JERSEY JOE RECOMMENDS:

I just wish we could go back to the good old days of flying, where it was actually fun to fly.  Flying may be fast and convenient, but starting with the TSA security lines, it generally becomes a drag.

I would also like the airlines to include everything at once in the final price.  No little upcharages, once I get to the airport.  I know that’s how they make extra money, but why not just include that all in the original price when I book?  Or, at least give me those options when I book.  I would be much more inclined to spend a few extra bucks during booking, if I know that I’m going to get a cocktail or a hot meal during my flight.  All those little charges add up after a while.  But, they benefit the airlines — not the consumer.  They certainly make me thing twice about adding extras to my flight.

What are some of your other airline peeves?  Drop me a line on Twitter @JerseyJoe50!

This is a great app.  It’s been around for a few years, so I pretty much figured that they had given up on designing more scenes.  I was completely surprised when a major update came out in mid-June, so I decided to share it with you.

There are a ton of similar apps out there, but this is the only one with official effects from the new Star Trek movies.  The official Action Movie FX app is only available for IPhones, but there are a ton of similar apps for Android devices.

Give it a try and let me know what you think!
