First, here is something for the locals.

For all of you trekking up and down the Bay Area using CalTrain here is an electronic CalTrain timetable. It's very simple and is by no means "feature rich" but hey - it's free and it does tell you when the next train to San Jose leaves.

Through a number of drop down menus you select direction, time of travel, start and end point. The application will then present the list of trains available.

The same developer, Grassroot Innovation (what a great name) who created the above CalTrain timetable has also put together a number of trivia/quiz applications.

I tried out two, (they are available as limited demos) World History Trivia and Football Trivia (In hope that it was "soccer" instead of "American Football" - when will I ever learn…)

They are inexpensive, $7.50 each, and will provide some distraction when you are stuck in a meeting

However, applications feel a bit rough around the edges (ex. see below) and could have done with another polish. Try before you buy.
