2/25/10 •
Star Walk is, upon first observation, inscrutable, limitless and unfathomable. Do not misinterpret – I say this with the utmost praise. The lengths to which this app goes to provide you with what I can only surmise as your own, personal observatory, is as deep as space, itself, and nearly as cryptic. With Star Walk, ... Read More

Toy Kit (4)

Before I even looked at Toy Kit: Helper Vehicles by Integral, the name reminded me of children and puzzles, legos even, or building blocks.

I was born in 1984, and by that time Sesame Street was a household name, with names like Big Bird, Elmo, Bert and Ernie cherished by young minds across the country. When reading about the show currently, I was surprised and intrigued to read that Sesame Street in Africa is introducing an HIV-muppet by the ... Read More
