Bored when travelling on public transport?

This post is more for those who travel on public transport. If you are driving, you can hardly take up my suggestion. Read on and you will see why. So what do you do when you are travelling and are outright bored? For me, I normally bring a book with me, especially if I know the journey is a long one. However, reading may not be everyone's favorite pastime and it might not always be feasible too. Perhaps you can't find a book you like or maybe you don't want to bring along something extra - especially if the book you are currently latched on is a bulky hardcover version. :P But think: what is it that you will likely always have with you? Answer: Your mobile phone For some people who are able to play music with their mobile phones, good for them. They can choose to have this little entertainment if they are bored. Otherwise? Or if you don't feel like listening to music? How about games then? Games are not strictly the domain of kids, and adults can play games too - especially intellectual ones. Say, remember the Sudoku craze earlier? That "cute" Japanese mathematical brain stimulator? Well, you can consider installing a Sudoku game in your phone and while your time away challenging your mind. Check out Mobile Heart, one of the better websites I found that provide free games that can really be downloaded (I found several others but despite my considerable capability, I can't download the free games offered). You can zoom in straight to their games section (if the link is invalid when you read this post, just find it again from the main site) and see if you can find some games you like for your phone model - or just grab one of the many Sudoku games available. ^^ Enjoy. =)

What happens if your phone goes dead?

I came across this gadget and I find it too irresistible to simply pass without telling anyone. So here goes. :P The Sidewinder is the world's smallest, lightest, and most powerful portable cell/mobile phone charger available! Weighing only 2 ½ ounces it puts out power greater than a plug-in charger. It fits easily into a briefcase, suit pocket, purse, vehicle glove box, backpack or household emergency kit. Two (2) minutes of charging equals over 6 minutes of talk time, even more standby time. Keep charging and talk indefinitely. Ideal for any situation away from a traditional power source where you need to complete a call. Use for camping, hiking, boating, hunting or when away from a conventional charging outlet. So basically, this gadget converts the kinetic energy which you supply into electrical energy. Just insert your phone into the Sidewinder and you can just wind the lever by the side to charge your phone battery. Imagine you are taking an important call and the battery is going flat - now this will come in very handy. There is a 30 day money back guarantee and it accepts paypal for payment. I am neither a seller nor taking commissions. If you are interested, you can check it out for yourself at http://members.shaw.ca/sidewindercharger . I believe it is retailing for US$24.95. In fact, at time of posting, they are offering a $5 discount so it costs only US$19.95 now. Do check that your phone model is supported before buying!
