Shake it like a Polar….Errr wait, they still make those?

OK, I am definitely a product of the 80′s & 90′s…nothing beats GI Joe (uh..the original!), Saved By the Bell, Alf (yeah that just happened), and Polaroid pictures! Unless you are able to track down one of these relics at a yard sale or flea market, what can you do?.

I’m really impressed with the new Facebook app for iPhone. It is slick, works well and makes it less likely than ever that I will visit Facebook from a full browser.
