Can a website take you away from your desk and bring you right back to your childhood? This one can. I Found My Childhood on eBay is a blog from Karen Chappell (of the also great Bitstop.ca). Karen posts pictures of items she remembers from childhood and finds on eBay. There are plenty of memories there, from Hinterland Who’s Who booklets to an old calculator to a Veg-O-Matic. If you’re tech-reluctant, I’m just guessing that you’re probably old enough to get a pleasant smile from the pictures on her blog. Beware though, it can be addictive and you might find yourself staying up late or missing that deadline because you got caught up in all the reminiscing.

Maybe you’re a bit thumbs-challenged and can’t type very well on your cell phone. But maybe you like the idea of sending a quick message to a friend who’s on the go or to your husband in order to remind him to pick up milk or you just want to send your text message for free. Well, you can send text messages to a cell phone from the web. Most cell phone companies provide online text messaging (see a short list below) or you can go somewhere like txtdrop.com and text message away. If your provider’s link is not here, just google your providers name and “online text messaging”. If txtdrop.com is not your cup of tea, just google “online text messaging”.
