Should You Get an iPad?

Should you get an iPad? Well to me, iPad kinda looks like a giant iPod and it doesn’t even come with a camera, so why should I even bother to get one? Besides, it’s mad expensive ($600 a pop). If you’re not sure whether you should get one or not, you should follow this flowchart (thanks to Holy Taco!) to determine if you should get one.

I’m a huge fan of Google Maps. I even have it installed in my BlackBerry. I think before I own a GPS, I’d use Google Maps pretty religiously since I could get lost pretty easily. Yeah I’m pretty bad at directions.. As bad as my ability to count poker chips (so they say).

So I found this picture below. Apparently this guy was trying to look up directions from Sydney Airport to uhm.. Stanmore? Wherever that is. I guess it’s somewhere in the US. Click on the picture to view it in actual size. Looks like those geeks behind Google Maps really love to poke fun of us. I mean, seriously… “kayak accross the Pacific Ocean??”

Tweet!

So I recently became addicted to Twitter. I’ve had the account for almost a year but I started to get really into it about three weeks ago. I’m sure you guys know what Twitter is, a status update service which enables the users to send and read other users’ updates – which I think is completely similar to Facebook Status Updates.

Now every few minutes I would log in to Twitter (thanks to Tweetberry!) on my BlackBerry to update my status as well as read my friends’ status updates. And I have to say, tweeting (yes, it has somehow officially become a verb in the English dictionary) can be somewhat entertaining and sort of addicting. I mean, you get to read all these interesting status updates like someone’s dog has gone missing to some girl hating her hairstylist because he messed up her hair, or someone threw away the BBQ chicken that he just made because it tasted like crap and decided to order some Chinese.. You see how entertaining it is?

Anyhoo, for all you Twitter addicts out there, I found these Twitter-based games which are good for a brain exercise and can still be fun distractions. I personally like to keep my Twitter games-free. Tweeting every few minutes is already more than enough for me, let alone playing games on it.

Twivia will ask a question and the first person to @reply the answer gets points, specified in every Tweet. It also tweets out the answers after someone gets it correct, so you don’t have to keep wondering about the answer.

This one is straight up for nerds. If you’re a math or engineering nerd, you’ll love this Twitbrain. Twitbrain will tweet a math problem – and it’s all about how fast you can calculate the answer and @reply it to Twitbrain.

I honestly still don’t get the purpose of tweetbomb. It only suggests a Twitter user a day to @reply with absolutely no text. The hope is to completely confuse the target until they finally realize that they’ve been the target of a massive Tweetbomb. Pfffftt… Lame.

This one is kinda similar to Twitbrain and Twivia, except that instead of questions or math problems, it sends out head-scratching word scrambles every hour. Do you know what UWHEVRCXOU is unscrambled? Only God and BeatMyTweet know the answer.

Follow Tweet140. Once you do, it will track your tweets to see how close to 140 characters each one comes. Try it out for a week to see how high of a score you can get.
