Website of the Day: Unthirsty
I know I know, with posts like Buy Your Friend A Drink, Mappy Hour and now this one, you're probably thinking that geeksugar is quite the boozer. It's not that I'm a happy hour fanatic, it's just that I have a duty to bring you the most useful and interesting websites on the net - which just happen to be these ones. *wink *wink*
Thanks to TeamSugar user atkoester for submitting one of her favorite websites - Unthirsty.
Website of the Day: Mappy Hour
Last week, PartySugar and I decided we needed a little after work brew. After coming up empty handed with ideas, I suggested we check out Mappy Hour, a great site to help you locate happy hour hotspots in your city. Sure enough, Mappy Hour provided us with many options.

Testing Out the Zeo Personal Sleep Coach
In my opinion, achieving a sense of general well-being includes three vital components: incorporating a balanced and nutritious diet into your lifestyle, getting regular exercise, and getting enough sleep. Not surprisingly, most people are lacking in one or all of these areas, which is why I am thrilled to tell you about this new device that acts as your personal sleep coach — because we all know if we don't get enough sleep, diet and exercise tend to be the last things on our minds.
Based on academic articles within sleep science and designed in conjunction with sleep scientists, the Zeo Personal Sleep Coach is a four-part system which includes a headband, a bedside display, an interactive website, and a seven-step sleep fitness program.

Website of the Day: Frame Finder
The last time I had to pick out a pair of glasses, I felt stricken with guilt that I was taking up too much of the salesperson's time. He'd pick out a style, I'd pick out another one, and it went like this back and forth for about an hour. So you can imagine how happy I was when I discovered a cool site on Digital Inspiration called Frame Finder, that allows you to try on glasses virtually.
Oscar Worthy Gadgets: Wall-E's Junkyard Vintage Geek Finds
It's only fitting that I'm reviewing Wall-E's Oscar worthy gadgets during the week before Valentine's Day, since enduring love is one of the film's main themes. And naturally, Wall-E was one of my top rated movies of last year, since a few of his costars are some of my favorite things: gadgets and robots. Nominated for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Screenplay at this year's Oscars, Wall-E takes animation to new heights, and keeps the geeks happy at the same time.
Do You Use Airport WiFi?
One thing that makes me happy is free WiFi in airports. Something that doesn't make me happy is when I have to pay $9.95 for one hour of Internet use in most airports across the United States.
Once in a while I'm fortunate to be armed with a wireless broadband card so I don't have to stress about whether or not an airport has free WiFi, but quite often, it's just me and an expensive connection.
Animal Crossing City Folk For the Wii: New Features, Still Cute
I'm obviously a big fan of Animal Crossing — having spent hours on end playing Wild World on my DS — I'm happy to say I've already put in some good time with Animal Crossing: City Folk, since its release on Sunday. It's the same game you know and love from before (which could be a good or bad thing, depending on how you look at it), but thankfully there are a few awesome new features on the Wii version that you won't find on any of the other consoles.
One of which is the Wii Speak adapter ($30) that lets you chat with others from around the world via your WiFi connection.
