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
Rubber Knife Throw (0)
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

Here’s a short, rhyming story about me: There once was a girl named Jackie, who watered her plants til they were tacky. She stayed up all night, feeling something wasn’t right, and thought to herself, “I wonder if they get too much light?” It wasn’t very clear, no, not at all, why her plants shed ... 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, ...

*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
Foodictionary :: International Food & Beverage Translator (0)
4/05/10 •
This app by Magenta Itd immediately piqued my curiosity. Why? Because it’s a food app. You could say it tantalized my tastebuds, involuntarily made me salivate, that I caught a whiff of interest from its delicious title, Foodictionary. A dictionary on food – could it possibly get any better? Before even opening the app I ... Read More
Duck in the Truck iPhone Picturebook (0)
4/02/10 •
I think reading is tantamount to many good things in life, not just knowledge and literacy, and it has, for quite awhile now, unfortunately been backsliding in favor of more immediate gratifications, like computer games, tv shows, sports, simply hanging out with friends. All of these are good and well, but it always strikes me ... Read More
Mansion Expansion (0)
4/02/10 •
A very quirky and, I have to say, very original game, Mansion Expansion achieves an almost impossible task: it makes real estate look fun. When I think of real estate, I think of people figuring out down payments, and leases, and mortgages, potentially second mortgages, and even foreclosures, given the recent times. Being a realtor ...
