Find A Grave
Where is your loved one buried? Where is your favorite celebrity’s monument? Recently I was searching for funeral information and I stumbled upon a website that keeps track of where graves are located. Yes, I realize Find A Grave is quite morbid, however the site serves as a useful tool and way to pay tribute. For example, here is Steve Jobs burial location.

Box Office Mojo
I will always find it simply amazing when the point of reference from an “official news source” is directly from the internet. In this case, if you are looking for the latest numbers from the weekend box office or information on the latest movie releases then you need to discover Box Office Mojo. The site says, “it was created by movie analyst Brandon Gray in 1999 and has since grown into the No. 1 box office destination worldwide, currently averaging over 2 million unique visitors per month.”
Kid iPad Game: Scribble Beard
A friend of mine recently created an iPad game and I finally had time to review it. It’s an iPad drawing, doodling and imagining app for kids called Pirate Scribble Beards Treasure. It’s a sort of high-tech doodle book, where children can use their imagination to create characters, complete the scenes, and more.
It’s ideal for parents that want more than addictive casual games for their children. The game is intuitive and easy to use.
