If you love shooting zombies and poking fun at hipster culture, there is one way to satisfy both of your cravings.  Hipster Zombies is a fun light hearted game for Android (and iOS, but ehh) in which you fight off undead hipsters armed with what else but a gun that fires cans of PBR and other hipster paraphernalia. As you kill the undead you gain coins which you can use to upgrade weapons or buy new ones such as vinyl records and mason jars.  You can also purchase coins from the game store. Occasionally you gain extra coins for "ironic kills" destroying the brain munching scenesters with a taste of there own medicine, pipe smoking hipsters with tobacco pipes, biking hipsters with a "fixie fork", etc. You unlock different location to defend the more zombies you kill.  These locations become more and more difficult to defend as you go along.  The area you need to defend grows larger giving the zombies more points of attack.

    I've been reading  Winnie the Pooh  by A. A. Milne to my almost 2 year old daughter over the last couple of months.  I'm not sure if you could so much call Pooh a novel as a series of short stories (though the stories are connected somewhat).  One thing I did not know before reading the book was that it is a series of stories that Milne wrote for his son Christopher Robin.  Reading the book knowing this gives a perspective making the book even sweeter than just some cute, whimsical stories being written for just any child.     I really liked the book.  I can not say for sure that the book is great for children or anything.  I mean my daughter liked it but I think right now she just likes it when I read anything to her.  But the stories are definitely simple and entertaining.  There are some bits of the book that I think might go over the head of children, the subtle arrogance of som...
