Overwhelmed

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by your dreams? Like you want to do a lot of different things at once?

Well, that's exactly how I feel right now. I feel like I've so much I want to do that 24 hours in a day isn't enough. First off, I want to learn photography, may be join a class. In connection with that, I'd like to take a trip to different places and just take pictures - lots of pictures. A Digital SLR camera is already in the works and I may be getting that around the end of this year but that's not an essential. I have my S3 and I want to put that to good use first. I guess I've been bitten by the photography bug huh?

Second on my list is HipHop dance classes. I know, I know, it's quite far out but really, I'd like to try joining a class one of these days. Anyone know any classes?

Third on my list is kick boxing. It interests me because I'd realy love to lose these extra weight.

And last but not the least, is learn how to drive. Well, a car is in plan but not in the nearest future. But hey, it's not bad to learn while the car isnt here - isn't it?

tsk tsk, overwhelming wants. I don't even know if I need these lol!

Afraid of Getting Lost?

I remember working for a Directory Assistance firm a few years back, one of the added value service they offered was Driving Directions. I remember being awed at this technology and was always upbeat when giving my callers some driving directions.

I also remember thinking how neat it would be to get this sevice for free. Well, guess what, there's now a place where you can get directions for free. Public Routes offers free directions and major traffic updates for US and UK residents. What's really neat about this service is you can get directions wether you're traveling by car, bus, train, even if you're just walking! I was used to just giving driving directions to people traveling by car but while walking? W-O-W!

To get directions, you simply put the start and destination address. You get to choose which mode of transportation you want. Then press on "get directions" and voila! You wouldn't have to worry about getting lost anymore. Not only that but you won't worry about traffic as well! With the traffic alerts you can avoid those streets that could take up most of your time.

You can also use the "Map It" feature where you can enter the point of interest you want and the zip code. This feature can also show you nearby bus stops and train stations. Pretty cool huh?

And if you're going to a certain city for the first time, you can get information on the "Local Guide" feature or find flights, hotels and more. Such efficiency!

I just signed up and will tell all my friends too! What about you?
