HeartMath Inner Balance Lightning Sensor – Review

Apple, Apps, iOS, iPad, iPad mini, iPhone, iPod Touch, Review 0

I’m hardly the kind of fellow who could be accused of being a new-age sensitive guy. I regularly scoff at anything healthy at the grocery store, looking instead for convenient and comfortable food. I even have a paperweight with an old Mark Twain quote on exercise: Whenever I get the urge, I lay down until it passes. And, Im in the first paragraph and already, Im digressing

Balanced - Get More Out of Life

Balanced – Get More Out of Life – Review

iOS, Review 0

For the last few weeks, I’ve been playing with a new iOS app called Balanced – Get more out of life. Balanced is good for reminding you to perform recurring tasks, but it is not a traditional “todo” list. You would not, for instance, put a reminder to “buy milk,” or do something that is time-sensitive into Balanced – it’s for recurring tasks that you want to accomplish. Balanced seeks to help you keep your life in balance, and rewards you for doing so with some motivational feedback.

Features, iOS, iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, Review 0

As an amateur astronomer and a volunteer telescope operator at the Flandrau Science Center observatory, I enjoy sharing the night sky with the public. My primary objective, when inviting the public to look through the telescope, is to encourage them to enjoy viewing the heavens and to ask questions. I recognize that not everyone wants to be an astronomer and I certainly understand the magnitude of what is required to pursue a career in this profession.
