Universal trip packing list generator

Universal Packing LIstI hate packing for trips. I will put it off until the last possible moment, and even then some. Part of the reason I hate it is that I'm never quite sure exactly what I need to pack.

If you're in the same boat, you might find the Universal Packing List site as interesting as I do. Basically, the site is a very compact user interface that asks you a set of questions about your upcoming trip, ranging from your gender, to whether you will be washing your own clothes, if you wear glasses, and where in the world you'll be traveling to.

Once you've completed the questionnaire, it spits out a very comprehensive list of things to pack, as well as a to-do list to take care of before you leave.

Trip planning and organizing with TripHub

TripHub makes it easy to plan and organize your next trip and collaborate with your travel party. The TripHub dashboard is comprised of Trip Tools, MyTrip Hub, and a Shop. The Trip Tools section comprises of your event schedule, accommodations, flight, guest attendance, and a trip blog. You initially start off the planning by entering a trip name, and destination with start and end dates. You then move to your guest settings with an RSVP by date, and send out invitations to people who you would like to attend the trip. The Trip Tools section help you set up plans for the flight, accommodations, and trip details.

TripHub is a nice little online social application that lets your travel party stay in touch and collaborate when planning a trip. Collaboration, is in my opinion, the best part of TripHub. Being able to make suggestions to your travel party on accommodations and flights helps make travel planning a nice group effort.

The software takes your criteria for a trip, then silently checks various internet travel sites for the lowest fares for the trip you specify, and alerts you when it finds one that falls into the criteria you set.

Graveyard Shift - zombie-busting Time Waster

With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet. They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
