The McSweeney’s app is essentially a mini-subscription to a variety of McSweeney’s content. It gives you access to the free stuff that the website posts every day, but then every week you get a “Small Chair” update. These will be articles from the print versions of McSweeney’s or The Believer or a short video from Wolphin. This weekly content is not available on the website, just in the various hard-copy versions of their publications.

The price of $US6 for six months seems pretty reasonable to me, especially for casual fans of the McSweeney’s output who don’t have the time/energy for the normal subscriptions. Think of it as a best-of subscription, I guess. [McSweeney's App (iTunes Link) via McSweeney's]

Since becoming a GEICO customer in January of this year, you have reported 131 accidents, requesting reimbursement for repairs necessitated by each one. You have claimed not to be responsible in any of them, usually listing the cause of the accident as either “Sneak attack by Decepticons” or “Unavoidable damage caused by protecting freedom for all sentient beings.”
