Theme Song
Note: We mentioned that A Dance of Dragons is the sixth book in The Song of Ice and Fire series, but we don’t know why (wait, we do know: It’s a show that’s recorded live, and sometimes we b0rk things up!). It is, of course, the fifth book in the series.
Note #2: We also mention Swype, the alternative keyboard input system currently available on Android. Swype isn’t yet available for the iPhone (there’s a version available for jailbroken iPhones), but if you’re looking for a different way to type on your iPhone, check out TikiNotes.
