Androidify Yourself

Androidify is a free app in the Android Market which allows you to craft your own version of the Android robot. Yes, it is yet another "create your own avatar" application, but it's pretty amusing for Android fans such as myself. There is even an option to add a baby Android robot — Here is my own Androidified self, complete with a steaming cup of coffee and a book. And I just couldn't resist the shirt with the Korean flag on it. Watch the video below to learn more about Androidify. Have fun Android-ifying yourself! Via Engadget....

Model-Morphosis

I don't follow fashion, so the only reason I was even aware that New York Fashion Week is currently underway is due to the Facebook feeds of my fashion-forward friends.

Keepin’ It Real

A couple of weeks ago, I posed the following question on Facebook and Twitter: How do my internet mommy friends make the time to Facebook, Twitter, AND blog? I feel like I can only do one consistently without losing even more sleep. Admittedly, I didn't get as many responses as I had hoped. (Sometimes I get paranoid that many people I consider my internet friends are not my friends, but actually dislike me and only remain in my social media circle out of pity/laziness/contempt. And one of the reasons I have been slowly pulling myself out of these sites is because I feel left out. There, I said it.) But those who did respond helped me realize that we all have different priorities. For...
