In Jetpack Joyride (iOS), you “rank up” by completing “missions,” like “Use every vehicle once” and such. (It’s a great game, by the way, and you should buy it.)
What’s the highest rank?
It’s Barry.

Drunk Moose Gets Stuck Up Tree
An inebriated moose trying to get more fermenting apples apparently lost its balance and ended up stuck in an apple tree in Sweden, The Local website reported.
I’m not sure whether I’d rather deal with a drunk moose or a hungover moose.
$10 Million for Bartz
A form 8-K the company filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission today notes that Bartz was “removed from her role” as CEO, and will receive severance benefits “for termination without cause.”
According to some number crunching by CNN, that includes $3 million in cash, as well as a pro-rated yearly bonus worth somewhere between $1 million to $2 million. Add in company stock and you get an extra $5.2 million, a payout figure the company floated in December of last year, which is now higher.
We reward failure—even spectacular failure—in this country. But only if you’re the person at the top.
Your Email Address May Not Be Published
Hey, WordPress theme developers.
There’s something I’d like to ask you not to do anymore. Don’t do this:
Here, too:
And why not?
You are making a promise to people who visit any blog that uses your theme, and it’s one that may or may not be respected and honored by the blog owner or author.
“Your email address will never be published or shared.”
This type of language or a variant thereof is in an awful lot of WordPress themes. (In the first example above, “never” is even in italics to stress how important this is. Needless to say, on the blog where this notice was found (using a commonly-available theme), comments that didn’t agree with the author had their email addresses published in retorts by the blog author.
Because WordPress provides blog moderators with the email address (and the IP) of users who comment on their posts, the very information that many themes say will not be shared is given to the one person (or people) who have the ability to publish it for other readers of the post to see.
So I say think twice before putting this language in your theme.
MacGourmet on Sale
For its 7th anniversary, MacGourmet is currently on sale for a great price, and you can get the standard version for $9.99 or the Deluxe version (what I just bought) for $24.99 on the App Store.
That’s about half-off for the Deluxe version. A great deal.
