“iMadeFace” is a free app for iPhone, iPod Touch, and the iPad 2 and 3. It lets you make a cartoon face with a message, like “I love you.” Joy had fun choosing a heart-shaped face, a pony tail, arched eyebrows, nice eyes, small mouth, normal nose and glasses, before emailing it to Bob. You can make it look like yourself or not. It can also be shared on social networking sites.

We recently read about Kevin, a six year-old who was always getting sick, often going to the emergency room, where he got prescriptions for more pills. What finally made him healthy again was getting him to eat fruits and veggies. What his mother did was carve cute little animals, Charlie Brown figures, and other fun stuff out of veggies and fruits. Meal time became fun and he looked forward to eating nutritiously. Fortunately for the rest of us, she made a Facebook page to show off her creations. The page, at Facebook.com/FunMeals4Kids, now has over 1,000 “likes.”

The Mark Zuckerberg comic book sold out on its first day. So now we have the Mark Zuckerberg graphic novel for $11. It’s titled “Mark Zuckerberg: Creator of Facebook,” and has expanded biographical info and illustrations in 48 pages. (How much of a biography can there be for a guy who’s 28?) There’s a $4 version for Kindle, Nook and iPad/iPhone.

Facebook.com/WithaView has knockout nature and food photos. We saw a cake with ice cream cones filled with frosting on all sides; should be a big hit with the kids.

When Joy was logged into Bob’s Facebook account the other day, she was riveted by a news story about celebrity cellulite. Clicking on it, she was asked to install the Social Reader app, which automatically announced to all of Bob’s contacts that he’d just been reading about celebrity cellulite. His actual interest in celebrity cellulite is zero.
