Would You Stay in a (Geek-ified) Jumbo Jet Hostel?
I've been to a few hostels in my day, but this one has to take the cake as the most unusual: The Jumbo Hostel is a gutted Boeing 747 that has been transformed into an inexpensive hotel for you adventurous travelers. Although the concept is cool, the best thing about staying at the Jumbo Hostel isn't that it's steps away from Stockholm's airport, or that you can get a room for as little as $43 dollars a night, it's that each cabin boasts free wireless Internet and a flat screen television, ensuring that you can check your emails and watch Swedish TV in style.

Ikea Shopping to Be Changed Forever by an iPhone App
Ikea shopping is an experience unto itself; there's the imagining of oneself in the room setups; those amazing meatballs; and of course, tracking your projected purchases via a list and golf pencil.
As Ikea as penciling in the word Malm with its aisle and bin location is, there's a new iPhone app that replaces the old technique. SwedeShop is a virtual shopping list custom built for Ikea, and does a lot for the 99 cents it costs.
