Back Off Grocery Stores!

I think Hannaford and Price Chopper should just stop distributing food to their own stores. Let me explain why. Last night, at dinner, I was having microwave chopped carrots. They were hard and didn't even taste like carrots. I went up to the counter and looked at the bag of carrots. Price Chopper brand. I should of known. Even if experienced  carrot brands cost 10 cents more than the Price Chopper and Hannaford brand, the experienced brand is most likely fresher and tastes better. So basically what I'm saying is not to look at the price, look at the quality.

Sphero: A Ball Shaped Robot

 The gift I loved most this holiday season was a baseball-sized iPhone/iPod/iPad controlled robot called Sphero, which I later named "Steve" as in Steve Jobs There are about 15 apps you can get that interact with Sphero. Most are games that move Sphero around or make him a game controlled for you device. Some features Sphero has include that it can change into lots (I mean a lot) of colors. Another is that it is controlled via Bluetooth, so the range of Sphero is pretty far. From you device, you can control Sphero by dragging the screen, tilt your device, or drag it while video taping Sphero at the same time. The negative about this product is that you have to calibrate Sphero every time you change your controller's direction, but this problem isn't that big of a deal.

The Best and Worst Songs

Image
We all know there are some bad songs out there, but the worst one is Locked Out of Heaven by Bruno Mars. Who likes a song where the singer keeps going "Ahh" and "Ohhh" and "Locked Out of Heaven"? Seriously! Even the music video quality is the worst I've seen in a music video, EVER! If you don't believe me, here is proof: If you want a great song, I reccomend listening to Girl on Fire (Inferno Version) by Alicia Keys (featuring Nicki Minaj). For me, it gets me pumped up and a little inspiration (While Locked Out of Heaven makes me feel like I'm locked out of heaven, its that bad!): So vote which song you think is better: What song is better?   Locked Out of Heaven by Bruno Mars   Girl on Fire by Alicia Keys featuring Nicki Minaj    poll code free polls
