ABlacklist blocks unwanted calls and messages


Every now and then I get a call from my phone company (ironically) or my bank, where someone tries to sell me one of their new “amazing” products. I rarely receive other cold calls because I’m very careful with what companies I share my phone. But cold calling is a plague affecting...

Note Anytime, one note-taking app to rule them all


Memory is an important process in the life of modern humans as it helps us store and retrieve important information. For some it’s a process that works very well (you must have heard the saying “has the memory of an elephant”) and those are the fortunate people that are able to retrieve...

Alpha Bugs, draw the alphabet while squashing bugs


One of my son’s favorite games is Ant Smasher and it’s increasingly difficult for me to convince him into playing educational games. He just loves the sound those poor ants make when they’re being squished and my only worry is that it won’t become a habit in the real life (squishing...

Put your phone on Do Not Disturb mode with Silencify


“Silencio” screamed Imelda, Puss in Boots’ adoptive mother, and all the kids froze in silence. “Silencio” screamed my Spanish teacher not so long ago (actually longer than I’d like to admit) when a cell phone rang during the class, a time when it wasn’t...
