Movie Info on Google

Google has added a new "movie:" operator, so you can search for movie information quickly. On Google's Blog, they suggest using it to find recommendations ( movie:chick flicks).
You can also use the operator (movie:) followed by your zip code to find movie times in your area.
Have fun with this new tool on this Oscar weekend.

Daily Candy Newsletters

DailyCandy.com offers an electronic newsletter that is emailed to you daily. The newsletters give you the lastest on travel, art, culture, fashion, restaurants, and gifts. They do offer city-specific newsletters for New York, Chicago, Boston, San Francisco and LA. If you do not live in any the cities they feature, they do have a newsletter called "Everywhere." They do describe their newsletters "like getting email from a clever, unpredictable, and totally in-the know best friend." Hey.. what else can you ask for :). Enjoy.

Ta-Da List

For all the list makers out there... (you know who you are!) I found this great new FREE web-based tool, Ta-Da Lists (http://www.tadalist.com). Lists can be made and can be retrieved as long as you have the Internet. Another great thing - you can share the lists with others, which would be great for collaboration. Ta-Da also offers a RSS feed for the lists.
Have fun making lists and of course, the most fun part, have fun checking things off.
