I looked at the web page source code for hidden non-displaying information. I analyzed everything and every angle I could think of [...]

With the launch of Whibbit.com Goundspeaks Signal the Frog is going to get a lot of new playmates visiting his lily pond! A Whibbit is a location-based question asked of one’s friends that is somewhere between 411 and 911 according to the whibbit.com site. I’m not so sure I know what that means without the [...]

Today’s “Tupperware Tuesday” actually has a Tupperware find in it! OK, not Tupperware per-se, actually a small Lock N Lock, but clear plastic none the less!
