Lost Little Zombie – iPhone Game Review

Little Lost Zombie is the type of game that will turn you into a zombie. That is not necessarily a bad thing. We all like to zone out from reality, and a game that is simple in approach but challenging is always a good way to spend those few minutes of our spare time.

Food Fight – iPhone Game Review

In its raw form Food Fight is a game that borrows many elements from the wildly popular Plants Vs. Zombies. Its gameplay is strikingly familiar to its competition, but if you are looking for a new series of characters and weaponry then this may appeal to you.

Genius Ring Presenter – Review

The Ring Presenter is a clever wireless, multi-function, five button mouse and laser pointer, all packaged into a small, light-weight, soft natural rubber finger ring. Powered by a thin, built-in Lithium-ion rechargeable battery, the 2.4 GHz wireless mouse has an operating range of more than thirty feet. There is even a built-in blue LED that flashes when the battery needs to be recharged. A three position slide switch on the side of the mouse controls the modes and power on/off.

Interesting, but Ultimately Flawed Audio Player – Review

iOS at the Macworld Expo

As said previously, I’m going all iOS this year. That means all audio, blogging, and video editing must be done strictly with the hardware and software only available through Apple’s iOS ecosystem and nothing else.

Take Control of Your iPad – Book Review

The book starts with an overview of iOS5, followed by a discussion of which iPad to buy, assuming you’re still in the market for one. Next is the basic and advanced setup of the iPad. I recommend reading to this point from the beginning; the rest of the book can be read straight through or in any order on an as needed basis.
