I have a blast looking around, especially at street view, but I sometimes find myself getting a little confused at the mouse controls when I'm all zoomed in like that. ![]() Well, it's a good thing you aren't constrained to using the mouse, then! Try some of these keyboard controls in to make your Google map experience a little more keyboard friendly! Arrow keys: Move the map up, down, left or right. + key: Zoom in (you can use = instead of + too) - key: Zoom out This is a great alternative to dragging around! ~Andrew No more dragging!

It always seems that the best picture perfect moments happen when you don't have your camera on you. Just like last summer when I took the family to Walt Disney World. We're in Magic Kingdom, my wife had the kids AND the camera all the way across the park, and you'll never believe what happened...right there in plain site...Mickey Mouse was CHOKING Donald Duck!!Talk about a picture perfect moment! Heck, a short video would have been EVEN better! It's super-compact size lets you put it your pocket - without that uncomfortable pocket bulge!

A Supercharger For Your Wireless Internet Connection! WiFi A Little Weak? Wish You Had A Better Signal? Have We Got An Amazing Deal For YOU!!
OK, you know how it is - you set up that new wireless router at home so you can enjoy wireless anywhere in the house. Only problem is, anywhere isn't quite right, is it? Invariably, your router ends up a little too far away from one of the computers and you have to put up with a slow, weak, crappy internet connection! Oh, and how about when you're at a hotel that brags about having "wireless internet"? Yeah, we've all been there - they ALWAYS seem to stick you in a room that's juuusssst out of reach of that wonderful "wireless internet" they claim to have. So, what if there was an ANTENNA you could plug into your laptop or desktop computer that would EASILY pull in those weak signals? Well, we found one! It's a 54Mbps 802.11G adapter with a HUGE antenna! Now, to test this, we had Mike head out of the office and down towards the road with his laptop. He tried to access the network with just the adapter built into the laptop - barely one bar and SLOOOOOW doesn't begin to describe the experience. So, he plugs this bad boy in and BAM! He had 3 bars and WOW!! The surfin' was Ferrari fast!! In short - this baby really WORKS! Setup is a breeze too - it's just a wireless USB internet adapter with a powerful antenna, so just plug it into your computer, run the software, and a few minutes later you're surfing! You can be up to 1600 feet away and STILL pull in a good signal! Now THAT'S impressive!! Plus, if you're using this in a permanent location you can actually attach it to the wall with the included hardware! They thought of everything! Bottom line - if you are sick and tired of weak WiFi signals, it's time to stop the slow, spotty connections and enjoy wicked fast internet again! Your price? Just $29.97 and US shipping is FREE! Heck, you can't buy a standard wireless internet adapter from the big box stores for that kind of money, let alone the superhero of internet adapters! http://store.worldstart.com/product/5412 WARNING - Don't miss out - we have a seriously low quantity on this one!

Cake Nouveau I started working this summer at the college I attend, and my partner in crime on Saturdays also happens to bake wedding cakes in her free time. She showed me this site because the wedding cakes here really inspire her in her own work. Once I saw this cake gallery, I knew I had to share it with all of you. These cakes are amazing! And you know how much I love cake! I suggest that you click the Most Recent Cakes and click on the giraffe cake. It is my absolute favorite cake in the gallery. My next favorite cake is on page 5, and is the Buffy cake. I love the stake through the top layer, and how she created the dripping wax candle, and how she included the Mutant Enemy logo. Just fantastic cake right there, absolutely fantastic! I really appreciate that these cakes are meant to be looked at as art first, and then devoured for their deliciousness. They look quite delectable. There are a lot of gorgeous cakes on this site, so be sure to look through all five galleries. And then if you really want to make your mouth water, just click the Virtual Tasting link at the bottom of the page. Yummy! http://cakenouveau.com/cakes.html ~Amanda I love cake!
