Notes
How do I know it’s credible? Many moons ago I wrote about how to tell if a health website is credible. There is so much information floating around on the Internet that it’s difficult to tell whether non-peer reviewed medical information is accurate at all. Ju...
No wheels on the bus? If you ever rode a school bus during your school days like I did, I’m sure you have some fond memories…and some horror stories too. No air conditioning, that musty smell, three kids to a seat. Little Johnny sneezing on your homework. Ah, those were the days. We...
It’s not easy being a green check mark. The green check mark has become a known symbol for healthy food items, “Smart Choices” to be exact. Unfortunately state and federal authorities disagree and feel the Smart Choices program should be suspended. Many...
Vampires Diaries, America’s Next Top Model, and Playnormous! For those of you that didn’t catch the excitement on the CW last night, you must have missed Playnormous too! Ok...

Stay connected…or get connected. I first started receiving Casual Connect Magazine about two years ago. They released a market report in 2007 which just blew me away, basically summarizing everything I needed to know as a newbie in the video games industry. ...
Pile high the pyramid. Several months ago we gave you a sneak peek of our next health game: Pyramid Pile Up. Well that day is almost here! Gameplay is great, character animation is ready, music is in place and sound effects are up to speed. It’s all coming together. ...
It’s okay…we’re family. Go to your favorite Mexican restaurant and this myth is sure to come up. You dip your chip in the salsa, but the tortilla chip is too big to get that yummy dip all over it. So you take a bite. Not wanting to waste the rest of your [...]
