Ever hear a song and you just can’t remember the title or artist? Well, if so, Shazam was made for you…and me!
All you have to do is hold you iPhone near the music…it has to be loud enough. It takes a few seconds, but your phone buzzes when it is done, and shazam…up comes the title and the artist. This is fun!
Being a skeptic, thinking it would work only for popular music, I used a CD that was a compilation of generic classical music. Shazam was accurate in naming the piece. Pretty good.
This is another free app…well worth the price!!!

Have you ever wanted directions on how to make the USS Enterprise out of office supplies or edible eyeballs? If so, then I have a site for you. Instructables has a huge selection of how to’s and DIY things ranging from how to make a pie to making fake (but real looking) scars and much much more.
Personally, I love the creativity that is highlighted at Instructables. I have found directions on how to make a “kid wash” out of PVC pipe and some nozzles and to make my own bound books. There are tons of costumes that have rather detailed directions on making your own.
Not all instuctables are the greatest but if you read over the steps and make sure that they make sense to you, I’m sure you’ll have an awesome rock climbing wall for your garage or figure out how to ship a tiger to Canada.
