Now you can find out with an interactive experience app hosted by JARVIS on your iOS device!

About JARVIS: In Marvel’s “Iron Man” series, JARVIS is Tony Stark’s artificially intelligent computer system and serves a multitude of functions. JARVIS is programmed to speak with a male British accent and is voiced in Marvel’s “Iron Man” and “The Avengers” series by actor Paul Bettany (“A Beautiful Mind,” “The Da Vinci Code”).

App Overview: Ever wonder what it’s like to be Tony Stark? Download the one-of-a-kind, interactive experience app hosted by JARVIS to your iPad, iPhone or iPod and find out. Just like the real JARVIS, you will be able to interact with him using your own voice. Create customized alarms to wake you in the morning, download ringtones, check the weather, post to Facebook and more! Sync the app to your Blu-ray™ player to unlock hidden files and suits embedded throughout the disc, and experience the first-ever voice controlled Blu-ray!

App Features: Activate JARVIS through a simple setup process and get ready for an entirely new Second Screen Experience. JARVIS will literally be a part of your daily routine. Browse through all 42 of Tony Stark’s Armors in the interactive Armor gallery. Gain access to exclusive content as well as be able to control the Blu-ray menus with either a digital remote or simply by using your voice. “Marvel’s Iron Man 3” will be available on September 24, 2013.

Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover Soul iPod Touch Giveaway

chicken soup pet loverChicken Soup for the Pet Lovers Soul wants to encourage readers to enjoy the summer with their friends, family, and pets as well!  The summer is in full force, and enjoying BBQ’s for good food and great company  is an essential part of it. When you’re out enjoying the summer time what is your pet doing? In our neighborhood, our next door neighbors have a dog and he’s outside with all of the kids every afternoon. Our dogs are our pets and when we’re out having fun they want to have fun, which is why I have a preference for dogs over cats, but I know there are cat lovers out there. Maybe cats can tell who’s really a dog lover deep down and that’s why I’ve had bad luck with cats my whole life.

Be sure to visit Chicken Soup for Pet Lovers Soul Facebook Page and like them.

Anyways! Share you summertime pet photo with us to win an iTouch. I spent quite a bit of time looking through my summer time photos of our dogs Chewbacca and Jack and had a hard time finding the perfect one. Pets are such funny creatures, I miss both of my dogs. Here is the photo I found and decided to go with.

Back Story:

It was a hot and summer day, Zoe was only wearing a diaper and a shirt, we didn’t have any air conditioning so we were trying to keep cool. Jack was trying to keep cool too and they were making faces at each other. I’m not kidding. The dog and baby were communicating or having a contest. I think Zoe won or Jack just lost attention with the game.
