Kayak.com Quietly Launches Weekend Trip Search

Recently, airfare/hotel search engine Kayak.com has made a change that I’ve wanted for a long time: a weekend fare finder. There is now an option to be notified about the cheapest upcoming weekend flights to and from any destination. To many travelers, it doesn’t matter when the deal is good – It just matters that it’s a weekend trip.

Dear Spammers: Give it Up, I use Gmail

I’ll keep this short. My primary e-mail address is a gmail1 account. I get about 10 legit e-mails a day, and 75 spams a day.

The Undoing of Lindsay Lohan

Throughout the early stages of her blossoming film career, Lindsay Lohan lived a relatively normal and peaceful Hollywood teenage life, if such a thing exists. However, in 2005, something happened.
