Kevins Tips

This is a really Cool Website and a simple but very useful tool.

How many times do we have friends, family, or maybe a date and we want to split the drive evenly.  Sometimes it’s difficult to find a good spot somewhere in the middle, and even if you do, maybe you don’t know any place to eat or meet in that area.

You can find restaurants, movie theaters, coffee shops (Starbucks, Dunkin Doughnuts, etc), golf courses, camp grounds, nightlife (bars, pubs, nightclubs, etc), and more.

Well that’s why “Happy Median” was created, to do just that.

“HappyMedian was founded in February 2005 with the intention of making it easier for people to find a place to meet. We enable old friends and new, singles (and not so singles), family, and business acquaintances to find places between them that are convenient to all.

You tell us where everyone is coming from…we’ll find you places to meet in a way that no one else can.

In more detailed terms, HappyMedian allows a user to enter two to four towns representing each person wishing to meet, via zip code or a city and state combination. This information allows HappyMedian to find the most fairly equidistant towns between those entered. We then provide the user with a list of various types of places to meet, from restaurants and bars to coffee shops and lodging.”

I came across this site the other day.  The images are truly wonderful to view.  They provide a 360 view of many many places from Paris, to Switzerland, to many major New Years Events.

It’s an awesome thing to check out.

If you live in (or near) Boston, Key West, San Diego, Savannah, St. Augustine or Washington DC, you can get a FREE Trolley Tour.

Historic Tours of America offers a FREE residence pass to residents of the area, when they bring along a paying guest. This company includes Old Town Trolley, Seal Tours, DC Ducks (aka Duck Tours), Key West Railroad, Little White House, Key West Shipwreck Historeum Museum, Ghosts & Gravestones, Boston Tea Party Ship & Museum, and more.

A great deal for those of us that live in or near a touristy area, but don’t want to pay for tours every time someone new comes to visit.

Do you know what’s in your wallet?

Do you know your credit card numbers?

Do you know your drivers license number?

Here’s a simple, straight forward tip that may help you immensely in an emergency.

Next time you are near a photo copier, take everything in your wallet (credit cards, drivers license, etc) and make photo copies - front and back of each item. You can usually get a few credit cards or items on a single page. Do this once or twice a year.

Take those copies and place them in a safe place at home, or in a bank vault.

Should you ever have your wallet stolen or lose it somewhere, you’ll know exactly what was in it, and you’ll know who to call (why you copied the back of everything too).

Be Safe!

I can’t describe this, you just have to see it. I was quite fascinated by his 2008 video.
