Best Christmas Gift Yet

Of all the gifts I got for Christmas, I have to say that my favorite may just be the one that wasn't on my list.

We got a Tomtom One for Christmas from my DH's company, and I use it all the time now. I'll admit, when it comes to directions, I am not the best. In fact, I usually can't find my way home from a new location without a call to DH asking for help.

Imagine his joy at my getting this gift. Now, I simply put in the destination and the Tomtom One tells me exactly how to get home and even allows me to chose alternate routes if there is a street I want or need to avoid. Not only that, she will also tell me where all the Dunkin Donut shops are along the way. Now that is awesome.

As a busy mom with active kids, this is the perfect toy to have. I can put in all the locations of the football games, swim meets, mathlete competitions, band events and college visits and get there without having to google a location, printing a map and then trying to read a map while I drive, drink coffee and try not to hit anyone. Now I mount the Tomtom One on the windshield enter the address and go.

The Tomtom One comes with 4 voices by default, but more can be downloaded. We opted for a very nice British woman's voice, very James Bondish.

Fun with E-cards

So today was mostly about moving wires and jacks around for an office move that has to happen today, and other than getting to punch down a couple of jacks for the first time (phone and network), I don't have much tech info to share today.

I did however find a fun site that will let you send E-cards to your family and friends using their photos, or your own flickr photos. The site is delivr. I used a stock photo they had and emailed a Happy New Year card to my parents who quickly told me how much they enjoyed it.

Next up, making a personalized thank you card to my brothers to thank them for hosting the Christmas festivities! I could sure waste a lot of time with this fun gadget!
