12/10/09 •
When you live in California, chiefly in the Southern areas and even in the golden, rolling hills of the Bay Area, you live with the threat of wildfires in the summer. Usually, they’re started by men, idiots who smoke in fields or who illegally camp in fields and neglect to cover their fire pits properly. ... Read More
Alien Taxi (1)
12/03/09 •
In this fun game by IT Traunau, you play an unknown, nondescript taxi driver who totes around alien passengers to their various destinations. Silly, right? Well, the best games usually are. Your taxi isn’t so much a human taxi as it is, well, an alien one. Not that I’m referring to those cliche, saucer-shaped UFOs, ... Read More

12/01/09 •
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
Surviving High School (0)
11/23/09 •
It’s the first day of school and you’re a new student, freshly transferred and awaiting peer approval. Hmm, sounds like me in High School. With its relatable moniker, Surviving High School is an appealing game for tweens, teens, and young adults alike. A pivotal milestone in anyone’s life, High School is more easily romanticized with ... Read More

11/17/09 •
Scene: Siskiyou Wilderness – Night A somber fog hushes the woods. A fog so thick it’s palpable, able to be indented, as it undulates, clinging to the craggy faces of rocky outcrops and the splintered shell of an antique, befallen stump. A deer steps out from the thicket, dew cascading from her mange-bitten fur, her ... Read More
Balloonimals (1)
11/13/09 •
In carrying with the kids app theme for today, I’ve decided to finally review Balloonimals. I love this app. It’s amazing. Whenever I show off the iPhone’s capabilities to those unfamiliar (e.g. my mom), I tend to whip out Balloonimals because it’s quick, graphically flashy, and interactively beautiful. It’s the stuff that makes you weep ... Read More
Neon Blast (1)
11/11/09 •
Hip music. God, I love hip music. Neon Blast is an arcade style, sideways scrolling game that would feel right at home in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off or some 80′s movie with a kid – in bright shirt with tacky, geometric designs, no doubt – tapping away ferociously on big, cumbersome controllers, with crudely lined ...

AstroSwami Pro (4)
11/11/09 •
My boyfriend’s first impression of AstroSwami Pro was, “trippy.” I can’t think of a better word to describe this app. Horoscopes and Zodiacs, Astrology studies and websites vary far and wide, ranging in quality from pure silliness to the exceptionally serious. You’ll often find the silly, frivolous horoscopes on the back pages of Cosmopolitan and ... Read More

I woke up this morning to the soft pitter patter of long awaited rain and cloudy, overcast skies. The melodrama of the moment had me yawning exaggeratedly, arms outstretched, and then I shuffled my plaid, argyle socks to the kitchen where I began my morning routine of brewing a cup of tea, with milk and ...

Pair It! – Food and Wine Guide (1)
11/04/09 •
Some friends of mine from Canada joined me this past Halloween weekend for dinner and the odd round of conversation and amusing bouts of bickering. We had dinner at a family italian joint by the name of Franchino’s, where Franchino himself orates grandly from his thick, heavyset jowls and waves his hand to usher guests ... Read More
