A Fun Phone App (That Pays You)

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of WeReward. All opinions are 100% mine.

 

So I think I've mentioned my iPhone at least a few times here. I love it. And when I'm bored or traveling I like to find new apps. Max has a whole page of games just for him.

I'm just now getting into sites like Foursquare, so when IZEA announced its app, WeReward for iPhone, I wanted to check it out. Essentially you check in like you do on other geolocation sites, but you get paid (a few cents) for checking in, taking a photo of a business, or doing other tasks the site specifies. (they also have WeReward for Android and BlackBerry is coming soon).

So I figure, if I'm walking by Walgreens, why not make $.05 for taking a photo?

I've used this app for a few months, since it came out. It's fun. At first I used it a lot, but sometimes I'm just so overwhelmed with the number of check-in sites on my phone (which is 4. a lot.), and I don't bother to see what I can earn points for.

I do like the feature where you can get points for posing with a product or business sign. I had a Jones Soda bottle and cheesed with it. I think that earned me $1.

If you're looking to get rich, this ain't the app. But if you're interested in making a few cents for doing something you'd do anyway (checking in), then visit WeReward.com to get started.

On the Subject of Hummingbirds

One of the things I love about our garden is all the hummingbirds it attracts. We’ve got at least 4 that zip through the garden, chattering and humming away.

The other day, two were in our house! I think they chased one another in and then didn’t know how to get out. I felt so bad–you could see them panicking as they tried to poke the ceiling with their beaks. One was so exhausted, he clawed a resting place on the wall about 8 feet up.

Finally, one found the feeder we placed in the door. The other I helped out on the end of a broom. They’re happy outside once again.

They’re just fascinating birds to me. So delicate and graceful. Here are some interesting facts I found:

  • Hummingbirds’ wings beat 60-80 times a second!
  • A hummingbird can’t smell
  • A hummingbird’s heart rate can be up to 1,260 beats per minute

Here’s a cool video slowed down to show the hummingbird drinking. It’s long and slow. You can fast forward. I did. Still, it’s neat!

I feel like this is a lame post. Is it a lame post?

Mexican Maxisms

You smell like some kind of bad breakfast. You smell like bad French Toast.

We don’t change our socks in Mexico.

Mama, how come you don’t fart?
