They say that a picture is worth a thousand words. It’s also worth a thousand thoughts, emotions, and memories. Photography is a stellar way to capture precious moments, and it also makes a stellar gift to family and friends...
People love to play old arcade and Atari games on their iPhones. And from what I’ve seen on the App Store, the second-most popular retro game after Tetris is Breakout. There are a ton of Breakout-style, brick-breaking games ...
At every office job I’ve ever had, communications failures were to blame for the biggest problems between the staff (or between staff and their clients.) People forget how hard it is to communicate, to express oneself clearl...
I’m lucky enough to live in a part of the world where I can see the stars at night, every night. But every once in a while, I get to visit parts of the country where the view is even better: more clear, more stunning, and le...
Swiper, no swiping! If you’re a parent, or the eldest child of a big family, there’s a good chance you’ve been exposed to that most odious to children’s TV show characters, Swiper. The “villain”...

I may be dating myself here, but I was totally one of those kids who wrote in 1337-speak all the time in high school. I blame it on Largo from the webcomic Megatokyo. Do people even speak 1337 anymore? The “leet-speak”...
One thing the native Apple app library lacks is a one-size-fits-all document viewer, something that lets you access a bunch of different document types in a single app. It can be frustrating to have to keep switching between apps ...
I love the movies of the Coen brothers. Fargo, Lebowski, O Brother Where Art Thou?, and No Country for Old Men: it’s all good. The Coen brothers sprang to mind today because of the app I’m reviewing. When I started pla...
