The lovely Alison knows how much I love word puzzles, and she has been teasing me with the idea that something was coming from them soon that would be right up my alley, and now here it is: Astraware’s new brain-teasing word game Bubble Babble.

Challenge - create a set number of words against the clock,
Target - reconstruct the separated word from the letter bubbles,
Mystery - try different permutations of letters to find the hidden word,
Freeplay - just enjoy making words to boost your points score.

This game is available for the Palm OS, Pocket PC, and Smartphones; I’ve just loaded it to my MWg Zinc II, and I’ll give it a try later today. You can give it a try, too - just hit the Astraware site and download the trial.

No, I did not spell that wrong.

Many women swap their gear between bags quite often, and one of the problems with doing so is that it can be hard to make sure that you have actually transferred everything you’ll need from the first bag to the second.

Tintemar has created a product that holds the basics in place, inside their special compartmentalized bag which can be slipped into other bags or even carried on its own. Say hello to the Very Intelligente Pocket, which Alison introduced me to this morning.

The VIP has slots for your wallet, digital music player, PDA, mobile phone, keys, lipstick, meds, lotions, all the “crap” that we like to load ourselves down with. Hey, we may not always need it, but it’s good to have it when we do!

There are different sizes and different configurations available  - both for men and women, and the prices appear to range from 30.00 to 40.00€.
