SMS Backup+ Android App

Recently the Android app I had been using to backup my SMS/MMS messages became unsupported, so I looked around for an alternative.

At the moment, it looks like SMS Backup+ is the best tool for the job.

It will backup SMS, MMS attachments, and the call log to Gmail and assign a label to them. It also has a range of other settings, like syncing the call log with Google Calendar.

And, on top of that, the app is free and ad-free (I did send a $5 donation as the app was easily worth that much to me).

One-12 Collective Shazam

One the one hand, it is a bit absurd for Mezco to create this One-12 collective line of action figures. I guess 1:12 scale just sounds a lot sexier than saying these are standard 6-inch action figures. And you need all the sexy you can get when you’re charging almost $100 for a 6-inch action figure.

On the other hand, wow. Thirty-two points of articulation, three separate head sculpts and sets of hands, an attachable lightning bolt, and Mr. Atom and Mr. Mind figures included in the package. If Shazam is your thing, this may be fairly close to a definitive action figure version.
