I have taken a fair amount of trips in my day, and from my extensive trip planning, I just assumed that all travel agents were created equal. Boy, was I wrong. My last vacation turned out to be a bit of a bummer because our agent recommended some activities that were nothing like what they were described as, which really put a damper on my vacay. Thankfully, I won't have to go through travel-agent rage again — I've discovered Tripology.
Tripology is simple: you enter where you want to go, and Tripology will connect you with up to three travel agents that specialize in your destination.
Tripology is based off of the idea that some travel agents are more familiar with certain areas of the globe (whether it be from experience, they have lived there, or are just particularly interested in a certain place), and they should be the ones to help you plan your vacation. I would happen to agree. Tripology is free to use, and you can book your trip directly with the agent of your choosing. Here's to hoping Tripology takes the hassle (and disappointment) out of your next trip!
If you haven't tested out Google Docs yet, what's stopping you? The spreadsheets were indispensable for me over the last few months when I collaborated with friends on a party and planned a trip out of town with several friends — my boyfriend and I even use it to make grocery lists (watching someone edit your doc simultaneously is endlessly fascinating).
So I was shocked when I read that only 1 percent of users utilize Google Docs, and that people are still using Microsoft Office. I use both; not ready, I guess, to completely live on the cloud and go Google Docs all the way, but I can foresee a day when I might.

Having a penchant for geeky accessories doesn't mean you have to let your freak-flag fly for all the world to see. There are discreet ways of doing it, as with these Mini Lego Earrings ($15).
They're teeny and unobtrusive, and only the most eagle-eyed of admirers will be able to tell they're legos, and when they do, you're sure to get compliments.
But something that's essentially children's building blocks good enough for your earlobes? Tell me about it in the comments below.
We've talked before about how Lipstick Jungle is pretty much exclusively Apple now, and how all three leading ladies have iPhones, but until this week's episode, they all had first generation phones. No longer — tiger shark editrix Nico Reilly is the first one to get an iPhone 3G.
Her new iPhone is black, and this placement does make sense for Nico, being the one with the most high-powered, fashion-oriented job. Would she be as respected with last year's phone? Perhaps, but this makes her truly look like she's on top of it. I wonder if it's only a matter of time before the other girls follow suit?
Sadly, I didn't get one of these exclusive invites. But from Nov. 17- 21, Verizon Wireless is hosting a Private Sale for "valued customers." Invitees will most likely believe the sale has something to do with the BlackBerry Storm, but the BS doesn't arrive in stores until Nov. 21. — The Boy Genius Report
