It turns out that snow in Georgia is pretty rare. And even if it does snow, there's never enough to make a decent snowball. But now there's hope. Thanks to the computer box, you can have all the fun of snowball throwing from any location in the country, even the stupid no-snow south.
Check out this game from Cartoon Network.

You throw your snowballs at a target and send the link to a friend for them to dodge. Then they can retaliate and send a link back to you for you to dodge. It's a pretty simple concept. It only sounds complicated.
Can you dodge my barrage?

Tooth Tunes
I'm sure "I could have thought of that!" is on the lips of just about everyone who's seen the commercials for Tooth Tunes.
I some times take for granted that I work for a kids TV network and don't realize that people don't watch toy commericals all day. If you haven't heard of it, Tooth Tunes is a toothbrush that plays music in your mouth while you brush. It sends vibrations through your teeth and skull into your ears. You can't hear it unless it's touching your teeth.
I just so happened to get a Tooth Tunes in an office gift exchange this year. It features "Rock N Roll All Night" by Kiss. I know. It's awesome. The brush claims to increase your brushing time. It'll play for a full two minutes, the recommended amount of time for brushing. But I don't care what song is playing in my mouth. I can't brush for two minutes straight.
It's a fun novelty gift, but hearing the high school musical song every time you brush is going to get old really fast.

Juno
After a horrible loss at trivia last week, my team was entered in a pity drawing for tickets to a sneak preview of the movie Juno. In typical loser fashion, we WON. And by we, I mean me. Because I took my friend Hadley from work and went to the movie yesterday.
It's about a spirited, spunky, independent, (how many times can I say the same thing?) girl named Juno. She gets pregnant from a nerdy track star, Paulie Bleeker (Michael Cera), and decided to have the baby and give it up for adoption. The dialogue is quick and witty. Fans of the Gilmore Girls would be right at home. The adoption couple is played by Jason Bateman and Jennifer Garner. He's a wannabe rock star turned commercial jingle writer and she's a serious professional who is gung ho about motherhood. The interactions between Juno and Paulie and Juno and Jason Bateman's characters are some of the funniest in the film.
Overall, I think Juno tells a funny, relatable story. Although, I am disappointed that they kind of let Paulie take no responsibility for the baby. But I did get a kickin' free shirt after the movie, so that is a total bonus.
Anywho, it's a limited release. If your city was lucky enough to be selected, I'd recommend it checking it out. Otherwise, wait til it comes to Netflix.
