Going outernational: Map Channels Hotel Directory is a Google Maps mash-up to make your travel planning better. First you enter your destination city, arrival date and the length of your stay. Then the widget shoots out a Bat-Signal-style scanning ray around the map of your destination and queries multiple reservation systems to come up with a list of available accommodations, ranked by price, and places them on the map so you can see how excitingly close or inconveniently far they are from where the action is. It’s available for most major travel destinations and can save you a bundle while keeping you geographically well-informed at hotels.mapchannels.com.
Schlock imitates life: Sometimes jokes happen in real life, and what starts as parody becomes reality. The fine fellows at College Humor put together a little video list of gags-gone-real, and without spoiling the surprise, it includes The Simpsons, The Critic, Chris Rock, The Onion and Mr. Show. See what happens when jokes come true at www.collegehumor.com/article:1752468.
