Is there anyone in the audience named Eddie? Please stand up... ok, 25 of you. I'm sensing an Eddie in his 40's? Yes, 3 of you. I'm feeling that one of you has felt great loss recently. None of you? Great loss in the last 3 years? Yes? You? Ok, remain standing Eddie. I'm sensing that you lost a loved one, a parent. No? A child? No? A pet? Yes? I'm feeling that it was a dog? Yes a dog.....

Lost in the deluge of make-a-list applications out there is the fact that some of them are almost worth the money. Take Grocery IQ, for example. Its recent update has improved on the original idea and created a grocery-list app that works almost as well as pen and paper.

Grocery IQ is a grocery list, allowing you to make a list at home and tick off items when you put them in your cart -- a task more easily done undigitally, on the surface. But Grocery IQ takes it a step further, allowing you to customize the list by category, then organizing your categories by the order in which you walk through the store. So all of your fruits and vegetables are listed under "produce," all your dairy under "dairy and cheese," and so on. This seems like a small thing, unless you're grocery challenged like myself, and have spent the better part of an hour racing across the store to pick up something in an aisle I forgot.

I wanted to write this review last week, but I kept putting it off. Then I would forget to do it, then put it off some more and then, whoa, like serious time had gone by without me even realizing it.

Wait.

What was I doing again?

Oh yeah, reviewing iPot! I remember now.

Wow, "big round of applause for California laws" as Fat Mike says. If you are one of those who don't know, (or can't remember) California has de-criminalized marijuana for medicinal purposes with the passing of Proposition 215. I won't ramble on about the details, but through a series of steps one can obtain an ID card, and then purchase marijuana legally to aid in the easing of a seemingly endless number of afflictions. These afflictions include pain, stress, anxiety, hair loss, toenail fungus, bad breath, insomnia, social awkwardness, un-mellowness and not feeling high unless you have smoked some really good pot. And some other things too, but I can't remember them.
