Several people asked me about my experience at the Nashville Apple Store, so I thought I’d share how that went. They have what they call a “Genius Bar” where you can go for technical issues, repairs, etc and work directly with an Apple Store employee.

If you have a photocopier in your office that you and your colleagues have been using for years to make paper copies of important documents, here’s an important fact that may surprise some of you. Photocopiers Have a Hard-Disk Most photo copy machines, and even the newer all-in-one print-copy-scan-fax machines, have a built-in hard drive that stores a digital image of nearly every document that’s copied or scanned through these machines.

There’s a nice “photo memories” feature in Facebook now that highlights old photographs from your friend’s photo albums in case you missed seeing any of them previously.

Cold cream is an emulsion of fats and water which can be used to clean and soften the skin. Traditionally, cold cream has been used to remove makeup gently at the end of the day, and it can also be used to soften tough skin on the knees and elbows, or to keep skin protected from harsh winter weather.

This is probably the cutest Twitter app ever. Just put your Twitter username (or any other search phrase) in IsParade.jp and the app will create an animated parade of the search results with some good marching band music (though you may want to reduce the volume a bit). The animation is interactive so you can click the faces of anyone marching in the parade and it will pop-up the associated tweet in a bubble
