I can't help but sing the song "five little monkeys jumping on the bed" when I look at these pictures! You've got to check out the site bed jump.com where people have submitted pictures of themselves jumpin' on beds in various hotels across the globe. The fabulous site includes a little blurb with each image, including the name of the hotel where the "jumping incident" occurred and some info about the skilled and dexterous jumpers. Featured on Trendhunter this website also boasts alot of great travel info including travel guides and top 10 hotel lists. Trust me, after looking at the picture gallery, that little kid in you will want to strike a few bed jumping poses...soo much fun!

Geek Tip: Use Wakerupper as a Fool-Proof Alarm

GeekSugar — Tue, 02 Oct 2007 14:00:53 -0700

I am totally one of those people that sets two or three alarms in case one doesn't go off. I don't exactly trust my laptop as a reliable alarm source for fear it will go to sleep or shut off. And with traditional alarm clocks, you can never be sure if you set the right time or if you got the AM/PM mixed up. With Wakerupper, you'll never have to worry about sleeping in again. Featured on lifehacker, Wakerupper provides free wake-up calls (just like hotels) and reminders online. All you have to do is enter the date and time you want the call, your phone number, email and a reminder text that will play over the phone when you get the call. Wakerupper can also be used with the iPhone. I suggest changing your ringtone to something really annoying so you are guaranteed to jump out of bed as soon as it rings!Do you know a great shortcut or tip you think geeksugar readers should know?
