Are you choking? Yeah, there's an app for that, too.
On the list of "I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes" apps, this one takes the cake... and chokes on it. The free I am choking app could save your life if you are choking on food and can't speak. If you have your iPhone in hand and can avoid panicking, then you can launch the app, wave your iPhone frantically in front of someone who is nearby, and hope that they can a) read English, and b) follow the instructions in the app to perform the Heimlich Maneuver on you. Actually, this is no joking matter -- about 3,000 adults die every year from choking on food. Of course, you'll need to have the app downloaded and installed on your iPhone or iPod touch before this happens. As fellow TUAW blogger Erica Sadun noted, "by the time you download and install, you could be dead." Apparently the developers, Thought Shaping LLC, don't want to get sued by the relatives of people who are not saved by the app, as they've added the disclaimer "Note that this is for novelty use only!" at the bottom of the app description in the iTunes Store.

Behind the Curtain: On the edge
So, I finally hit level 80 with my Warrior. What should I be doing now? Hitting up Icecrown, working on getting those last few pieces of gear to hit the defence cap, then working on reputation, clear some Heroic runs for more gear. And maybe have some fun, chaotic Naxxramas runs with my guild where we lay bets on who can die in the most spectacular fashion. If, that is, I can get my dates right and sign up for the correct evenings. What am I doing instead? Farming Stratholme for the near-mythical undead mount of one Baron Rivendare.
