Here's a cool website for people who love taking road trips. Trippish.com is a free service that gives users driving directions and weather forecasts for specific routes. All you need to do is input the start and end points (street address, city and state or zip code). Enter in the departure time and/or estimated average driving speed for more detailed and accurate forecasts. It will even provide advice on better times to leave but there’s a disclaimer (where they misspell responsible) that time and distances of trips are approximated.
Do you have left over European currency that's been lying around in a drawer for years because it's from a country that switched to the euro and you never got around to converting it? If yes, don't fret because there's a place that still takes most dated European bank notes (here's the list http://www.thecurrencycommission.com/faq-currency.html) and will convert them to either euros, US or even Canadian dollars. However, your leftover coins are going to have to be a souvenir since they’re not accepted -- I give mine to school-aged kids.
In case you missed this week's 60 Minutes, which featured exclusive interviews with the hero crew of Flight 1549 that crashed into the Hudson River on January 15th, here's a link so you can watch it online in high quality. The only thing you have to deal with is the 20-second commercial before each segment (there are three) but that's it. It's actually better than watching it on T.V. I don't know about you but, like many people from around the world, Captain Sullenberger has captured my heart with his cool, calm, collective demeanor and heroics. It's nice to have a real life hero that you can look up to and honor for their hard work.
Over the past 2 1/2 years, I have struggled to find the perfect iPhone case. Well, now I’ve found what I was looking for. The iPhone 3G Impact case is the perfect blend of style and protection. The tapered grip on the case is easy to hold and the reinforced edges are strong but not bulky. OtterBox cases are dedicated to all the klutzy, spontaneous, chaotic and graceless individuals who have broken a device or valuable due to their active lifestyles. They have cases for a variety of phones and mp3 players, all at a very reasonable price point. The iPhone 3G Impact case is the only case that all of my friends with iPhones were begging me for. Check them out ... you won't be disappointed! ¬¬–Kevin O’Connor
