Top 5 Apps for all the Kiddies

                   Right, so we all know small kids nowadays rather use iPad as their learning resource rather than book since iPad or iPhone or any electronic gadgets are so bright and able to create more colorful illustration art than books could do and also with the interactive screen for kids in learning. So here are the top 5 apps for kids! But be warned too much TV or any gadgets equal bad eyes sight, sure kids eyes are at the stages of development at that time but remember kids eyes are weaker than adult and instead of improving it could turn to word damaging. Just saying. Bring on the list!

                   1. Alphabet Animals: (for Age: 3-8) A Slide and Seek: is really the same as children book but each letters could turned to pictures of cartoon-like animals in each alphabets. Also with if the tap from their fingers you can hear each animals' names.

                    2. Mask Jumble Animal: (for Age: 4-8) this is basically a program that you could edit animal masks using the picture of your face properly take by your own iPad or iPhone, some of the masks are decoration for your nose, eyes and mouths. So depend on your creativity to make yourself look cute or just plain creepy.

                     3. Play 123: (for Ages: 2 and Up) it is an apps that contained 10 mini games (sort of like WarioWare if you asked me) but they are easy and suit able for children which encourage them do experience the discovery to figure out things in the games.

                      4. More Trucks: (for Age: 3-7) well this look like one of the truck games in Kongregate but in a more kiddies style with interactive, judging by the picture you could collect coins and customize your track like turn it into monster  trucks, fire trucks and many another kinds! Well that will depend on how many coins you been collect.

                      5. PlayART: (Not really for kiddies since the menu is abit hard to learn for kids) Now this one catch my attention the most (since I am sort of an artist person). They said to have about 100  visual elements (like: pointillism, paper art, oil printing texture and many other elements) from famous printers Van Gogh, Cezanne and many other printers. Feel free to edited any artwork or just created your own in favorite section, when you done save and view your artworks at My Museum.

                     To me I think that More Trucks will be the popular choice for the kids which I will have to admit that it look interest (maybe I should tell that to my nephew about that), since its style is nearly the same as normal game and it is addicting. I also like PlayART as I mentioned earlier, I will get it (if I have iPad of course). Well the least favorite ones (at least for me) would be Mask Jumble Animal, the preview picture is creepy dude! I will post picture down there. But hey that's my thoughts, what is your favorite? Feel free to use this blog as an advice if you planning to get one. 

Mask Jumble Animals (Creepy!)

More Trucks(Remind me of one game in Kongregate)

PlayART (Hm, Interesting.)

Some Facts About Google Glasses

                   Alright biggest question of them all, what in the name of Arceus is the Google Glasses? Well basically the Google Glasses is upcoming produce from Google it suppose to be a computer in the glasses version which is obvious that it will be on our head, also there is a camera. So what is the purpose of this thing? Well...everywhere you go, everything you see or heard will be recorded by that camera, and from what I heard there is a mini heads-up display (HUD) just like mini map in video game (Being honest here I don't think that it is the same kind of HUD, but if it is then we would have Super Mario Bros. Map in our glasses system). I sort of want to see the HUD now, fancy point there.

                  There was also a cute(silly) comic about this new upcoming Google produce made by The Joy of Tech if you want to see the comic click here. The comic pretty much make the situation about what will happen when we come face to face with the guy who wear Google Glasses. But one thing is that they set this babe price to be abit in a heavy price, some believe to be between $1000 to $1500 (hm pretty expensive specially in my country) but then again there are little technology set in cheap price, take the risk to try it if you dare. However take this as an advice from me Google = Internet and as mentioned in first paragraph everything in your surrounding are record by the camera on your head all the time, well depend if they have On/Off switch. So pretty much if you are not careful enough then everyone in the wrold could see your every moment.

                    And finally in my thought? Well I will admit that this to me really look interesting but I am sure that I won't buy it since this year I still decided whether if to buy 3DS or Iphone first. (3DS first of course...) So this speical glasses is off my list but I alway wanted to see mini heads-up display in real life, just like in Metroid game speically the Wii version. However I do want the game programmers to use this as an example for the future interactive gaming.

Hm, look pretty cool here.

Nah, Not that cool in this version.

Code or Die: What is that?

                               Okay so this article is mainly about the "Code or Die: The Future of Work" (Nice name there.) so basically it is for people who can't get a job but you will ended up by create your own by sign up for a programming course.In my country programming may not be a very popular choice but don't understatement it because you are create something that is for the people in new age, and you might end up creating something useful. Games and Apps are included.

1. Coding Is Not Magic (Not Really): Those who are programmer you may not realized that your little skill of magic might be able to create something for the future. Programmer do create anything and I know that everyone of us like to play game on iPhone and computer, or chatting with your friend or simply just watching YouTube. Believe it or not but behind every sites that we normally use, there are a bunch of mumbo jumbo codes that only programmers could fully understand it. Well to us normal people it seem like magic top us!

2. It Take Much More Than That: There are some people who look coding as a way of solving problem and look for the creative solution or way out, like fixing bugs is one of the most useful thing in game company (Like: OGPlanet LaTale Woo!). I know programming is hard and we might become a nerd from all from working (beside gaming...)

3. Coding Might Be Essential To Creating Your Own Job:Alright so this course actually encourage the individuals people to create something of their own by their own freedom ideas. This sounded good but not everyone have to create their own company (not)

                 So in conclusion you don't need pay your money and you can choose what kind of your own website, application or service you want. But here is the word, Learning to code won't get you the better ideas but it will help write thing to order and formally. Learning to coding is not magic but also up to your reading and writing ability themselves. From all of that, what is truly important is the ideas behind it.

Alway Being forgotful when trying to remember passwords while buying things?


Are you the person who alway having problem like trying to remember a long password when buying something? Specially credit card  like PayPal and others, you need a very long password for making sure that nobody could use your money without knowing for safely first. Well...maybe this could help you people who have to remember many different passwords in online.

Well the best password in the entire world would be like 'Az1f6&jWz' but believe me you will never to be able to remember it unless it had a meaning. So the ideas of solution for the ending annoying remembering LONG passwords would be something like voice recognition, key or finger print analysis. Hey that sound like a good idea but is it possible? PayPal is one of the people who also lead this new changing revolution, they said that they are using our fingerprint as password from the scanner on mobile phones. (Only phone with touch screen I suppose.)

However not only Paypal was willing to make a change, there is an app that called "Nina" which allow you to add your personal speech as another way of password in many others smartphone. So yep when you need to pay your bill Nina will help identified the sound of your voice. This is quite a good change really but let hope that in the future those new ideas would work smoothly and perfectly.

I personal myself would not be 100 percent trusting on those new ideas, don't know if it is only me but I am quite a paranoid personal specially with my game account so having a difficult password that could make you and others confused is not such a bad thing after all.
