Facebook Places: A Review
Earlier this week, Facebook rolled out “Places”, an update to the mobile version of its app. To quote Facebook’s official blog, Facebook allows its users to share “who, what, when … and now where, with Facebook Places.” There seems to be a lot of general confusion as to what Places is and isn’t, what it does and doesn’t do.

20 Year Music Flashback
All of the following albums were released 20 years ago in August, 1990.

Sabritones: The Worst Snack in the Whole Wide World
On our way to Springfield over the weekend, Jeff and I stopped at a convenient store for gas and a snack. I went to pick up a .99 cent bag of Funyuns (the road trip snack of champions), but they were out. Instead, I picked up a bag of “Sabritones”, a Chili & Lime “Puffed Wheat Snack”.
