Caroline's Cart

Now this one I think is pretty special.  I first noticed this on Facebook several months ago and thought WOW that is an amazing idea!  Drew Ann Long is the mother of a special needs child Caroline.  She came up with an idea for a shopping cart to make it a LOT easier for parents or caregivers of special needs children through adult to go grocery shopping. This cart has a full sized seat that faces the care giver, and the handle moves out of the way to make it easier to get in and out of.  Check out her website: http://www.carolinescart.com/   I would love to see this in every shopping store.  If you agree, follow Caroline's cart on Facebook.  Let you local grocery store know about them and ask them to get their hands on some.

GMail +1

Here is a neat feature in GMail that I just found out about.  If you add +1 to the end of your email address, before the @gmail.com, then it will still go to your original gmail account.  Lets say for example I have awesome@gmail.com.  I can also use awesome+1@gmail.com, awesome+2@gmail.com, awesome+3@gamil.com etc.  and any replys would go to awesome@gmail.com.  I'm trying to figure out practical applications of use for this.  So far all I'm coming up with is contest applications because usually website or contest that you are signing up for will see each new addition as a unique email account.  You'd still get the spam though.  Something to ponder.  If you think of a good use for this feature let me know!  :)
