Website of the Day: It Made My Day

GeekSugar — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 14:50:05 -0800

Sometimes, you just need a little digital pick-me-up, and today I'm here to bring you exactly that. Today's installment of Website of the Day is not only endlessly entertaining but may even give you a warm, fuzzy feeling inside. It Made My Day is a site where people can submit great moments they come across during their otherwise boring days. For example, my favorite:

This morning, my seven-year-old son showed his excitement for going out to breakfast by doing the Robot

Now if that doesn't make you smile, your geeky heart must be made of stone. IMMD is filled with other awesome stories of the little things that make your day, whether it be witnessing karmic revenge on the person who stole your parking spot or uncovering hilarious mistakes on your righteous co-workers' reports, it's all there. Check it out, and enjoy a good win giggle.

Website of the Day: MSN Twilight

GeekSugar — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 03:50:12 -0800

Only one more day until the highly anticipated New Moon premiere and I know you were just hoping I'd squeeze in one more Twilight tech treat before the big day. And here it is! MSN has launched its very own Twilight website that takes you right to Forks, Washington where all the Twilight excitement takes place.

You'll be able to take virtual tours of the Cullen house, the Forks Police Station, the Forks Hospital, Bella Italia, the dress shop, the bookstore, and the high school. Just don't try opening this site using Firefox on Mac or else you'll get this message (which I thought was pretty cheeky):

"Let's say Firefox on Mac is like a vampire and our video player is like a wolf pack. . . They just don't get along. We don't want you to miss out on the Twilight action though, so try opening our site in Safari for Mac."

Website of the Day: More Cloth

GeekSugar — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 14:15:30 -0800

I'm a total DIY freak, and appreciate websites that help me reach my crafting goals. Take my last DIY project: the charging station I made from an Ikea shelving unit. Now if I wanted to take that a step further, I could add some decorative fabric to the back panels and really make the shelf pop. But how do I find the right fabric? I could browse racks of fabric at my local craft store, or I could do it the easy way (without leaving the warmth of my computer) and hit up More Cloth.

This site works seamlessly with Etsy to lead you to your perfect fabric. First it offers up a ton of color schemes to choose from (like in the photo to the right), and then directs you to the exact fabric patterns that contain those colors. Finally, More Cloth shoots you over to the Etsy page where you can add your chosen fabric to your cart, and prep your craft room accordingly - just sit back and wait for your fabric to arrive!

CellAcademy.com - Wireless Online Learning

kellabella1 — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 10:14:11 -0800

CellAcademy is based on a community who teaches other how to use their cell phone from being basic mobile phones to smartphones. I've found this site to be very helpful with different tips and tricks and it even has a forum where you can ask questions about any phone. The reason this site is different from all the rest of the cell phone sites is that is focuses on wireless knowledge and guidance for everyone and not just a rumor/ news sites for cell phones. Cell Academy offers different sections on their site for different means of teaching, which are The Report Card (Blog), Cellular 101 (Tips and Tricks), and The Lounge (Forum).
The Report Card focuses on a blog for learning the in and outs of different phones and tips of tricks for phones.
Cellular 101 focuses on tips and tricks and also highlights post made in the forum from the community.
The Lounge focuses on being a community that teaches others.
Check out it, I was highly impressed.

Website of the Day: Goby.com

tomsgirl — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 10:02:46 -0800

Another great travel planning site whether you're looking for activities close to home or for your next trip is Goby.com. An activity search engine, Goby.com can search more than 300 categories of “things to do” from museums and holiday events to hiking trails and hotels. Just enter “what, where and when” and be inspired by the myriad of things you can do – whether home or away this holiday season.

Website of the Day: Duffel

GeekSugar — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 14:31:32 -0800

There are a ton of travel planning sites, but I just found my new favorite. Duffel (find the site at duffelup) calls itself "a trip-planning tool for people who are not planning any trips," but it's pretty handy for actual trip planning, too.

Sign into the site to create trips - real or imagined - to any place in the world. Then add the Duffel bookmarking tool to your browser's bookmarks. When you visit sites of interest for your trip - hotels, tours, restaurant listings, or even just a random sentence or two about something cool to do in the area - click the bookmark to save it to your Duffel. You can set saved trip information to public or private, or opt to share them with just a few people, like family or travel partners.

There are more great features on the site, too, from the easy to use drag and drop interface to the incorporation of Google maps to a printable itinerary view condensing all of your saved information into a printable list. Duffel also offers suggestions to popular destinations like New York City or Las Vegas.

I've been having a blast creating and adding to a few "dream" trips I'd like to take . . . now the only problem is figuring out where to go first.

Website of the Day: Apostrophe Me

GeekSugar — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 14:15:54 -0800

Sometimes I just like things explained simply, in good old-fashioned plain English. For instance, it was so liberating when the guys from Commoncraft talked about Twitter in layman's terms, and now with a website called Apostrophe Me, you'll never misuse apostrophes again, thanks to their cute and detailed flow chart. Other things worth checking out on the site? Scroll down to take one of their fun quizzes, like the "How Many Germs Live on Your Cell Phone" test!
