The Huffington Post has kindly done the research for you on finding apps for your phone and compiled a list of the 5 best.  Now you can carry that book with you even though your Kindle is at home.  Interestingly enough they also polled their readers to ask, “What literary character would you most like to have over for Thanksgiving dinner?”. Their results?  You will have to read for yourself to see who the majority would like to share their turkey with!

What does that mean? Well, textorize means to create an image just using text. Are you thinking I could never do that? Well the nice people at flickr have read your mind and have software that does it for you. Enter text into the program, and it will use that text to create your image. Impress your friends (parent, pet) with your own text picture of them. How cool!

Is it possible to download movies legally, and for free? Well if you go to download squad’s “Five Places to Legally Download Movies” you will learn the answer to this question is “True”.

Because you feel like you aren’t needed in the kitchen? Or, you don’t like what’s in the kitchen? Well with the help of the internet you can add your own special touch on the Thanksgiving table, painlessly.

And Reader’s Digest has a section just on Thanksgiving appetizers that are quick and easy. So score big points with your family and get what you want this year by making your own contribution. Watch out cranberry sauce, this may be your last year on the table!

Yes time to channel your inner artist!  You know what we mean…so sharpen up those knives for carving your Jack O’ Lanterns.  We have found a few sites that can help to guide you, including one featuring carving cannabalistic pumpkins (you will just have to see it to believe it), ones with pumpkin carving patterns,  and the mother of all pumpkin carving advice sites: extremepumpkins.com.  But what if you heart pumpkins and don’t want to carve them?  Well you can roast the seeds and just add on decorative accents to your orange friend.  But remember, you will eventually have to let him go…so why not make him snazzy now?

In the spirit of upcoming Halloween, we would like to point out things that should be scary but aren’t.  For example did you know the most poisonous animal is not a snake or a spider but instead a beautiful little frog? Here’s a link to some real stunners.  Another link to some outrageous looking moths, including the Deaths Head Moth, will have you not even turning on your porch light.  And a link to the scariest animals in nature includes jellyfish, crocodiles, and sharks will keep you from ever going into the water again.  At least if you do go in the water you will avoid the mosquito, which the site considers the scariest of all.  Sharks everywhere beg to differ…

Did you just have a panic attack reading those words?  Well take a deep breath and keep reading.  Your career should mesh with your personality and fortunately for you there are many tools on line that can help you figure out what personality type you are, and then help find a career that will match it. On the ivillage website is a short assessment and the Princeton Review has a short but informative quiz. Ready to really take charge?  More in depth questionnaires can be found at the About website. Good Luck!

What? Did we say free? Yes! And who doesn’t love free stuff. What kind of stuff you ask? Well you need to click the links to find out.  Teen freeway was one we found, Ask.com had a long list of freebie sites, and The Free Site had a 4 star rating from Stumble Upon.   A  mother actually has a whole blog about getting free stuff.   You probably do not need to be warned but be careful in sharing your email address with sites.  Unless of course, you love junk email…

Of course we love them.  We have homework, but we love the games more.  In the Crazy Ladybugs Game the object is to have the lady bugs merge by clicking the mouse to direct them to run at each other. Starts easy, but gets harder as you go. A fun commentary accompanies the game in Japanese…even though I don’t understand it, it sounds very cute.  And Free On Line Games has many free games too, a personal favorite is: School Bus License.  I think some of my bus drivers must have gotten their license here…
