Under this category in my Favorites are mostly boring things like my bank and Mapquest and the Weather Channel; you can figure out what you need in that department. But there are a few that you may not know about, things that have come in quite handy.
At http://www.icantfindmyphone.com, you can type in your phone number, and it'll ring for you as you poke around the house playing the hotter-colder game with yourself.
http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com is a pretty ingenious concept. If you have trouble getting to a site, you type in the URL and it tells you whether it's your problem. If only there were a site like that for personal problems.
At http://www.oneacross.com, you can type in the clue that's stumping you in a crossword puzzle, plus the pattern (like, "refined" and "cl***y"). You'll get a list of possible answers rated by likelihood. Whether this is useful, because it aids a relatively non-useful pastime, is debatable, but I like it.
Another site of debatable usefulness, and one I've never actually used but is a cool concept: http://www.filleritem.com helps you find something to get you just over the $25 mark on Amazon so you can get free shipping. Or you could join Amazon Prime and always have it. Or, shop at used book sales instead.
That's it for today. Check back for more Lundi Links next Monday, and maybe a regular post or two in the meantime.
