Tools for Procrastination and Lecture Survival – Part 1
I have decided to write this two-part article as a part protest and part laugh, so sit back, relax and enjoy!

Read MoreAppView: Mighty Fin
Fin needs a vacation. He’s signed up for Shady Sal’s suspiciously cheap — and possibly deadly — Round the World Tour. Hey, money’s tight when you’re a working fish.
Mighty Fin is an addictive arcade game that’s easy to pick up, hard to master… and impossible to put down. The controls are simple: touch the screen to dive and let go to soar through the air. Grab bubbles for a high score, leap over lighthouses, swim under icebergs, and try not to get eaten by hungry sharks!
Features:
★ Guide Fin through golden isles, arctic ice caves, and vicious storms
★ Replayable levels that are never the same twice
★ Beautiful Retina Display artwork
★ Collect over two dozen souvenir costumes, from sombreros to bunny ears
★ Compete for gold medals and Game Center high scores
Price: $1.29
