Real Age Test:  Answer a series of questions to find out how old you really are based on your health habits, family medical history and a few other questions.   I’m really 32, but the test puts me at good ol’ 26!!   That’s good to hear.  Though, I don’t think I look 26.. 

NakedAlarmClock.com - ok, it has nothing to do with nudity.  The programmers just thought having the word in the name might help you remember it.   InternetAlarmClock would have worked too.. but O.K.     Pretty nifty web page, that’s whole purpose is to work as an alarm clock.  Choose from a few different alarms that are all just as annoying as the alarm clock that wakes you up every morning.   Bleh!    Number 4 is my favorite.

I was so busy last week, I would open up links people sent me and not even have a chance to look at them.  I found this “arms - flash animation/game” in my Firefox tabs this morning.   So -  thanks to whoever sent it, it’s quite interesting.  I suppose it’s not really a game, but it is pretty neat to toss the ball back and forth.  

Not only am I a technology geek, I’m also a cheapskate. I love deals or freebies - really, who doesn’t?! I was leery as I pulled up through the McDonald’s drive-thru today wondering if I was getting roped into a combo meal or something. As I pulled in, there it was - the sign that read “Free Iced Coffee Wednesday.” I didn’t catch the time, but I think from what I remember on the t.v. commercial it’s from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. I ordered my FREE iced coffee. She asked if I wanted a latte or a mocha. “Latte please!” I watched the computer screen ring up to $2.79 - then suddenly jump to FREE. I pulled through, got a receipt at the pay window, then pulled up and was handed a good sized iced coffee and a straw.

I’m actually really surprised by this coffee. It’s top notch. Some coffee shops iced coffees almost have a burnt coffee bean taste to them and are just way too sweet. This definitely has the “coffee shop/starbucks” flavor of a real iced latte, but is pretty perfect as far as the sweetness/strong coffee flavor goes. I’ll have to see if it gets me moving this morning - that’s the real test!

I can’t figure out if this is for real, or just a joke - but whatever, I’m for it! Click the picture for more info.

Ever have someone call you and you wonder where the number came from? This website can tell you a fairly close proximity. Type in the area code and first 3 digits and the map will pinpoint a general area. Pretty neat.

A pretty useless but fun site that allows you to draw a picture, submit.. and then you get one in return that someone else drew. Probably a good one to keep kids busy for hours.. or at least 10 minutes.
