We don't have an operating system we could fall in love with, but we do have Siri. We may not have a company devoted to writing personal letters to our loved ones, but we do have an app on the personal computers we carry with us that lets us do it without the \"trouble\" of buying a card and a stamp at the store.<p>That app is called Inkly.<p>Inkly came out in 2012 and lets you send digital greeting cards using your own handwriting or one of 30 preset fonts.<p>Here's how it works:<p><b>Write your message using a regular piece of paper and and a pen.</b><p><b>Take a photo of it using the Inkly Cards app.</b><p><b>Inkly</b><p><b>The app will then scan the paper taking just your handwritten message and pop it on the inside of your card. You can choose from hundreds of cards. I wrote this for my mom:</b><p><b>Inkly</b><p><b>Inkly</b><p><b>Then you do the same for your envelope, pay for the card (around $3), and a real card with your real handwriting is delivered to its intended recipient.</b>","sourceURL":"http://www.businessinsider.com/inkly-greeting-cards-in-her-2014-1","allowFullscreenImage":true,"inlineImage":{"mediumURL":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/businessinsider.com/2043d17c3ab1ab474dc3b75435d224d18506a1a4/original.jpg","smallURL":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/businessinsider.com/2043d17c3ab1ab474dc3b75435d224d18506a1a4/thumbnail.jpg","original_width":480,"original_height":360,"original_hints":"color,focus-240-180,photo,rgb-148-123-97,still"},"readButtonCaption":"Read Article","sourceMagazineURL":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/flipmag?url=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn.flipboard.com%2Fbusinessinsider.com%2F7e7a99171092141184f947e33c02260b67486397%2Ff28d9ba8a7728a9ab708bb4bf184d68f92d015ed%2Farticle.html&partner=business-insider&tml§ion=flipboard%2Fcurator%252Fmagazine%252FeSm1oddzS6eaNSy1ADh6Vw%253Am%253A3624416&fallbackTml","language":"en","article":{"sectionID":"flipboard/curator%2Fmagazine%2FeSm1oddzS6eaNSy1ADh6Vw%3Am%3A3624416","partnerID":"business-insider","url":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/businessinsider.com/7e7a99171092141184f947e33c02260b67486397/f28d9ba8a7728a9ab708bb4bf184d68f92d015ed/article.html"},"authorDisplayName":"Business Insider","authorImage":{"smallURL":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/dev_O/featured/30762171/business-insider-200.png"},"referredByItems":[{"type":"status","authorDisplayName":"vonnb","authorUsername":"vonnb","userid":"3624416","authorDescription":"student of urban lifestyle / trends, content producer and curator, political junkie, foodie Commute between Houston and Los Angeles @vonnb","authorImage":{"smallURL":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/uploads/avatar/5dc51c0322b1c450d609f5953c802a0fab498f16.jpg"},"text":"","urls":["http://www.businessinsider.com/inkly-greeting-cards-in-her-2014-1"],"service":"flipboard","remoteServiceItemID":"QTJLpSBgRoCF3ippUj89rg:a:3624416","dateCreated":1390292575,"ingestionTime":1390368827,"sectionLinks":[{"type":"author","service":"flipboard","remoteid":"flipboard/user%2F3624416","title":"vonnb","linkType":"user","username":"vonnb","userID":"3624416","image":{"smallURL":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/uploads/avatar/5dc51c0322b1c450d609f5953c802a0fab498f16.jpg"},"description":"student of urban lifestyle / trends, content producer and curator, political junkie, foodie Commute between Houston and Los Angeles @vonnb"},{"type":"magazine","service":"flipboard","remoteid":"flipboard/curator%2Fmagazine%2FeSm1oddzS6eaNSy1ADh6Vw%3Am%3A3624416","title":"music, culture, film + tv, style, tech | urban247","referringText":"music, culture, film + tv, style, tech | urban247","image":{"smallURL":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/businessinsider.com/ad9bafd3282e79a3cd3b64a60ec3bcebd3727e81/original.jpg"}}],"id":"flipboard-QTJLpSBgRoCF3ippUj89rg:a:3624416-1390292575"}],"service":"flipboard","remoteServiceItemID":"QTJLpSBgRoCF3ippUj89rg:a:3624416","dateCreated":1390292575,"ingestionTime":1390368827,"sectionLinks":[{"type":"author","service":"flipboard","remoteid":"flipboard/mix%2F30762171","title":"Business