I lost my meat today. It's gone. Don't mourn its loss. No, this is no time for sorrow. When a man's meat is pilfered by a no-good poacher, well, that there's a time for revenge. Time spent cryin' is time spent dyin'. That's what my grandpappy used to say. He was shot in the ...Frequent Flyer Master -- A product review
If you've ever heard of the brand The Art of Non-Conformity you may have heard of Chris Guillebeau. Self described as a man who "writes, travels and helps people take over the world," Guillebeau is a frequent traveler, speaker, entrepreneur and all-around social maven out ...Gadlinks for Friday 11.6.09
I don't know about you guys, but I'm really grateful it's Friday! I need the weekend to decompress, but these great reads have already helped me on my way.
I love companies that give back. Here are five travel outlets that make giving part of buying. [via Jaunted]

Yesterday I posted on packing light for a cold trip - definitely something new for me since I live in Alaska and prefer escaping ...Homer Simpson's voice on GPS tells you where to go and more
Earlier today Mike wondered what Bob Dylan's voice would be like in a GPS system. Here's another voice idea. Greg Phelps, the art car aficionado who tells me about car oddities from time to time, told me about this one. Homer Simpson's voice can be downloaded to a portable ...GPS Footwear: Program your shoes and start walking?
Perhaps one of the worst travel experiences is being lost and on foot in a city without a decent map or a sense of direction. This is particularly horrendous when one has walked and walked and walked only to discover the same buildings and streets that one saw hours ago. A ...Would you want Bob Dylan to voice your GPS?
Earlier today, we ran a poll asking readers if they prefer their GPS devices to have a male or female voice? Andy Murdock, an astute reader, left us a comment pointing out that Bob Dylan is in negotiations to voice a GPS unit. Sure, Dylan's a music legend and an icon, but is ...Poll: Is your GPS male or female?
I've been in plenty of cars on several continents that had GPS units. I've heard robotic male Aussies instruct me through a roundabout and seductive French women tell me to U-turn in 300 meters. And for giggles, I've set the devices to Chinese, Portuguese and several other ...SkyMall Monday: Underwater Cell Phone System
Here at the SkyMall Monday headquarters, the motto is "Be Prepared...Always" I considered copying the Boy Scouts' motto verbatim, but I just can't support any organization that places so much emphasis on neckerchiefs. That said, I like to be ready for any situation, and ...Fun with your global positioning system: GPS drawing
Keep your home address out of your GPS unit
Have you ever considered what could happen if your vehicle is stolen, along with your GPS unit? A thief could tell the GPS unit to "go home". If you are like most people, you'll provide easy access to your home with the garage door opener in your vehicle.
Now, I'll admit ...New Hampshire museum dedicated to vintage camping
There once was a time when family vacations meant loading up the car and hitting the road for a camping trip that involved setting up a big canvas tent or parking a silver Airstream camper in a vaguely wooded area, and enjoying some time in the great outdoors. It was a ...SkyMall Monday: Solafeet Foot Tanner
This week, as promised, I'm featuring the best new product in the Holiday 2009 SkyMall catalog. And it couldn't come at a better time. This may shock you, but being America's leading SkyMall expert doesn't pay very well. So, I've applied for a lot of jobs to supplement my ...Reminder - enter the Gadling anniversary contest for your chance to win an IPEVO Kaleido R7 photo frame!

Each time I read through posts for Gadling Take Five, I look for those that may have been missed by readers. I also look for posts that may fit together in some sort of cosmic theme. It's often hard to choose five. While browsing the offerings this week, it seems this was a ...Gadlinks for Wednesday 10.21.09

...Device helps women on the go "go" in the woods or elsewhere
If you're a woman traveler, you've probably been in a quandary at one time or another wondering how and where you might pee. Gazing about, it seems that no bush is big enough. Trees seem skinny. Where is the best angle to squat to be the most discrete in case someone ...Top ten things not to forget on a trip
We all usually try to travel light, but when you succeed, do you feel a little nervous? I do. If I can lift my suitcase without grunting, I'm fairly certain I've forgotten something. Here's a list of the Top ten things not to forget on a trip -- hopefully both you and I can ...SkyMall Monday: Reader Favorite
Kia ora from New Zealand. I'm in the Southern Hemisphere for the fourth time this year since Spring is better than Fall and I wanted to miss the first sign of snow in New York City. I also wanted to take a long trip to maximize my time with the new SkyMall catalog (more on ...
