Prom Review

Th other day, I listened to This American Life's website to listen to a pod cast and do a review. The podcast that I listened to was titled Prom. This had four different stories having to deal with Prom and how it effects teenagers. The first story tells about prom in a small Kansas town. As Prom night came, all the Juniors and Seniors came and partied while a storm raged outside. The power went out as the storm raged and eventually news broke that a tornado had touched down. A third of the town had been destroyed as the teenagers had partied. The last story talks about a school in Wisconsin. They added a new ingredient to Prom. This secret ingredient changes Prom. Listen and see what it is. Overall, the audio documentary was boring. The first and last story are worth you time, but the middle two are mind numbingly boring. I would recommend skipping them. In general, the stories were not worth your time, but the content of the first two are very interesting. A must hear.

Who? The Beatles

This world famous English rock band possibly brought the world of music to what it is today. Formed in 1961 in Liverpool, the Beatles were one of the most popular bands in the world until their break up in 1970. The band members consisted of Ringo Starr, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison. Their song "Love Me Do" is not only one of their greatest hits, but the song that is solely responsible for bringing them to mainstream British music. After they achieved recognition, they exploded in popularity and toured until 1966. Once they finally settled down, they produced some of their finest work in studio. Their album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is known to be their greatest album and is considered by many to be a masterpiece. Even though the Beatles broke up over forty years ago, their music remains popular to this day, even having a Rock Band video game for their greatest hits. For more on the Beatles click here

Friday!!

So, today's Friday and as you should know by now its time for something completely random. Today's lucky winner is a Finger Touching Phone Concept. If you really want to look like a dork, you can only hope this concept will become reality. Once you've gotten a phone surgically inserted into your hand, you simply put on the bracelet-like contraption that comes with it. Once this is turned out, it will project a keypad onto the inside of your hand. The idea is that your knuckles will separate each individual button. There is still a lot of planning to do before this concept becomes a reality, but lets hope no one actually buys it. One can only imagine the pretty price tag on this baby.