Insider","referringText":"Business Insider","linkType":"user","image":{"smallURL":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/dev_O/featured/30762171/business-insider-200.png"}}],"partnerID":"business-insider","flipboardSocialId":"flipboard-QTJLpSBgRoCF3ippUj89rg:a:3624416-1390292575","sectionID":"flipboard/curator%2Fmagazine%2FeSm1oddzS6eaNSy1ADh6Vw%3Am%3A3624416","time":6,"count":3,"rssText":null},{"id":"flipboard-u1jO_pVhTVSfyHlJ57ugxw:a:3624416-1390292297","hashCode":1992897373,"sortValue":31113311173954,"type":"post","title":"Tour The Brooklyn Neighborhood That's Become New York's New Street Art Mecca","excerptText":"Queens' longtime graffiti mecca 5Pointz was recently whitewashed ahead of its imminent demolition, to be replaced by luxury condos.<p>But street art culture is alive and well in other parts of the city. In Brooklyn, the Bushwick Collective at Troutman Street and St. Nicholas Avenue is emerging as a new destination for street artists.<p>Joseph Ficalora, a longtime neighborhood resident, curates the vast outdoor art gallery. He's thrilled with the transformation after seeing crime and graffiti plague the area.<p>Ficalora, whose family owns a steel fabrication plant in Bushwick, coordinated with other local building owners to find and provide empty walls for street artists. They have come from as far as France and Italy, as well as right here in the U.S. like the Iranian duo Icy and Sot, who moved for political asylum.<p>\"The place is buzzing,\" street art aficionado Spencer Elzey told Business Insider. \"There are cycles where two or three new walls go up in a week or two.\"<p>Elzey gave us an insider's tour of the Bushwick Collective, starting at Jefferson Street and Wyckoff Avenue.<p>0<p>Here's What New York Graffiti Mecca 5Pointz Looked Like Before It Was Whitewashed Last Night >","sourceURL":"http://www.businessinsider.com/bushwick-collective-street-art-2014-1","allowFullscreenImage":true,"hideOnCover":true,"inlineImage":{"largeURL":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/businessinsider.com/ad9bafd3282e79a3cd3b64a60ec3bcebd3727e81/original.jpg","mediumURL":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/businessinsider.com/ad9bafd3282e79a3cd3b64a60ec3bcebd3727e81/medium.jpg","smallURL":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/businessinsider.com/ad9bafd3282e79a3cd3b64a60ec3bcebd3727e81/thumbnail.jpg","original_width":1200,"original_height":900,"original_hints":"color,crop-0-0-1225-900,focus-600-450,hires,imgnsfw-0,photo,rgb-72-62-67,still"},"readButtonCaption":"Read Article","sourceMagazineURL":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/flipmag?url=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn.flipboard.com%2Fbusinessinsider.com%2Fe227d084310e1e9ceae9c361d14d7574e83c4def%2F9fe100806fa1b500158a312a9f5d5ac6ec844628%2Farticle.html&partner=business-insider&tml§ion=flipboard%2Fcurator%252Fmagazine%252FeSm1oddzS6eaNSy1ADh6Vw%253Am%253A3624416&fallbackTml","language":"en","article":{"sectionID":"flipboard/curator%2Fmagazine%2FeSm1oddzS6eaNSy1ADh6Vw%3Am%3A3624416","partnerID":"business-insider","url":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/businessinsider.com/e227d084310e1e9ceae9c361d14d7574e83c4def/9fe100806fa1b500158a312a9f5d5ac6ec844628/article.html"},"authorDisplayName":"Business Insider","authorImage":{"smallURL":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/dev_O/featured/30762171/business-insider-200.png"},"referredByItems":[{"type":"status","authorDisplayName":"vonnb","authorUsername":"vonnb","userid":"3624416","authorDescription":"student of urban lifestyle / trends, content producer and curator, political junkie, foodie Commute between Houston and Los Angeles @vonnb","authorImage":{"smallURL":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/uploads/avatar/5dc51c0322b1c450d609f5953c802a0fab498f16.jpg"},"text":"","urls":["http://www.businessinsider.com/bushwick-collective-street-art-2014-1"],"service":"flipboard","remoteServiceItemID":"u1jO_pVhTVSfyHlJ57ugxw:a:3624416","dateCreated":1390292297,"ingestionTime":1390368827,"sectionLinks":[{"type":"author","service":"flipboard","remoteid":"flipboard/user%2F3624416","title":"vonnb","linkType":"user","username":"vonnb","userID":"3624416","image":{"smallURL":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/uploads/avatar/5dc51c0322b1c450d609f5953c802a0fab498f16.jpg"},"description":"student