Upcoming 2016 Games

Some of you may know that I’ve always been an avid gamer. I play almost any roleplaying game that comes out for the PC. This past year I have played several games like Fallout 4 and Game of Thrones. I really enjoy using my computer to game because I don’t have to deal with the ever upgrading consoles like PlayStation or Xbox. It’s easier to replace items like RAM and video…

iTeacherBook Review

It wasn’t too long ago that I considered becoming an English teacher. After being in school for two semesters, and getting used to the rituals of homework, lectures, and projects, I began to wonder what it would be like to actually have to plan and organize all of the things that my professors did every day. It soon came to pass that I also made friends with a graduate student…

Kard Combat: How to turn Magic: The Gathering Into Mortal Kombat (iOS)

Taking a cue from Activision’s popular Mortal Kombat series, HotHead Games has released their effort in the virtual CCG arena entitled Kard Combat. At first blush this just sounds like a vain attempt at stealing some thunder from Mortal Kombat, but I assure you it’s slightly more cheesy than that.

RapidWeaver: The Definitive Mac Website Building App

It’s been fifteen or more years since the first time I tried to build a website. Back then, there was only three ways to make your website; Learn HTML, pay someone to do it, or to use a tool provided by a web hosting site like Angel-fire or Homestead. The last of those options would work, but it wasn’t always secure, options were limited, and themes were either pitifully slim,…

A Conversation With Patrick Rothfuss

It was a little over a year ago when I first picked up a copy of Pat’s book, ‘Name of the Wind,’ the first book of his fantasy trilogy. At first, I was reluctant to give a new author a chance. I had been a long time fan of a number of writers, and had a pile of their works collecting dust on shelves, or hidden in bins. A new…

Ever wanted to take notes on top of power point, I mean hand written notes? Ever wanted to draw on your Mac to help someone with a tutorial? I have too! Luckily for the both of us, there is such a thing as DeskScribble. This App does exactly like you would imagine after hearing it’s name, it allows you to scribble all over your desktop. Not only your desktop though;…

Let Your Emails Fly With Sparrow

It has been said, time and again, that Mac’s “are the computers for the rest of us.” And while this is a true statement, there are a few select things about OSX that could use some updating. It is also true that OSX is about to get a new update this summer, Lion (for those keeping track), and with said update some of the basic Apps will be re-imagined; the…

SideFolders; or How To Do Things On The Sly (Mac)

Ever since the Apple made the Mac AppStore, I have made it a habit to go trolling through the different lists to find Apps that would make my Mac-loving-readers lives a little easier. On one such adventure, trudging through the endless deluge of crapware, I discovered a few gems. Among the list was the App; SideFolders. Said App is a wonderful way to gain access to commonly used folders and…
