Rick DeLuca's Technology Tips for December 10, 2009
More Convenient Then Remembering: Sometimes, we find articles and sites we want
to revisit. Remembering addresses or bookmarking isn't always convenient. Futz.me is a
handy little site. Start by setting up your Futz.me account. When there's something you
want to read later, use your address bar. Enter "futz.me/username" (minus quotes) before
the Web address. Futz.me will e-mail you a link to the page. Futz.me can do more than
that. You can send yourself a reminder via the address bar. You can also send pages and
reminders to your phone http://futz.me/site
Get Auto Repair Estimates: It is difficult to find a mechanic for your car because it is a
challenge to comparison shop. When it comes to repairs, getting the right estimate can be
messy. That's where RepairPal can help. It will provide you with estimates for car
maintenance and repairs. Of course, there's more to RepairPal than estimates. It will also
help you locate mechanics that specialize on your make of car. You can also post your car
questions. Or, visit the Encyclopedia to learn more about cars. http://repairpal.com
Exercising Your Brain Too: Head over to Games for the Brain. You'll find plenty of
games to help you keep your mind in shape. There are fun word games. You can also
play Mahjongg, Sudoku and Chess. There are also some games that you can put on your
Web site or blog. These games are great to give your brain a quick little tune up. But, be
careful! It would be too easy to play for hours! http://www.gamesforthebrain.com
Add Custom Frames To Photos: Not only for Christmas and other holidays. How
about those photos you send to prospective clients? Why not create your own photo
cards? It is much easier than you think. In fact, you don't need to know anything about
photo editing. HP has a variety of photo frames and borders you can use. And they're
free! Start by picking the design you'd like. Then, upload your photos. You can upload
from your computer. Or, choose a photo hosted on Snapfish. Simply drag your photo
onto the photo frame or border. When you're done, print your card!

Compare Estimated With Actual Gas Mileage: New car estimated gas mileage is
usually optimistic to actual. So, you may wonder how the actual mileage stacks up. After
all, your driving style and other factors play a role in mileage.That's where Fuelly can help.
This site is useful for anyone who is car shopping. You can see owners' actual mileage.
You'll see just how optimistic the estimated mileage is.You can also use it to see how
your driving habits affect your mileage. Or, it can help you determine when to get your
car serviced! http://www.fuelly.com
