If you’ve been reading Kibbles and Bytes over the past few months, you might have noticed I’ve written more than once about power and electricity. A few weeks ago, I wrote about generating electricity and how watts work. In that article, I mentioned that I’ve experimented with thermoelectric electricity generation and I thought this week…

…OK, so that’s a little hokey. I’m of the belief that a few resolutions are a good thing, but that they shouldn’t be so grand that they’re wildly out-of-reach. For me, details always help, but the more detailed they are, the fewer I should commit to. Example: I will make the time to hike Camel’s…

I don’t think I really expected to enjoy Clumsy Ninja as much as I have. I’m not really into virtual being simulators, I’ve tried games like Nintendogs on the Nintendo DS, and I didn’t really understand the appeal. Clumsy Ninja really changed the way I thought about these types of games, and most importantly, I’m…

The holidays are a time for sending cards, right? I don’t receive many cards throughout the year, but December is a different story. The cards seem to roll in and my fridge becomes covered with my friends’ and family’s cute cards. These days, there are numerous online card sites for creating and ordering your own…

When I’m playing a game on my iPhone, there are times where I’m thinking, “you know what?” “actual buttons would make this game a lot easier to play”. I’m guessing I’m not alone, which is why Apple had built controller support into iOS 7. And wouldn’t you know it? the controllers are finally starting to…

The Bit.Trip series is a cult classic in the indie gaming scene. Mixing retro style graphics, with a chiptune soundtrack, and a brutal difficulty, it was the perfect mixture to create something that was unique and fun to play. The one game in the series that really stood out, was Bit.Trip Runner. In this game…

Limbo: perfect game for Halloween night (or any other night actually)! Limbo, by Playdead, is probably one of my favorite games of all time. When I heard that there was going to be a port for iOS, I was very excited, but at the same time a little nervous. It wasn’t the visual style, the…

Real time strategy games are known for their complex systems, and addictive gameplay. In some cases, this is mostly why some people stay away from them. It’s not that there’s a belief that they won’t have fun with the game. It’s that the learning curve is so steep, that it’s hard to really think about…

Apple has officially announced a special event that will be held next Tuesday, October 22. Rumors have been circulating that this event will most likely feature the 5th generation iPad, an iPad mini with Retina display, a Retina MacBook Pro with better battery life and hopefully, a ship date for the new Mac Pro. The…

I’ve worked here for over 5 years and the iPhone 5 was my first iPhone (I know). When I got my iPhone 5 the first two things I wanted was AppleCare+, I’ve broken the glass on my iPad 2 three times now, and a dock. I drove all the way to the Apple store in…
