Disney Club Penguin's Nyan Puffle!

Many of you out there are quite familiar with Nyan Cat, the popular video of the 8-bit poptart cat dancing across space followed by a rainbow. Club Penguin has decided to spoof it, and here is their result: Nyan Puffle, an orange puffle in a poptart box flying through the box dimension.

Pretty Pet Salon App Review

     Cora Fan here with another app review! Today, I will be discussing about one of my new favorite apps, called Pretty Pet Salon. It's one of those games that are much like Sally's Salon or Sally's Spa. You own a shop, you can level up, and upgrade items. However, it has distinct differences as well. There is no queue that you can make. You simply tap on what you want your main character to do. If you want to make a list of things for it to run around and do, you can't. Unless you purchase many employees, you can't do a lot at once. However, unlike Sally's Salon, you don't have a mini game to play and take up time. You just tap on where you want your character to go and he or she will make sparkles (literally) and get the task done.
     The game is a great game to entertain yourself for a long time. Not the best game for a ride in the car, as it will easily make you dizzy. As you advance to the higher levels, you'll need both thumbs for the games with the faster gameplay. The people will be coming in faster and you'll be struggling to keep up.

My Review
     I found the game is very appealing considering it's free price. However, I found myself constantly downloading more apps to get the Pet Points in order to purchase more upgrades. This has always been distasteful to me in an app, but as  necessary part to keep it free, which I respect. The gameplay is an easy to pick up game, but once you get to higher levels, I found myself playing it less and less. I'd rate it 2.5 stars out of 5. I liked it, but hated it at the same time.
Comment your thoughts and reviews too :)

Balloon Amigurumi Pattern

You could use them to attach to a present, as a mobile, or just for the fun of it. Hope this is fun little project, and leave any questions or comments, in the comments. ^-^ Use this pattern as you like, however, please give credit and link back to this website/post. Thanks!

Terracycle: the Awesomeness of Upcycling

This company is all about going green, while at the same time, making green. Founded initially by selling worm poop as fertilizer in a reused bottle, they have grown much more than anyone ever imagined. Today they're making deals with Walmart, Target, Home Depot, and the big guys.

They've been using this method (started in 2007) called Sponsored Waste Upcycling.

Capri Sun, Honest Kids, Frito Lay, Huggies, Paper Mate, and many others pay shipping and offer rewards to individual organizations (schools, clubs, teams, and the like) to collect and send in typically un-recyclable waste to Terracycle to be recycled, or "upcycled" into cool and exotic new products such as backpacks made from juice pouches, kites out of Oreo wrappers, and waste bins created by pelletizing chip bags.

Cool, huh? I like to call them "the second line of defense" for keeping rubbish out of the landfills.

You can join a Terracycle Brigade yourself at terracycle.net, while at the same donating to a charity or school of your own choice!

iPhone/iPod Touch App Review: Mad Libs!

If you want this game, here's the link: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mad-libs/id326885152?mt=8. You could also try getting it at the app store on your iPhone.

VACATIONS
A vacation is when you take a trip to some fake
ADJECTIVE place with your hideous
ADJECTIVE family. Usually you go to some place that is near a/an plastic bottle
NOUN or up on a/an hat
NOUN. A good vacation place is one where you can ride boxes
ANIMAL (PLURAL) or play Kick Butt
GAME or go hunting for cheap plastic chairs
PLURAL NOUN. I like to spend my time spitting 
VERB ENDING IN 'ING' or singing
VERB ENDING IN 'ING'. When parents go on a vacation, they spend their time eating three cakes
FOOD (PLURAL) a day, and fathers play golf, and mothers sit around fighting
VERB ENDING IN 'ING'. Last summer, my little brother fell in a/an duck
NOUN and got poison mint
PLANT all over his arm
PART OF THE BODY. My family is going to go to somewhere
PLACE, and I will practice crying
VERB ENDING IN 'ING'. Parents need vacations more than kids because parents are always very awesome
ADJECTIVE and because they have to work 10,000
NUMBER hours every day all year making enough grasses
PLURAL NOUN to pay for the vacation.

The insanity you've just read was simply the work of the amazing app, Mad Libs. That's right-  they've made it so easy to create a Mad Lib, that even a gorilla could create one by pressing a bunch of buttons on a tap screen.

Although, like many others, this app has it's ups and        downs. For example, it's much more convenient to bring your iphone/ ipod touch than to lug a pad and a pencil (that needs to be sharpened) into a car during a road trip. But then again, people tend to get seasick playing on their phone in the car. Or the fact that you're not wasting trees (for paper) by using the application. While on the other hand, you are still leaving a footprint by using electricity (to charge your electronic device). 

You may understand that these pros and cons are simply at a tie. So, I've decided to give it a neutral 2.5 stars; The choice is yours to make.

Now tell US what YOU think of this application by leaving a comment below. Thanks! And keep on smelling!

Eco-Friendly Widget

I found the coolest little eco-friendly widget. The meaning of it was to prove that even un-recyclable  waste can also have new life!

Click on any of the objects, and they'll turn into reused consumer products.






This widget thing-of-a-bob was brought to you by the amazing going green company, Terracycle. To learn more about them and their green awesomeness, visit terracycle.net.

Ouch! Summer's Almost Over

Oh no! 2/3 of this summer has faded away already! With this as our last month, we've got to spend our speeding time wisely. Got no clue? Let us give you a hint: being awesome by keeping up with Smellityet. "What do you mean, Legoman?" Well, like the speed of how fast the coming month will go by, so will a horde of new and improved posts. This month only we shall have a special of delivering a post every other day.

Let me say that again: every other day. And again: every other day. And again: every other day.

Okay, I kinda got out of hand there. I just like those bold letters, they're just so fun!

Anyways, here's the game plan: You simply remain awesome, step back, and watch a division of posts pass through your eyes in a month!

Keep on smelling!

Old Clip

I was cleaning the desktop on my computer, (yes, my desktop is overflowing, too) when I discovered this:







What is it, you ask? Well, it's a year-old-video-that-I-happened-to-forget-about-and-it-doesn't-have-sound-either-oh-well-that's-too-bad-but-then-again-I-might-have-deleted-it-anyways-so-just-go-ahead-and-watch-it. Wow, that must have been one big breath you needed to read that sentence out loud.
