Sha's "In-cite": Numero Uno

Philadelphia, PA

Since my little family is moving across the country to one of the original 13 colonies, I needed to get to know the "City of Brotherly Love". Here are a few fun facts I came across:

• In 1946 Philadelphia became home to the first computer.



• The first daily newspaper was published in Philadelphia on Sept. 21, 1784.



• In Philadelphia in 1775 Johann Behrent built the first piano in America calling it under the name "Piano Forte."



• Betsy Ross made the first American flag in Philadelphia.



• Philadelphia is home to the cheesesteak sandwich, water ice, soft pretzels, and TastyKakes.



• Philadelphia is home to the Liberty Bell.



• Fairmount Park in Philadelphia is the largest city park with over 8,000 acres.



• Philadelphia was once the United States capital city.

The Hug Shirt

TIME Best Inventions 2006

Something that caught my eye. It is "a high-tech garment that simulates the experience of being embraced by a loved one. When a friend sends you a virtual hug, your cell phone notifies the shirt wirelessly, via Bluetooth. The shirt then re-creates that person's distinctive cuddle, replicating his or her warmth, pressure, duration and even heartbeat." I wonder when it will be available to the public and what the price will be???

Business in the front...

... and party in the back. It's the over-used cliche of the 80's and 90's: the mullet. This pic just can't be ignored, though. If you're going to have a mullet, REALLY go for it!

Movie Review

(Every time you see a movie please post a pic, trailer, or something and then your opinions on said movie. Other viewers of this blog will then respond in the comment section.)


T says, "I did enjoy this film despite the stench in the theater. The music and dancing were quite well done. At times Mr. Travolta was disturbing, but I did love her/his line 'How am I supposed to negotiate the pleats?' This would be the first time that I really saw Amanda Bynes as an actress. And how can you go wrong with Zac Efron? (Although, please note that I did not like High School Musical)"
