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 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

Short Word Maker 1.0 (1)
3/15/10 •
Short Word Maker 1.0 has an interesting premise: Designed and programmed by one Kevin Neelands, it has the objective, in short, of expanding a new reader’s vocabulary. Meant to be used in tandem with a more experienced reader, the app displays three-letter words only, with definitions for each, for the user to learn and eventually ... Read More
ABC Shakedown Plus (0)
3/05/10 •
On Tuesday, I wrote a review of ABC Shakedown, a flashcard alphabet app that kids could use to work on their pronunciation skills, language skills, and word-object agreement. I recently became aware of another app by I-itch, called ABC Shakedown Plus, that acts as an extended version of the former – extended not only in ... Read More

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 ...

Awhile back I wrote a review on Peekaboo Barn, exclaiming how cute and clever it was, piquing a child’s imagination to see what was behind those barn doors, making whinnying noises, or cock-a-doodle-doos. I enjoyed the app so immensely I included it in the article 6 Apps That Make Mom’s Life Easier, because the app ... Read More
ABC Shakedown (1)

Yesterday, we checked out Pocket Story – The Boy Giant and nurtured our burgeoning skill at reading. But, before we can actually read, we need to learn that cornerstone of language, itself: the alphabet. Before learning to use a language, you must first learn its alphabet, which are the building blocks not only of speech, ... 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

Getting down to the nitty gritty, laying it bare, showcasing the best and most interesting for our readers, so they don’t have to plow through deep space just to find a decent app. Really, researching applications is tedious, but great. But, let’s not ... Read More
