Once in space, the human said: “We will colonize you, Universe!”
“Oh, really?” answered the Universe, and threw a flaming fireball towards the human!
And the Universe, who enjoys explosions, looked for more humans…
and found many.
Ohhhhh scary. Haha this is actually a pretty fun game. Given, it’s very simple. The whole point: throw flaming asteroids at humans and destroy their ships as much as possible.
Okay, I’m cool with that. I also really like how at the beginning of a new level, they give the level a name, and the name gives you a hint as to how you need to throw [ ... ]

Now unless you’ve been living under a rock you’ve seen the mass amount of rumors this year of the Verizon Iphone/IPad. So I’d figure to write an article about the controversy and show you the facts and rumors…
Ok, This is going to cover two of the most significant articles based on the mass amount of articles and overall talk of the Verizon Iphone/Ipad. So I’ll be covering this in two sections based on each rumor.
“I would say within the next year, yes.” -Verizon Tech Support
That’s right, you saw it, and its no joke either. The [ ... ]
Not to mention it saves trees, right?
I’ve been using Flashcards Deluxe on my iPod touch since last year, and I like it even more on my iPad!
Of course, if I were to describe it here in my own words, this could take forever, because it has so many great features. So I’ll just give you the list from the app page:
• Two smart study modes that automatically focus more on the cards you miss: Leitner and a more advanced Spaced Repetition mode (similar to SuperMemo or Anki)
• Quizlet.com integration – Browse and download any of their 2 million+ flashcard [ ... ]

Using the iPad just got funnier. I love this video.

I like Legos and the iPad. This man is very good at it and he has a magazine about Legos.
This info below my typing now is from a website called
PC World so click that link to see it or read the stuff below:

Joe Meno is the owner of
BrickJournal, a magazine dedicated to everybody’s favorite building toy: Lego bricks. Meno tells PCWorld that he was impressed by the
presentation of the iPad, and is excited about its potential to change the print media landscape. He described the creation process [ ... ]
Myspace Music Romeo. This is a really cool app. Have any of you ever heard of Pandora Radio? Of course you have, who hasn’t? It’s that really cool app/website where you can type in an artist or song and have it play similar songs that you will probably like.
Well this is like Pandora Radio for Music Videos. The only big difference is that instead of choosing a song or artist, you choose your mood. You could be happy, partying, dancing, studying, whatever. It has music videos for you!
Despite the name (“Myspace” Music Romeo) you don’t have to have [ ... ]

One of the first apps I looked for when I got my iPad was facebook. And when I found out that there were only two actual facebook apps (that I could find-correct me if I’m wrong!) that cost $3.99 and $4.99 I was very mad, to say the least.
I considered buying them at first, but I figured that I would wait, you know? And as I started using my iPad more and more, I realized why nobody had made a free Facebook app:
You can go on the internet with a big screen on the iPad.
Duh.
I felt so stereotypically blonde [ ... ]

Frame Up is a free photo app. It’s really neat, I like it. I think that most of the time, people use it for actual serious designing of rooms, but I like to just have fun with it.
I’m really into photography and these are some of my favorite pictures I’ve taken arranged on Frame Up:
Yeah. It’s pretty cool. You can change the background to yellow, green, or beige with the lights. Or you can change it to blue, green, grey, or red just plain. Or you can change it to dark red with a light red border.
When you [ ... ]

Why, oh why do I always make everything nerdy, even when it doesn’t need to be?? Maybe you don’t understand the nerdiness. Maybe that’s a good thing…
No, seriously though. This game is really fun.
It’s called
Virion and it’s only $2.99 in the app store. The point of the game is that there is a giant virus infecting someone’s brain. There are six main levels with fourteen levels within each one. Each sub-level is shown by someone who has been infected, and once they are cured, they are happy again!
Each infected person’s brain has around nine areas [ ... ]
Shelf Unbound, the literary magazine I am the kid contributor for, is printing releasing their digital magazine TODAY!
The cool thing about the iPad is that a lot of magazines are now on the iPad. So, instead of going to the bookstore and buying a copy (gas, time, wasting paper) you can download an issue RIGHT NOW and ta-da!~ presto: you can start reading.
I really want to read about the creepy doll in the photo above. Really.
Yeah, I’m not really into skateboarding, but the photos are neat. I do like the ice cream photo and story (it it [ ... ]
When you have spent money on an iPad, then the case… and now you want a stand but have no more MOULA you can DIY (do it yourself) and make a stand with Legos.
Legos are good.
So, this guy Jeff said 50 million iPads will sell a year.
Yeah, 50 million sounds like Jeff Matthews (a guy at RAM partners) thinks Apple is trying to make everything seem amazing.
I mean, 50 million is really a lot. Too much.
But, then I looked at how many iPads are selling and thought about it.
Apple sold
1 million units really fast when it came out. Then it hit the
3 million sales just as fast.
right this minute 4 million iPads have sold.
Apple thinks 12 million are gonna sell by the end of this year (hello Christmas [ ... ]

I love oxymorons. Maybe that’s a little nerdy, but I think they’re really entertaining. Anyone not know what an oxymoron is? (no it doesn’t mean stupid) It’s generally a two-word phrase, and the two words contradict each other. For example: silent scream, act naturally, alone together, and one of my favorites: Microsoft Works. Ahaha. Get the idea now?
Well, then how is this game an oxymoron? It’s a relaxing puzzle game. You know, usually puzzle games make me really anxious because they’re either timed, or I get frustrated that I can’t solve it (AH, nerd again!!! x.x). But [ ... ]
