My Wonderful Life ... Need help with your exit strategy?

Death has certainly gone tech and it's not a bad thing. There's a new FREE site called: My Wonderful Life aimed at the baby boomers who want to plan their own funeral otherwise known as an "exit strategy" (I love that term : ))

Created by Sue Kruskopf and Nancy Bush this site lets you plan your music, readings and photographs. The info is password protected and only available to selected friends and family. The site will also allow you to tell your survivors where your key documents are (i.e., will, insurance, etc.) "How To" info is available such as budgeting, writing your own obit and it also gives creative ideas to make your funeral more personalized.

Think outside the box and you'll love this site.

Halloween Cuteness ... Having a party?

Funerals ... As seen by Google Maps

This never crossed my mind until I ran across it on the net. I guess "Big Brother" is always watching ... from the beginning to the end."

With the continually increasing quality of images on Google Maps/Earth, it’s hardly surprising that the cameras are capturing ever more private moments of people’s lives. Perhaps then it was only a matter of time before the very end of someone’s life was published on the Internet for the whole world to see.

Here’s two examples of funerals taking place, one in the Queen of Heaven Cemetery, Chicago, and the other at the Gate of Heaven Cemetery, Washington DC Silver Spring, Maryland. In both shots you can see a crowd of mourners surrounding the grave and also the funeral procession parked nearby. Who'd have thunk it???? (Source)

Skull a Day ... More common than you think : )

Skull-A-Day This site hosts a treasure trove of online stuff-a-day: jokes, photos, words, hacks, and games, to name a few. Lot's of great imagination and creativity for anyone to be able to pull this site off. There is the orange paper / the skull sparkler, a spooky cloud and a pile of veggies (oh and notice the skull to the left made of rice : ) ). Even simple, everyday plastic items can be transformed into cranial art. Tiptoe through and find your favorite, or suggest one of your own. Before you know it, you'll be looking for them everywhere, and might even think they're cute.
