Gyro13 - Steam Copter Arcade HD for iPad

While there is an absorbent amount of "As Seen On TV" health and exercise widgets and gadgets, one look on the app store and one would notice that the fitness industry has taken over there as well.

Doodle Rams is Multiplayer King of the Mountain

doodle rams for iPhone

Some of my fondest childhood memories are centered around playing King of the Mountain, hill, snow mound and various other locations I was trying to conquer.

Bizzy is Perfect Mix of Yelp and Foursquare

Bizzy iPhone

I'm a big fan of Foursquare and while I like leaving "tips" at the places I check-in at and earning badges such as "I'm on a boat", I've always wanted more integration of a rating system for the places I've explored kind of like Yelp offers. That's why I was pleasantly surprised to find Bizzy, a [...]

For some reason it took my palette quite a long time to appreciate wine. A friend suggested I start with the sweeter whites and work my way up. I never looked back and soon discovered that my favorite is Pinot Noir. And even though I enjoy wine, I don't know much about them and when [...]
