Google Maps

View Larger Map

I have used Google maps many times before. It is a really good way to get a quick look at a street or suburb.
In the past I have checked out places I have traveled to in the world and also in Australia.
The great feature of Google Maps in my opinion is the "street view" function.
Not every street has this ability, though more and more are appearing as time goes by. My post shows where I have purchased my little bit of Australia!

iGoogle

iGoogle is a great tool to integrate many websites or information. It helps by not having to navigate to the actual website, rather providing a snapshot of the information you need. As it is fully customizable, you can select what you want to see. The interface is extremely well put together, making it simple to change things like your theme, appearance or add gadgets.
There seems to be unlimited gadgets available and it iGoogle even allows you to create your own.
Even Super Mario was available as a gadget, so he lives on my iGoogle page aswell as Google Maps, Facebook and Sudoku!

Downloadable Audio Books

Checked out Project Gutenberg

I was actually surprised to see how many eBooks are available to download.

To be honest, I was unaware of this sort of service on the net, the amount of resources here is quite amazing actually.

I then checked out YPRL's Overdrive Downloadable Media,

Again I was surprised about the variety and number of audiobooks, eBooks andvideos available to download.

Podcast

Via the ABC - Radio National Podcasts, I had a look through the music section, as i usually get podcasts that are music related.

I navigated to the Triple J music web site, and actually found a podcast which I was really interested in.

The podcast is called "Triple J Unearthed" which provides a sample of new Australian music via their show.

The link for the podcast is:
http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/podcast/unearthed.xml

Usually, I automatically receive other selected podcasts via iTunes.

Then all I do is plug my iPod in to my PC, and the podcasts download and load automatically to my iPod, which is really handy.

YouTube

This is by far the funniest YouTube video I have seen!

You be the judge!