of urban lifestyle / trends, content producer and curator, political junkie, foodie Commute between Houston and Los Angeles @vonnb"},{"type":"magazine","service":"flipboard","remoteid":"flipboard/curator%2Fmagazine%2FeSm1oddzS6eaNSy1ADh6Vw%3Am%3A3624416","title":"music, culture, film + tv, style, tech | urban247","referringText":"music, culture, film + tv, style, tech | urban247","image":{"smallURL":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/businessinsider.com/ad9bafd3282e79a3cd3b64a60ec3bcebd3727e81/original.jpg"}}],"id":"flipboard-u1jO_pVhTVSfyHlJ57ugxw:a:3624416-1390292297"}],"service":"flipboard","remoteServiceItemID":"u1jO_pVhTVSfyHlJ57ugxw:a:3624416","dateCreated":1390292297,"ingestionTime":1390368827,"sectionLinks":[{"type":"author","service":"flipboard","remoteid":"flipboard/mix%2F30762171","title":"Business Insider","referringText":"Business Insider","linkType":"user","image":{"smallURL":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/dev_O/featured/30762171/business-insider-200.png"}}],"partnerID":"business-insider","flipboardSocialId":"flipboard-u1jO_pVhTVSfyHlJ57ugxw:a:3624416-1390292297","sectionID":"flipboard/curator%2Fmagazine%2FeSm1oddzS6eaNSy1ADh6Vw%3Am%3A3624416","time":7,"count":4,"rssText":null},{"id":"flipboard-KpAlDMciS9GSXYGVxboxMA:a:3624416-1390292064","hashCode":4258676848,"sortValue":31113311173953,"type":"post","title":"Here's How Richard Branson Got His Big Break","excerptText":"Watch Sir Richard Branson, one of the most popular and active entrepreneurs and billionaires in the world, talk about the one deal that opened the doors to fame and fortune, and the business strategies that got him there.<p><i>Produced by Justin Gmoser;

2014: Who'll be this year's Esperanza Spalding?","excerptText":"Reporter's Notebook: The jazz vocalist category features rising singers Gregory Porter and Cécile McLorin Salvant, whose presence reflects a welcome burst of new energy.<p>When Esperanza Spalding was named best new artist at the 2011 Grammys, not even the most ardent jazz fan dared believe this would usher in a new era for a marginalized genre long left out of the major award categories.<p>Still, there was hope. Beyond the pop cultural footprint generated by Spalding's memorable coif, numerous high-profile performances and cover-ready good looks, there were acres of talent.<p>In addition to top-notch musicianship, Spalding delivered a unique vision of her musical makeup. Offering a sonic portrait of a personality as much as an artist, Spalding side-stepped the \"Big Three\" vocal touchstones of Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday and Sarah Vaughan and nodded toward R&B and Brazilian music with her 2010 album, \"Chamber Music Society.\"<p>Had a new jazz age begun? Not on any charts that Billboard follows. But the echo from Spalding's left-field win can still be heard, and not just in her continued rise.<p>This year, the jazz vocal category is again home to some of the genre's most talked about artists of the year, Gregory Porter and Cécile McLorin Salvant. The rise of both singers draws a dotted line to Spalding with unique, differing approaches that infuse the genre with yet more life.<p>Not that the jazz vocal category ever wanted for talent, but its voices had begun to sound familiar. Kurt Elling, Cassandra Wilson and Dianne Reeves are a few of the unimpeachable artists whom voters repeatedly recognized in recent years, while other choices (Diana Krall, Al Jarreau) contributed to an impression that the category remained a beloved but refined corner of the genre that often leaned toward the middle of the road, if not the middle aged.<p>Besides, one of the most powerful components of jazz is its ability to say something beyond words. Once you get beyond those voices that have shaped the genre, vocals often just get in the way.<p>But recent years have seen a wealth of fresh vocal talent, including the post-D'Angelo soul-jazz of Porter's Blue Note labelmate José James and one of Spalding's former collaborators, Gretchen Parlato.

