Killbo

I just love a good word game.  So much so that I will effortlessly bypass an adventure, puzzle, or board game app that has great graphics and scores of 5 star ratings in favor of a word game that I believe to be original and offers a good challenge.  And if that word game has an online multiplayer element, then so much the better. John Daniel Bagwell’s first foray into the world of app creation, Killbo, was a word game that took some time for me to warm up to.  Its premise is straightforward: There are 9 tiles that appear in the center of the screen and each tile- generally- has a letter written on it.  Surrounding the center tiles are 9 outer tiles, also- generally- with letters written on them.  The objective of the game is to form words using available tiles.  Each time a letter from a center tile is chosen, the letter on the outer tile closest to the chosen tile moves into its place.  For every word formed, points are awarded.  Longer words translate into more points and it is the player’s task to rack up as high a score as possible

NewsAlert

  I don’t consider myself a newshound, but I do like to be in the know.  I keep an eye on Wiki trends, Twitter trends and get weather and breaking news updates by SMS.    Anytime a story about the iPhone or BlackBerry comes out, I want to know.  Plus, there are artists, authors, and actors I’m a little ashamed to say I know more about than I probably should.  RSS feeds are a good way to stay on top of those tidbits and I have three such apps that I rotate among depending on the features included in their latest updates.  But as good as RSS is, it’s a pain to have to mine through 1000+ articles to find that small handful of gems worth my time to read.   That’s where NewsAlert can be a handy app to have

Flash of Genius: SAT Vocab

As surely as fall gives way to winter and winter gives way to spring, spring gives way to standardized tests, whether placement or college entry.  One of the biggest, most important standardized tests of all is the Scholastic Aptitude Test, or SAT, with its math, critical reading, and writing sections.  I always felt that if you knew math and were good at it, the chances were fairly good you could work your way from problem to a reasonable estimation of the correct solution.  Or at least enough to where the odds of guessing the right answer were significantly higher. The verbal section- as it was known back in my day- was a bit trickier, though.  Especially analogies and vocabulary.  Either you knew the meaning of the word or you didn’t and no amount of staring at it would change that painful fact.  I remember studying vocabulary words as though my life depended on it because I was so terrified I was going to encounter a word I’d never seen or even heard of before.  And in spite of all my studying, I did
