Traveler IQ Challenge - Online games for the intrepid traveler

I fully confess that this is neither a travel gadget nor a useful travel website (though it’s housed on TripAdvisor.com so you can look up travel info when you’re done!), this game is a little bit of a fun distraction for anyone who loves travel.

Negative Scanner

More than likely, you have a digital camera and can use that for taking all your vacation photos. However, what if you have a box full of negatives and slides? My father has stacks and stacks of slides sitting in boxes and cases in my parents’ front hall cupboard and in his half […]

Wi-Fi Photo Handling

Digital cameras either use flash cards, XD cards, or SD cards. If yours happens to take the SD cards, you can pick up this Wi-Fi SD Card.
