It’s surprising that Yelp, the go-to site for finding restaurants, bars and other venues, has no presence in the Android Market. But that’s okay. Foursquare does the job with a social incentive to boot. Foursquare is a location-based social mobile network that allows users to check-in at different places, post tips and to-do items with their phones, and compete with their friends and fellow city rivals to accumulate points and become the “mayor” of various places (basically, by spending more time there than anyone else). The Android app makes Foursquare into much more than a game — it becomes a …

It's been a little while since I made a movie with this title so I went back to it cause it seemed appropriate, I also noticed that the last few have been in sync with what year it was. This one being the Part 9 and filmed in '09. But any who, This is me on my Grandpa's farm vacationing this past holiday shooting stuff solo and some with a few cousins of mine & In the snow at around 8 degrees so it adds some cool cinematics as its quiet different looking then my other videos. My lovely girlfriend is absent visiting her own family but she got me a very nice Christmas gift which i shoot quiet a bit in the video, a Smith & Wesson Model 629-5 .44 Magnum with a 4" Barrel and handmade grips, she sure knows how to pick a good gift! Also in the video is my Saiga-12 shotgun now with an MDArms Gunfixer's adjustable gas knob and an E-tac Standard Twister gas puck. I'm on my way to building the Saiga the way I want it, i'm waiting on an accessory rail in the mail from Chaos right now and I'm about to order a bunch of internal parts. I'm so excited, its going to look great! The reason the Saiga fails to feed once or twice in the video is just because I forgot to change the gas setting from magnum to field loads is all. Also featured is my Glock 29 10mm carry gun, Ruger Mark III Hunter .22 target pistol, and my Savage Model 83R17-FVSS .17 HMR sniping some bottles. My 13 Year old cousin Cody in the film shoots a few guns hes never tried, his first 12 gauge (He'll be suprised at the <b>...</b>
