On a day trip to Philadelphia, we had some time to check out the Philadelphia Zoo. As we went through the animal exhibits, we also came across some interesting Lego exhibits as well. Yes, Lego. My favorite was the penguins.

Sure, in-flight WiFi may make us all feel like we're living in the future (hurry up, JetBlue!), but there's another plane-centric technology that I adore — especially right now. I'm waiting for my BFF to arrive in California from the East Coast and have been following her cross-country flight on a flight tracker.

I'm partial to Apple's Flight Tracker widget on the dashboard, but most airlines also offer a detailed map view of what the plane is flying over, how high the plane is flying, and what time the flight will arrive at its destination. I can't help continually refreshing the widget and getting more and more excited as the plane gets closer.

Google never ceases to amaze me! While I might not love instant search, I do love the little arrow on search results page. Yesterday when I was searching Google for a new pendant light for my dining table, I used my arrow keys to scroll down the page like I always do and realized there was a little blue arrow also following me around, so when I reached the result I wanted to click on I could just click enter! Definitely a geeky thing I love.

Earlier this month, GeekSugar posted a story about LittleBigPlanet "live" avatars, which made me even more anxious for my awaiting Amazon order. And what was I eagerly waiting for you might ask? Well, I was waiting for him.

Meet my Sackboy — soon to be general travel companion and fellow life liver-er. I hope you catch my drift. Because I travel a lot for work, I usually find it difficult to want to take pics of me in certain places without either having to ask someone around to take a pic (and even then it's a bit awkward since it's a pic of just you) or to perform that strange semi-contortionist move of outstretching one's arm out long enough to not be too close-up and angled in the way that angle of the camera doesn't capture you in a "fat face" pose.

To hear more about missiza's Sackboy, and to check out photos of their travels, just read on.

I have always been on the look out for ways to keep my headphone wires somewhat organized in my bag, or wherever I place them because no one likes taking any amount of time away from their musical entertainment because they had to unravel or detangle their headphones. I mean, really . . . how many times have you just wanted to pop in those headphones and press play, but you were thwarted by the intricacies of detangling your headphones? Sigh. So upon one of my many visits to The Container Store, I came across these lovely items.

Normally, I never trust any type of magnetic fastener when it comes to paper. But after seeing this site and their cable ties, I thought that maybe this Container Store item will be the salvation to detangling freedom. And boy was it ever! I love how the clips are bright in color so it also makes it easy to find my headphones, and the magnets are pretty strong that they don't unfasten.
