Sunday, January 24th, 2010

Personally I rarely take pictures of myself, but the few times that I have felt the need to snap a picture of myself and one of my kids I have been able to do so with relative success. Sure, the images may not have been perfect, but that was ok, at least for me. That said,

Orbital Game Review: Awesome Game Play and Stunning Graphics

Saturday, January 23rd, 2010

Very rarely do I find a game that scores a perfect 10 out of 10. I usually manage to find some flaw in any game or app I review. Which is why I am totally shocked to be writing about a game I would call perfect. A game so addicting, so good looking, so amazing

From time to time I sit and waste some time playing games on my iPhone, but given that I am far from a gamer the games I play are simple. I prefer the ones that you can pick up and put down with ease such as Bejewled, Peggle, TapTap, LED Football and Flight Control. I

Remember the recent story about how the factory workers were striking and rioting over not being paid their expected year end bonus? Well, it seems that the mess has come to a close. And in the end it seems that this has had a good outcome for both the workers and potential iPhone buyers. According
