The Tiltpod Mobile Phone Base is a cheap, easy to use, and totally portable base unfortunately suitable only for iPhones, but it’s still a brilliant idea. It even has a built in loop for hooking it right on your keychain. Once they make one of these for an HTC phone, I’m in!

At a ceremony on Tuesday, May 1 in Everett, Washington, Boeing made the delivery of the new 747-8 to Lufthansa. As the world’s longest jet, the 747-8 is 250.3 feet long, two stories high, and a wingspan of 225 feet. Oh, and for what it’s worth, the jet weighs 974,443 pounds. Lufthansa has ordered 20 of the 747-8s, and plans to use them on intercontinental flights from Germany to the U.S. and India.

What a big and beautiful airplane!

I Was Here is a travel journal with a twist. Most travel journals are just blank page after blank page, but not the I Was Here travel journal. While each page has plenty of space for words, there are also tons of helpful cues, hints and suggestions of things to write about – like meals, recipes, observations, encounters, and more. For those that have a hard time putting pen to paper, this is a great journal to help nudge them in the right direction!
