Going on a game drive in the South African bush is an unforgettable experience. Although most wildlife in South Africa is found within the boundaries of vast National Parks, wildlife reserves and private game farms, that by no way implies they are[...]

Why Do People Like to Take Photos of Me Sleeping

post from FelixWong.com on 06 December 2011 10:37:54 PM. © FelixWong.com

There aren’t a whole lot of things I am especially talented at, but being able to sleep in almost any place at any moment seems to be one of them. I have slept in every single car I have owned—a feat noteworthy considering that almost all of them were two-seat convertibles with non-reclining seats—and I’ve [...]

Underground Delay Alarm Clock Android App

post from Going Underground's Blog on 06 December 2011 08:22:16 PM. © Going Underground's Blog

We all know that delays are one of the most common problems that Tube commuters face. There is of course the handy service updates box on the TfL website, which warns you in advance, so you can leave early or take a different route, but in order to check it before you go to work, you would have to get up early every day, even when there are no delays. So wouldn't it be great if you could get an alarm alert only when there are delays without having to check by hand?

Now there's an app for that and it's not an iPhone or iPad get neeed! Here's how the developer describes it: "Underground Alarm is an alarm clock for users of the London Underground (including Overground and DLR). In addition to standard alarm clock features, it can be set to automatically wake you up earlier when there are disruptions on any of the lines you use to get to your destination."

It's a nice and simple app that could make your morning commutes a bit less stressful. There's also a nice little feature where the alarm message is read out like a speaking alarm clock.

It's free for Android phones and you can dowload the Underground Alarm Clock App here.

Italy: Exploring Rome and the Vatican City

post from Ivan About Town | Philippine Travel Journal on 06 December 2011 12:25:01 PM. © Ivan About Town | Philippine Travel Journal

Rome is steeped in history. It no doubt deserves the title Eternal City. In fact, you will see layers of history as you walk its streets and visit the various sites and landmarks which make Rome what it is. We visited the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, Trevi Fountain as well as the Vatican City, among other attractions that make Italy's capital city a must-visit when in Europe. Here are photos of Rome, Itay and Vatican City in the Ivan About Town Facebook page.
