My Valentines Day Gift: Sims Life Stories

My hubby picked me up a copy of Sims Life Stories for Valentines day, and I must admit I've really enjoying my new little Sims. As a long-time player of Sims and Sims 2 (I have had ALL the expansion packs), I'm still happy with this "toned down" version of the game. Why?

Open Source Education: Wave of the Future? Hope So!

Sims Launches New Mobile Friendly Line of Games

EA Games has just announced a new mobile-friendly game, based on the famous Sims2 model. The company has announced three games, marketed under the umbrella of Sims Life Stories.

What’s on My Tablet PC: The Essential Programs

I just finished the fairly daunting task of rebuilding my Tablet PC.

When I bought it, I spent months doing what I do... pushing the limits and trying out everything. Now, I needed to fix the damage done by installing and uninstalling a plethora of programs -- I needed to regen the system for the new year.

I thought that some other new Tablet PC owners -- or those contemplating owning a tablet -- may be interested in what I have running on mine and what I consider essential.
