    Little Pim Word Bag (0)

    3/05/10 •

    People in this country tend to view bilingualism with an air of impressiveness, that it’s a rare skill few possess. They often reply, when asked if they speak another language, with astonishing sincerity coupled with a step back, “Oh god no, I don’t speak a word of Spanish.” There are many people who point to ...

    If there’s anything I’ve learned about D TechnoLabs in the past two weeks is they like their apps sparsely decorated. And by spare, I mean barren. With ASL – American Sign Language, and iBaby Care, D TechnoLabs has established their penchant for a stripped-down, bare-bones app that manages to be simple without being streamlined. Lacking any ...

    Pocket Story – The Boy Giant (1)

    3/01/10 •

    Starting off Kids Week we have a beautifully illustrated storybook app by the name of The Boy Giant by Wotsamaflip, an original tale written by Allan Plenderleith, who happens to be one of the UK’s top screenwriters for children. As noted from earlier reviews, I do favor the storybook app quite a bit -books are ... Read More

    Babies. Whenever I see babies, or hear about babies, or even just think of babies, I can’t help but feel a tiny shiver up my spine, kind of like anxiety, but more like indigestion. I know absolutely nothing about babies. Okay, a slight exaggeration – I know next to nothing about babies, and that’s a ... Read More

    Star Walk (0)

    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

    Sports Illustrated Swimsuit 2010 (0)

    2/24/10 •

    In light of the recent controversy over the loss of certain scintillating, titillating apps in the iTunes app store, we rejoice over our continued access to the annual Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition on the iPhone. It may seem odd that the Swimsuit edition is still available, given the picketing outrage of many a feminist, but ... Read More

    Playman Track & Field (1)

    2/24/10 •

    In the spirit of the recently ongoing Olympics, here’s a cute game called Track & Field that will put you in the game, when you can’t partake in the sports, yourself. I like running as much as the next self-professed runner, but I will never be referred to as an Olympian – not in this ... Read More

    Love Taps (3)

    2/22/10 •

    Here’s a scenario: say I go to a bar, a nice swanky one, and I meet a guy who I dance the night away with. Things go well, we share a few laughs, a few intimacies, and after we part ways to our respective abodes, I decide I’d like to see him again, and maybe, ... Read More

    2/12/10 •

    If there’s one thing true about restaurants everywhere it’s that dining out sure isn’t cheap. Having someone else make a meal for you, in a pleasant environment, and then tipping waiters who service you just lends itself to using more money than had you done all the work yourself at home. Of course, we dine ... Read More

    ASL – American Sign Language (0)

    2/12/10 •

    When I first looked at the ASL – American Sign Language iPhone app by D TechnoLabs, I stopped short of myself, with astonishment, and realized that I don’t know a single deaf person. We’ve all read the story of Helen Keller, a woman unfortunately stricken with both blindness and deafness, but in terms of any ... Read More
