TRICK#1: VISIT MAJOR CITIES BY EARTH CAM
http://www.earthcam.com/metrocams/
Want to see what's going on right now in Times Square, Red Square, Trafalgar Square, Boston Common, Bourbon Street -- or dozens of popular spots in over 30 cities in the United States -- plus several overseas?

Through the magic of earth cams and the internet you can be a silent observer any time you want. While there you can click on the Earth Cam logo and choose from thousands of additional internet cams to hook up with.

Be careful though -- this can be addictive!

TRICK#2: FIND ANYTHING IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD
http://local.google.com/lochp/
Looking for information that is related to a particular place like a computer repair shop that's nearest to your house. Google "Local" locates neighborhood services and shops by searching billions of pages across the web, then cross-checking those results with Yellow Pages data to pinpoint the local resources you want to find. This unique approach gives you access to the most and most relevant results for your search.

You just include a zip code or the name of a town or city with your request. Your results will appear and can be viewed as a list cross references to a local map.

Great resource - quick and easy!

You can e-mail this unique report to a friend on their birthday, anniversary or other special day. That should get their attention!

GREAT PLACE #2: CHECK OUT REAL ESTATE ON MARS
http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/images.html
Here's the definitive place to get all of the information on Mars real estate -- brought to you by NASA and the Jet Prolusion Laboratory. You can view raw footage, panorama views, and 3-D images from both the Sprit and Opportunity Rovers.

And, if you want to "ride along" on the trip from lift off to touchdown and ride the Rover vehicle launched on the moon, just sit back and enjoy a short clip detailing every move along the way. (Give the movie clip some time to open. A hi speed connection is best and Real Player is required.) Click here. Most who have seen this exciting clip agree it is better than any full length futuristic movie you've ever seen. And once you've seen it you can tell everyone how we did it!
