Frontier Communications
Not sure why this is listed as Frontier Communications, but these are plane tickets for @october and I to head up to Montana for New Years. It was cold (20 below wind chill at times), but very awesome.
FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT Architecture HOFFMAN House BUSINESS CARD CASE Holder
This was a Christmas for my dad. He is a big Frank Lloyd Wright fan and had mentioned that he needed a business card holder. My sister and I got him this to serve the purpose.

Love these guys.
Anjelah Johnson
It was alright, but I was expecting a lot more so I ended up being pretty disappointed. I watched her special because I had seen her nail salon bit on youtube, and it was hilarious. She did the bit here as well, but it wasn't nearly as good. The rest of the act felt kind thrown together.
Gamer
Better than I was expecting it to be, but at the same time slower. The action scenes didn't feel very suspenseful. They actually generated similar feelings to an action scene in a video game. I was interested and excited, but never felt like anything was on the line.
National Geographic: Aryan Brotherhood
More tattoos than you know that to do with.
World's Most Dangerous Gang
M13 is a scary entity. It is pretty fascinating how the US's way of dealing with the problem (deportation) just made the problem worse by spreading the gang all over the world.

I'm still waiting for the documentary about the World Most Dangerous Vegetable.

@iamphilsharp For a moment I parsed the name as MI3, one of the now-defunct branches of the British secret service. My responses would not have been as helpful as @hmcfletch's.
Inside the U.S. Secret Service
A good overview of the Secret Service, but it still seemed to be just that, an overview. Didn't feel like there was a lot of depth to it.

i suppose it's called secret for a reason lol

touché :o)
Can Knockdown App
I am not very good at this game. Still pretty fun though.
Infinity Blade App
Pretty good on the iPhone. Awesome on the iPad. Get's a bit repetitive, but it's still fun.

FreeAppADay Store: Paid Apps For Free Daily + Game Reviews & Trailers
Keeping an eye out for apps that are free for a short time.
Word Lens App
Ok. Awesome. Plain and simple. I see lots of people saying that it has limitations and that it's a good concept, but doesn't work all that well and that $10 is a lot to pay for the libraries. Personally, I find this an amazing app. When used for it's intended purpose, it is nothing short of astounding.
It is doing word for word translations at the moment, so that probably makes it's best use case translating signs and the like. If you are trying have it translate a mass of text, then you don't understand the limitations of the hardware you are using. The iphone isn't powerful enough to do all that OCR and real time image manipulation. It will keep getting better and better as they iterate on their software and the hardware it runs on gets better.
I am really looking forward to this app maturing.
