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 ...

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

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

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

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

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.

Awhile back we reviewed an excellent navigational and local-discovery app by the name of SOHOinmypocket by AppFury.

I Need A Muse (5)

Here’s an interesting app I came across recently, one that provides a service I have yet to find elsewhere in the App Store: I Need A Muse. The developer, Gautch, had the objective in mind to incite creativity for the writer, to spur his imagination when it came to creating characters. The app covers a ... Read More

Sometimes, the sheer number of iPhone apps floating around in iTunes isn’t just mind-boggling, it’s overwhelming. Which apps do you choose? Is this app better than this one? What does this app offer that the other does not? There are usually dozens, if not hundreds of apps that claim to do the same thing, so ... Read More
