Wake Up, Already!

Here’s a great site we found by way of Johnny Jet’s Travel Blog: Wakerupper. It’s a Web-based service through which you can place a (free) wake up call to any phone in North America.

Say goodbye to kludgy hotel clock radios (that only seem to get more complicated over time) or the front desk on your next business trip. My Blackberry has an alarm feature but I find it a bit complicated and haven’t quite learned to trust it as much as my old Nokia cell phone.

Another that Johnny Jet recommends is OhDontForget.com. It texts rather than call so you can use if for all sorts of reminders.

We’ll be trying both of these in the days ahead and invite you to do so, too. Then report back, please.