On December 29th of last year, a British 19 year old, home for the holidays and geeked on meow meow, stabbed his mother before cutting off his own penis with the same knife. According to <i>The Mirror</i>, police responded to an emergency call placed by his mother, 46, and discovered the son \"hanging out of a bedroom window with blood pouring from his wounds.\" As of early January, the mother was in stable condition, and the son's penis had been reattached. \"He is normally a very lovely lad and very bright,\" reported a family friend. \"But unfortunately, he had started dabbling in drugs.\" Yes, very unfortunately.<p>So what type of intoxicant could drive a level-headed teen to such a far corner of berzerk? Meow meow's scientific name is \"mephedrone,\" and the drug is a type of designer amphetamine that produces effects similar to those of both MDMA and cocaine, including everyone's favorite drug byproduct, teeth grinding. Meow meow's proliferation began around 2007, when it started popping up for sale on the Internet; like other designer drugs such as synthetic weed, it was created as a means of sidestepping pre-existing bans on Schedule 1 drugs like its aforementioned analogues.<p>Cheap to synthesize and easy to get online, the DEA first identified mephedrone as a problem in 2011, approximately two years after it entered the United States, identifying it — and here's where the penis-chopping comes in — as bath salts. (Bath salts are generally defined as synthetic cathinones, which include, but are not limited to, mephedrone, as the latter is a synthesis of cathinones and amphetemines. Party!) In November 2011, mephedrone was categorized as a Schedule 1 drug in the United States, \"part of a large-scale crackdown on substances being sold on the Internet and at places like smoke shops, head shops, convenience stores, adult book stores and gas stations,\" according to the DEA as well as those being marketed as plant food, research chemicals or bath salts. The rescheduling came one month after a Kentucky father and his two sons were handed down federal prison sentences for distributing 17 kilos of mephedrone across Eastern Kentuc …","sourceURL":"http://www.rollingstone.com/culture/news/what-is-meow-meow-the-drug-that-made-a-teen-cut-off-his-genitals-20140117","allowFullscreenImage":true,"inlineImage":{"mediumURL":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/rollingstone.com/383b3593aad2ebfa128fe6a20a7f49aefd9b728b/original.jpg","smallURL":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/rollingstone.com/383b3593aad2ebfa128fe6a20a7f49aefd9b728b/thumbnail.jpg","original_width":600,"original_height":390,"original_hints":"color,focus-300-195,photo,rgb-68-100-75,still"},"readButtonCaption":"Read Article","sourceMagazineURL":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/flipmag?url=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn.flipboard.com%2Frollingstone.com%2F3597c3c0396dacf91fdad07b51ffc2acca3027ec%2F34669a0e0711eeb51180da8cc717ae5760719154%2Farticle.html&partner=rs&tml§ion=flipboard%2Fcurator%252Fmagazine%252FeSm1oddzS6eaNSy1ADh6Vw%253Am%253A3624416&fallbackTml","language":"en","article":{"sectionID":"flipboard/curator%2Fmagazine%2FeSm1oddzS6eaNSy1ADh6Vw%3Am%3A3624416","partnerID":"rs","url":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/rollingstone.com/3597c3c0396dacf91fdad07b51ffc2acca3027ec/34669a0e0711eeb51180da8cc717ae5760719154/article.html"},"authorDisplayName":"By Julianne Escobedo Shepherd","authorImage":{"smallURL":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/dev_O/featured/30194522/rolling-stone-200.png"},"referredByItems":[{"type":"status","authorDisplayName":"vonnb","authorUsername":"vonnb","userid":"3624416","authorDescription":"student