I have two toddlers at home who keep stealing my iPhone. I’ve got an entire page dedicated to apps for children, it’s my own fault.

I have yet to come across a great memory game. That’s why I’m so proud of our recent partnership and development of the Toys”R”Us Geoffrey’s Memory Game app.

The free app is a new spin on the classic card matching game. It allows kids to test their memorization skills, flipping over cards in an attempt to find a matching picture. On a side note, my kid’s memories are way better than mine!

The game has three levels of difficulty, it’s fun and simple to use. You can grab it now for free from the iTunes App Store.

And If you’re a grown up with a poor memory here’s 60 tips to improve yours. I just keep forgetting to visit the page.

We’re racing wood! If you have spent any time around Boy Scouts you’ll be familiar with the pinewood derby. According to Wikipedia:

Cubmaster Don Murphy organized the first pinewood derby, held on May 15, 1953 in Manhattan Beach, California by Pack 280c. Murphy’s son was too young to participate in the popular Soap Box Derby races, so he came up with the idea of racing miniature wood cars. The cars had the same gravity-powered concept as the full-size Soap Box Derby cars, but were much smaller and easier to build. After Don Murphy’s first race in 1953 the Los Angeles County Department of Recreation copied the pinewood derby with Murphy’s permission.

Our friends at Imogene + Willie have invited us to the first annual 12th South Pinewood Derby next Saturday, November 21st!

Watch for the Griffin car, it’s going to rock your socks off. We already have some great ideas on how to customize our vehicle.

If you’re in Nashville and you love the smell of pine in the morning (or at 4pm), you won’t want to miss this amazing opportunity to get together and race some wood! Not to mention you’ll be getting BBQ, beer, whisky, a t-shirt and Griffin goodies!

You can pick up your car kit at Imogene + Willie for $50.00. Don’t be shy, it’s not hard to create a great pinewood ride. Did I mention the winner wins a $500 GriffinTechnology.com shopping spree?

Get yourself registered Nashville and we’ll see you at the races!

When we were in Los Angeles for the Daytime Emmy Awards we had the great pleasure of meeting Lara Spencer, the host of The INSIDER. Together we came up with a fun Twitter trivia idea!

THE INSIDER premiered in 2004 as the highest-rated debut of any newsmagazine in syndication since 1996. Based on the popular “Entertainment Tonight” segment of the same name, THE INSIDER reports on the world of celebrity from a unique “insider” perspective, using first-person interviews, special “inside” access, “behind-closed-door” reports and “inside information” from knowledgeable sources and contacts.

Each Friday in November Lara will tweet a trivia question on Twitter. The first three people who reply with the correct answer to @griffintech will win our popular FM transmitter, iTrip Auto SmartScan and our rechargeable backup battery, PowerDuo Reserve for iPhone and iPod.

IMPORTANT:

You need to be following and reply the trivia answer to Lara @tiLaraSpencer and @griffintech on Twitter. Use the hashtag #laragriffin to be entered to win. The first three correct answers in our Twitter timeline win each week!

Good luck!
