WIKICAMPS App WikiCamps is a handy app for those of you who like to plan your adventures on the go. WikiCamps generates a list of nearby campsites based on your current location. It uses a quick reference visual icon system to show you all the details and facilities such as whether a site is free or has a cost, what type of camping is permitted, if the site allows pets, or whether there are amenities such as showers or laundry facilities. Once you have selected a site, WikiCamps can feed directions to your existing navigation apps. WikiCamps also allows you to download site information so you can access key information when you are offline. wikicamps.com.au
FREAKONOMICS Blog The Freakonomics blog is an online radio blog from the authors of the bestselling books Freakonomics and SuperFreakonomics, Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner. Just as they did in their books, the pair apply economic reasoning and principles to interrogate the reality by numbers of topical issues and commonly held beliefs. Recent episodes include ‘How Much Does the President Really Matter’ where the Freakonomics team uses data to consider the real impact of leadership and whether who the ‘leader of the free world’ is really matters. From big social and political issues to smaller topics like the relevance of handwriting and why we get bored, Freakonomics covers it all. freakonomics.com
