Online photo editing - Phoenix by Aviary

Much cheaper than Photoshop and they claim it's just as funcional - but subscription-based, which means you'll have to pay every year. unless you can get by on the 50 projects allowed to you in the free version.

Travel Planner Site

This site, NileGuide looks like it might be cool if they can get the data into that they need. I know it's still in Beta, but there is no way to plan a trip for a destination that isn't already in the site. and I couldn't find any way to add destinations or places to visit. If they could partner with a review site like Yelp this would be AWESOME!

Talking First Aid Kits



These are kind pricey at $130, but pretty awesome, organized by injury type, this kits provides instructions verbally (keeping your hands free) to anyone who might need to administer first aid. I know I'd appreciate having one of these around our office, because I don't know if anyone here has taken a first aid class...somehow I doubt it.

From the site:
The kit is separated into individually labeled and color-coded injury packs so the user has all the supplies and easy to follow instructions for managing a specific injury. The audio module in each injury card takes the technology a step further. By the squeeze of a button, the module narrates step-by-step instructions to manage the injury, pausing and repeating when necessary for accurate response.
