Schmap Offers iPhone-Friendly Travel Guides


Free travel guide site Schmap has crafted a pretty nifty interface for iPhone and iPod touch users looking for spots to hit while traveling. Navigate to the city you’re traveling through, pick a category like restaurants or banks, and scroll through the vertical list of results. Flip your iPhone/touch sideways, and points from the section of the list you were scrolling through are mapped out, and contact and directions info are provided when tapped. Pretty handy for finding notable spots nearby without having to cross over applications. Point your iPhone or iPod touch to the link below to access the web app (but regular browsers can head there as well).

Child using a mobile phone

I’ll bet it applies to watching TV and/or playing console games as well as working on the computer!

Make Your Own Microwave Heating Pad
clipped from tipnut.com

Instead of using electric heat pads & blankets or hot water bottles for your aches and pains, these microwaveable bags are just the ticket! They’re known by a few different terms such as: bed buddies, stress busters, magic bags, corn cozies, rice bags–but they’re basically all the same thing.
Always wondered about making these and they are as simple to make as I suspected!
