IF … An Emotional-Intelligence Game for Kids on the iPad
IF… One of the most innovative games around! Right now, I’m so excited! I haven’t been this excited about a video game much less one for the iPad well, in forever?! This new, innovative, subscription-based iPad adventure game is geared toward children ages six (6) to 12. It’s from the founder of Electronic Arts (EA) and THE creative force behind EA Sports: Trip Hawkins (he was also one of the early executives at Apple/led Digital Chocolate to a massive amount of mobile downloads; he’s also won a plethora of awards AND he’s the first and only business executive named to the game industry Hall of Fame by the Academy of Interactive Arts…

Tech :: Gift Ideas for the Tech Dad
Some super cool gadgets for the men in our lives who have everything this Father’s Day (and beyond). That’s right mama’s, move over and get ready to let Dad/Brother/Father/Uncle [et al] become “King for the Day” where they can relax and have you wait on them hand and foot and even fan them while eating grapes (I jest; however, that sounds like a LOT of their days *lol*)! Seriously though, here’s some little sumtin’s that may be nifty enough to give the man/men in your life who say they have everything they need (or seriously DO have everything) that you wouldn’t find at your local square box store. …

IT’S ALL ABOUT TABLETS … kiddie size no fries
Lately it seems there each day a new tablet is introduced when you were promised yesterday the one you purchased was the “latest and greatest”. To your horror a lot of you get home and realized that just because that cute little green-bot is on the box does not mean you have access to the great and note-worthy Google play market – nope, it just means that the tablet you purchased runs on an Android OS (albeit there are so many they too change daily that it’s even hard to keep up with those!). So you either took it back or well, can you say brick/door stop etc.…

Review: Top iPad Cases
When I first found out that I had won an iPad 2 for my son through A4cwsn my excitement turned to panic in a matter of hours. I went from joy and elation to the inevitable “oh my gawd what if he drops it” to “what if he throws it”. I ended up making a list of ten cases that were noted as ‘the best’ and eventually after reviews and watching youtube video after video I narrowed it down to five. From five to three. From three to the top two until finally I settled on “the one”. Since that time more cases have come out and we’ve seen the iPad…

TRICK OR TRACK! Fun Apps and Tracking Apps
It’s almost that time of year again. The time when your inner child emerges and you get giggly with anticipation. Who doesn’t want to dress up (I’m not talking about all of you out there that have read “50 Shades of Grey” and you’re well…we’ll not get into “that” *lol* totally different post). From “zombies” and “vampires” to “zombies” yes, I keep coming back to “zombies”. Fascination with “Zombies” is at an all-time high! I’m not afraid to admit that out of all the things to be scared of “zombies” tops my list. It’s not funny. I seriously have a phobia of this. I even looked it up and the…
