Send Email to Your Future - FutureMe.Org

I find this idea is pretty awesome, you can actually send email to your future with FutureMe.Org. Here is the sample that I write to myself!



It is very simple, you just fill them out like a normal email, choose when you want to deliver and click "Send to The Future!". The private and public's setting is to set whether you want to share your letter to the public. To see public letters from others, you can navigate to "Read Public Letters" tab. You will see many delivered future letters here. After that (the final step), you just need to click on the verification link that send to your email.

Not necessary you must send to yourself, you can also send to others. To do that, you must register first and login. Once you login, the steps are similar but you can now choose who you want to send your email to. I think you also can send to multiple emails with ";" as separator.

When the time comes, you will receive an email something like this.


This is something I think can be improved because it doesn't look like an email. I did this last year (as you can see) but it may have changed now. Nevertheless, this is still a very cool idea! Try it out!


P/S: Not just merely for fun, you can use this as a reflection tool for yourself or maybe send a letter to someone who you have no guts to tell her/him something now! :)

Listen Radio Online for Free - TuneIn Radio

Recently I found this app which allows you listening to your hometown radio station online. This is very useful especially if you're in oversea like me and you miss you local radio station very much. You can use this app to browse to your favorite stations and listen them online.

You can also browse to other country's radio stations. Go to browse tab and choose "By Location". You don't need to be physically in that country to listen to their radios. This is really awesome!



However not all stations are working fine. For example, although I can find MY FM in Malaysia radio station, when I try to play it and it gives me this warning "The station is not available". So I guess it is still better than nothing. A lot of stations are still working good.

One more thing you need to be aware of is this app drains up your battery very fast if it runs in your background. I suggest if you don't listen to it, make sure you completely exit the application. Sometimes click on the back button may not work and it still runs in background (although there is no music or sound).

So, my suggestion is just go to "Menu Button" and select "Exit" to make sure it completely exits if you don't listen to it anymore.

Here is the application page in Google Play: TuneIn Radio
