So, because I’m just feeling all crazy and wild today, I thought to step out of my blog-writing-norm and highlight two, yah, you got it - TWO interesting or shall we say “unique” sites . . .

So, at an absolutely lovely dinner with friends last night, Matt “KickApps” Bijur was wondering if we had ever heard of a site called “What White People Like.” I hadn’t until that point so I decided to do a Google search on my iPhone and can I just tell you, there was a TON of fork-droppin’, chokin’ on food and people fallin’ all over themselves . . . okay, okay . . . it wasn’t THAT bad. But pretty darn close.

This site features things, places, people that “White People Like” - Outdoor performance clothes, shorts, the HBO show “The Wire” (huh?), T-shirts, old high school memories . . . to name a few. I guess this isn’t racist or excluding of other, non-Whiteies, it’s just a website to highlight the differences between white-people’s habits . . . I think it’s pretty hilarious (shhh . . because everything is so true. hee hee . . .)

Okay on to the next frikkin’ cool site . . .

For those of you avid travelers out there, you’re going to LOVE this site. Drifters allows people to keep track of their travels, share their trip photos, reviews, and blogs with friends and family, as well as research destinations.

Essentially, it’s a user-generated travel site that provides information, stories and experiences on different destinations around the world. Since I travel so much, this site is ideal - I want to get a solid review from someone who has recently visited the country I’m searching for . . . not some paid content creator from TripAdvisor or Orbitz (no offense guys).

Also, for you scrapbook fiends, Drifters is a great way to keep track of all of your photos, videos and maps during your trip, virtually. This helps when you’re trying to share certain experiences with the folks at home-base, but don’t have time to send a postcard, letter, load pics, etc. I love it!
