If you’ve never been the website FMyLife, it’s kind of like Twitter for losers who just can’t get a break… people post very short anecdotes about how F’d their lives are, always ending with the abbreviated mantra “FML”, and then the rest of the world votes on whether the person’s life is truly F’d or if they got what they deserved. A typical FML goes like this:

Today, I got kicked in the face at a soccer game. Everybody clapped. FML

Most are two or three sentences, but you get the idea. F-MyLife by enormego is one of several iPhone versions of the FML website (not sure which is “official”, if any) and if you enjoy basking in other people’s misery this app is a must-have! I personally believe that at least half the FMLs posted on the site are fake, but eh whatever… it’s entertaining and the app lets you vote and read comments, so if you need yet another time waster then grab this freebie. Posting and commenting aren’t available yet, but will be soon.

I remember being kind of disappointed last summer when the iPhone 3G was first released because it didn’t have a radio tuner. Why? I dunno! I never listen to the radio, but for some reason I wanted it. Then came the flood of internet radio apps which seemed like a good enough substitute but there was still something missing… what if I wanted to wake up to the radio instead of one of the iPhone’s built-in ringtones?

Apparently Alexandre Pestre also prefers waking up to the radio, so he built MyClockRadio for exactly this purpose. MyClockRadio comes equipped with a bunch of preset internet radio stations from several different countries… USA, France, and Germany among them… and it also lets you add your own internet radio URL if the one you want isn’t already listed. The app isn’t what you’d call “pretty” but it works as advertised when running on WiFi, and like a lot of internet radio apps things get pretty spotty on Edge.
