I am a personal technology columnist and blogger with a funny bone. I surf a lot, drink a lot, sleep a lot. On a typical day, I can be found collecting lemons thrown by life at me on any of the prominent social networks.

NASA recently announced its plans to test the Prandtl-m, a boomerang-shaped drone that may become the first aircraft to fly across Mars. This craft will join oddly named and shaped spacecrafts before it, including the MOOSE. Officially called the Manned Orbital Operations Safety Equipment (and unofficially known as Man Out of Space Easiest), MOOSE was an emergency bail-out spacecraft designed by GE during the 60’s Apollo missions. An astronaut would deploy MOOSE to return safely to earth from orbit, enveloping themselves in a protective foam and releasing a parachute after entering into the atmosphere. Read more about MOOSE at GE Reports.

Why not just bring back the badges and mayorship as they were in old Foursquare? Foursquare should first decide what they want to be and stick with it.
Your old Foursquare badges and mayorships, evolved into a brand new game on Swarm.
When we first launched Swarm, we focused on helping you quickly find your friends. We wanted to make it easy to see who was nearby and introduced messages so you could effortlessly coordinate meeting up. But we heard time and time again that while Swarm made those serendipitous hangouts possible, it could be more fun. So today, we’re rolling out 100 new stickers, some evolved from your old badges, and a lot of new challenges.
Like with badges, you check in where you go to unlock stickers. But we’ve taken it up a notch by letting you use (and show off) those hard-earned stickers. Add them to check-ins, photos, or send them in messages.
What’s next? You asked for mayorships, so we’ll be bringing them back soon. All your check-ins now will count towards them, so go out there and start conquering your neighborhood.
Get in on the fun by updating Swarm for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone today.
