Personal Assistant

Do you ever have those days where you're juggling so many things at once you find yourself having escapist fantasies about how easy life would be if only you had a personal assistant? Well you're not CEO of a Fortune 500 company yet, but that doesn't mean you can't have a personal assistant - a digital one at least. Check out Task.fm - the new, free way to get your disorganized life in order. Just go to the site, set up your account, and start scheduling your reminders. The application can send free reminders via email - but you can also get reminders via phone call or text message. The only downside, phone call and text message reminders have a fee - but it's pretty negligible - only $.10 per reminder - so you can get the reminders you need without breaking the bank. Go on, embrace the possibility of a digital personal assistant, because let's face it, you won't get a human one for at least another 10 years.

Making Your Move

Here's the situation: You've been sitting in front of your computer searching dining and entertainment sites for the last 45 minutes trying to decide where you and your 3 girlfriends should go on a Saturday night. You thought this would be simple, but you're about 30 seconds away from throwing your computer through the window, ordering takeout, and just staying in for the night. Why make yourself crazy when you can go to The Next Move and have your entire night planned out for you?
Simply 'Plan Your Move' by entering the when, where, what, and who details of the evening you had in mind and let the site do all the work. It will help you plan your entire outing itinerary, move after move, until you can move no more. If you're totally clueless about what you want from your evening, the site can make suggestions about what you should do, and where, following whatever activity you chose for your 1st move. Then simply finalize your itinerary, email it to yourself and all your friends, and you're good to go.
Now if only you could find something to wear....

Stifle the Stench

Sure there are days when you feel so good that you walk around as if your poo were perfume, but you're not fooling anyone, especially your roommate. Using a bathroom, other than the one in your apartment, to do your business has always made you hesitant, although the alternative is monumentally more undesirable so, you try to be quick about it and not look at anyone as you wash your hands and sprint out the door. Today's DailyCandy highlights a product that solves all of your poo induced panic when in public. It's called Poof and it's a liquid toilet deodorizer. Just put a few droplets in the bowl before you put your bum there and the only scent you get will be Japanese Mint. Just pop the little bottle in your purse and everyone might really start buying into your whole 'my shit doesn't stink' attitude.

Best Bathrooms

When you're visiting a new city you inevitably end up running around at some point during the afternoon with one question on your mind - where am I going to pee? To the rescue: SitorSquat.com. The site, sponsored by Charmin, helps you not only locate bathrooms in your area, but also rates those bathrooms so you know whether you should sit or squat while you do your thing. The application is compatible with both the Blackberry and the iPhone so no matter your device of choice, you will always be able to find a 4-star bathroom nearby. You check ratings for everything else you do, why leave going to the bathroom to chance?!

Saving You From Yourself

Who among us has not had a night where, after a few shots of tequila, you pull out your mobile, scroll through your contacts, and land on the number of the one person who you should have erased AGES ago because calling them can ONLY result in all things negative. But, the number is still there, and you're several drinks in, so you commit the ultimate sin, the drunk dial. The next morning you stare at your phone's call log in horror, desperately trying to remember what you said after you pressed 'Send'.

Well, if you have the iPhone, those days of embarrassment and verbal diarrhea can be over forever. The newest iPhone App, Bad Decision Blocker, gives you the kind of self control you could only dream of having on your own, temporarily preventing you from dialing all those forbidden digits by 'erasing' them from your contacts for a set time period, typically 8 hours. Download it, tonight, BEFORE you go out.
