The Best App in the world is, of course, FAN MAIL:
But recently I stumbled across the SECOND best app in the world. It’s called Instagram and it rocks!
It makes the already cool photos I take even cooler. The square shape and the classic filters make documenting events with my iPhone even more exciting. I don’t just tell people what I’m doing, now I can show them in a really amazing way!
Here are some of my favorite Instagram moments:

Celebrities seem to be “challenged” in the Baby naming department, so I thought I would brainstorm some names for the newest baby on the celebrity block. Here is my list of ten potential names from Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s baby:
10. Babyoncé
9. Bay-B
8. Destiny’s Child
7. Lucky Bastard
6. B to the Izz-A B to the Izz-Y
5. Grammy
4. Sasha Fierce Jr.
3. The Blueprint 4
2. Roca-bye Baby
1. Kanye West
Have a great baby name for Beyoncé and Jay-Z? Comment below. I will personally see to it that they read all of your suggestions!
Yesterday skateboard legend Tony Hawk was in my studio doing an interview.
A few hours later he busted his face at the Kona Skate Park and lost his front tooth.
Near the end (5:24) I ask him if skateboarding is safe for kids. What ’till you hear what he says! (Oh the irony…)
Just over a week ago I released a new app to the iTunes store called “Fan Mail.” The app, available for the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad turns anyone into “Instant Celebrity” by creating and sending personalized fan mail to each user.
The critics emphatically HATE it!
It was designed to be a positive influence on people. I want regular people – teachers, doctors, volunteers – to experience the thrill and the boost in self-confidence that celebrities get when they receive fan mail. But within 24 hours of it’s release, critics of the app plastered the web with scathing reviews making it the “Most Hated App in America.”
“New app feeds your delusions of grandeur and fame.” -MSNBC
“This iPhone app reflects on the disturbingly precarious emotional state of the typical American.” -Gawker.com
“App that helps you pretend you’re famous is a joke.” -Cafemom.com
“Fan Mail Is Officially The Saddest App Ever Released.” -Spike.com
I had no idea people would find the idea so appalling. My vision was to create a motivational tool to help people get and stay inspired. I guess not everyone sees it that way.
It. Is. On. The search for “The Best!” And I primed and ready to compete.
A few days ago Folio Weekly began their annual search for “The Best of JAX 2011.” It’s an exciting time for every egotistical broadcaster, athlete, politician, artist, restaurant/bar owner, or “Wacko” in North Florida. Yes, there is a category for “Best Local Wacko.” I really hope I don’t win that one…again.
Last year we were honored with the award for “Best Local Radio Show.” The certificate hangs proudly over my…wait a minute…hmmm, where did I put that thing? It’s gotta be here somewhere. Give me a minute. I’ll find it.
I am praying for a repeat. To be a two-time winner in that category would surely be a coup! Definitely something to brag about. And if you listen to my show in the upcoming weeks you will most likely hear me begging for votes. But there is another category this year which I am focusing most of my campaigning attention on: Read more…
