Knowing some of you go to the same places as me...

I believe there are two types of people in this world: those who accept any  (Facebook) friend with the ability to push a friend request button, and those who say “heck no creep, I don’t know you.” At the expense of my social media career, I’m in that later category.

Stop what you're doing..there's a whole site...

Has there ever been an app so good, you actually wanted to put it inside you? Like you just love Shazam so much you want to put it in your belly? Did you know there is a whole site dedicated to JUST this phenomena? Meet App Cakes: where apps go to become confections. It’s like Cake Wrecks, but instead of wrecks, these are all AWESOME. Some of my personal favorites include:  Dotty Shapes ...
