It seems that just about everything in life that used to be done with paper has been “digitized” into an app by now. Instead of paper maps we use Google Maps or Apple Maps. Instead of printed airline tickets we have e-tickets. Instead of printed books we have e-books. But when we play the Lotto, […]

September 3rd, 2015 · 2 Comments · Disaster Relief

The image you see to your left is the Arabic character ن, or “Nūn”. Normally it’d be a beautiful character in a beautiful alphabet, but its meaning has been perhaps forever tarnished by the way it’s been used in the wars of the Middle East.  The character stands for “Nasara” or “Nazarenes”, a pejorative word used […]

Wonderbag – Works like a Crock Pot with no Electricity!

February 15th, 2015 · No Comments · Amazon, Developing Areas
