Do you worry about where that photo might end up? If not, you should! haha Worry no longer though as a new app allows sext message senders to 'destroy' their risque photos up to ten seconds after it is opened! Like a "go-go-gadget message" (gotta love inspector gadget)! Snapchat sees the picture 'self-destruct' after a pre-programmed amount of time. A message is also sent to the sender if the recipient tries to 'screengrab' the shot. HOW SNAPCHAT WORKS: Sender and recipient must both have the free iPhone app installed. Sender takes a picture and sets how long they want it to be viewed for before it 'self-destructs'. They send the picture to their contact. The recipient has up to ten seconds, from the time they open the picture, to view it. The picture will ...http://www.boom997.com/Blog/Kim/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10381788ksullivan@astral.com (Kim)http://www.boom997.com/Blog/Kim/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10381788Wed, 09 May 2012 23:03:26 GMTYou start to sweat when you realise that your cellphone signal is low?! You would truly freak out if you lost your phone? You might suffer from nomophobia! A new study found that about 66% of people suffer from nomophobia -- or 'no mobile phone phobia' -- proving that being with your phone at all times is an obsession that occupies every waking minute. The number of people afflicted with nomophobia is up 13% from 4 years ago... If you think you may suffer from nomophobia then the warning signs are: An inability to ever turn your phone off Obsessively checking for missed calls, emails and texts Constantly topping up your battery life Being unable to pop to the bathroom without taking your phone in with you. Are you a nomophobic?! I might have a couple of those warning signs...

It's about time that they return the favor no?! This past week, at Australian Fashion Week, all the good gowns were for men! Yep! The latest trend is the man dress! Add some tough guy leather cuffs, maybe a butt-cape or just call it an extra long polo shirt -- if you want to be trendy, you have to adapt! Maybe start with a LBD (little black dress, men) -- everyone should have at least one! Would you wear a man dress? Girls -- would you date a guy in a dress?

But the results of Bank of Canada focus groups show that many Canadians don't know such a memorial exists. REALLY?!?! Even crazier is that the study found that Canadians think that the design on the new polymer banknote, which was officially unveiled last Wednesday by the Bank of Canada, is "too pornographic." REALLY!??!  Yep! All because of  "naked characters" on the memorial. The characters are true to the actual Vimy Memorial; sculptures represent the virtues of truth, faith, justice, charity, knowledge, and at the highest point of the monument, the figure of peace. The new $20 bills will begin circulating in November, joining polymer ...http://www.boom997.com/Blog/Kim/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10381302ksullivan@astral.com (Kim)http://www.boom997.com/Blog/Kim/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10381302Tue, 08 May 2012 22:49:43 GMTDr Shaq! Former NBA star Shaquille O'Neal received his doctoral degree in education from Miami's Barry University on Saturday! I guess being a four-time NBA champion wasn't enough! Shaq spent the past four-and-a-half years working towards his doctoral degree in organizational learning and leadership with a specialization in human resource development, earning a cumulative GPA of 3.8!! He's one smart cookie!  His doctoral project was called, "The Duality of Humor and Seriousness in Leadership Styles."  Interesting! I'd read it!

A Harvard scientist has collaborated with a French designer to create a portable mouth spray, called WA/HH Quantum Sensations, that gets users instantly drunk -- although it only lasts for a few seconds!! The mouth spray shoots a small amount of alcohol directly into the users' system, creating the brief buzz and leaving behind no hangover. Why would one want to try something like that?! Maybe out of curiosity... Maybe a non-drinker needs a few moments of 'liquid courage' in order to talk to a cute guy or girl at the bar?! Distribution of the liquid courage is not happening yet but it will reportedly cost $26. I wonder if you have to be 18 to buy it?!

The late icon and the Pepsi have a lengthy history, including his 1988 "Pepsi Generation" commercial. Michael Jackson's estate thought that the partnership was the best fit to go about the re-release of the BAD album and they are celebrating with the "Live for Now" campaign -- which will also hold worldwide contents for fans to win jackets designed with the original "Bad" tour staff jackets in mind, as well as tickets to the Cirque du Soleil's "Michael Jackson: The IMMORTAL World Tour."  Kim ;)http://www.boom997.com/Blog/Kim/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10380262ksullivan@astral.com (Kim)http://www.boom997.com/Blog/Kim/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10380262Sun, 06 May 2012 15:25:58 GMTJane's Walkis back for its fifth year in Ottawa!