of urban lifestyle / trends, content producer and curator, political junkie, foodie Commute between Houston and Los Angeles @vonnb","authorImage":{"smallURL":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/uploads/avatar/5dc51c0322b1c450d609f5953c802a0fab498f16.jpg"},"text":"","urls":["http://www.rollingstone.com/culture/news/what-is-meow-meow-the-drug-that-made-a-teen-cut-off-his-genitals-20140117"],"service":"flipboard","remoteServiceItemID":"k30kMCuJSoS5pGlKowpm_w:a:3624416","dateCreated":1389978601,"ingestionTime":1390368827,"sectionLinks":[{"type":"author","service":"flipboard","remoteid":"flipboard/user%2F3624416","title":"vonnb","linkType":"user","username":"vonnb","userID":"3624416","image":{"smallURL":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/uploads/avatar/5dc51c0322b1c450d609f5953c802a0fab498f16.jpg"},"description":"student of urban lifestyle / trends, content producer and curator, political junkie, foodie Commute between Houston and Los Angeles @vonnb"},{"type":"magazine","service":"flipboard","remoteid":"flipboard/curator%2Fmagazine%2FeSm1oddzS6eaNSy1ADh6Vw%3Am%3A3624416","title":"music, culture, film + tv, style, tech | urban247","referringText":"music, culture, film + tv, style, tech | urban247","image":{"smallURL":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/businessinsider.com/ad9bafd3282e79a3cd3b64a60ec3bcebd3727e81/original.jpg"}}],"original":{"type":"status","authorDisplayName":"Rolling Stone","authorUsername":"RollingStone","userid":"14780915","authorURL":"https://twitter.com/RollingStone","authorDescription":"The latest news and more from Rolling Stone magazine and http://t.co/QhLIiMncPf.","authorLocation":"New York, New York","authorImage":{"smallURL":"http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1693601337/RS-icon-twitter_normal.jpg"},"text":"What is meow meow, the drug that made a teen cut off his genitals http://t.co/mpYe8Yt5uY","urls":["http://rol.st/1degZBw"],"service":"twitter","remoteServiceItemID":"424210029915684864","dateCreated":1389974527,"ingestionTime":1390368826,"sourceURL":"http://twitter.com/RollingStone/status/424210029915684864","sectionLinks":[{"type":"author","service":"twitter","remoteid":"twitter/user%2Frollingstone","title":"Rolling Stone","sourceURL":"https://twitter.com/RollingStone","linkType":"user","username":"RollingStone","userID":"14780915","image":{"smallURL":"http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1693601337/RS-icon-twitter_normal.jpg"},"description":"The latest news and more from Rolling Stone magazine and http://t.co/QhLIiMncPf."}],"id":"twitter-424210029915684864-1389974527"},"id":"flipboard-k30kMCuJSoS5pGlKowpm_w:a:3624416-1389978601"}],"service":"flipboard","remoteServiceItemID":"k30kMCuJSoS5pGlKowpm_w:a:3624416","dateCreated":1389978601,"ingestionTime":1390368827,"sectionLinks":[{"type":"author","service":"flipboard","remoteid":"flipboard/mix%2F30194522","title":"Rolling Stone","referringText":"Rolling Stone","linkType":"user","image":{"smallURL":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/dev_O/featured/30194522/rolling-stone-200.png"}}],"partnerID":"rs","flipboardSocialId":"flipboard-k30kMCuJSoS5pGlKowpm_w:a:3624416-1389978601","sectionID":"flipboard/curator%2Fmagazine%2FeSm1oddzS6eaNSy1ADh6Vw%3Am%3A3624416","time":12,"count":11,"rssText":null}]

They have come from as far as France and Italy, as well as right here in the U.S. like the Iranian duo Icy and Sot, who moved for political asylum.<p>\"The place is buzzing,\" street art aficionado Spencer Elzey told Business Insider. \"There are cycles where two or three new walls go up in a week or two.\"<p>Elzey gave us an insider's tour of the Bushwick Collective, starting at Jefferson
