then I want something a little different. It’s true, it’s hard to beat Scrabble, Boggle, and Bookworm, even Bananagrams (my new favorite) for their insane levels of unceasing fun, but when it comes to the iPhone, there are so many games in general, ...

There haven’t been too many apps lately that have caught my eye. There are so many apps out there already, plus new ones being made for the iPad, not to mention the Android system of apps – it’s simply overwhelming. And, half of those apps – hell, three quarters – are pretty lackluster, or just ... Read More

*Lets out primal scream* GGRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWRRRRRR!!! Okay, maybe that’s more of a animal roar, equivalent to me morphing into some hairy creature, with large, glistening fangs, and tearing off my shirt to make way for my expanding, beastly chest. Why the screaming? The panting and pounding of the chest, the wrath? Fly-Flap, a new game by ... Read More
