Bloglines

Found some sites eg. NYT and Guardian book reviews, very useful. Could copy some reviews for Reader's Advisory purposes. Abstract Art is a visually stimulating but would prefer to look at books and magazines. But does give a broader field to explore and more choice than magazines.
Takes time to find relevant material.

Mobile phones.

I cannot imagine life without the convenience of a mobile phone!
Hard to imagine how life worked smoothly without one.

Trip Planner.

Viewed this excellent website and think the maps are fantastic.
Would be a very useful tool while travelling.
