Hi everyone! It’s good to be back after being away from my blog for a week. For those who don’t know, my family and I went on a road trip from California to Maryland which is about 2,600+ miles, 40+ hours of driving and took us 5 days & 4 nights (including stopovers). My apologies for the lack of updates. I wasn’t able to post updates because I didn’t have any Internet connection and I couldn’t login to my WordPress dashboard on my iPhone because the latest update of the WordPress for iOS (iPhone/iPad) was broken.
I also wasn’t able to publish last week’s edition of the Weekend Roundup because I was very busy packing stuff and getting ready for our trip. I planned on scheduling posts for last week but wasn’t able to prepare any drafts/posts because of the busy schedule. I was also planning on posting a few guest posts from blogger friends but that too didn’t work out.
I’ll do my best to make it up to you guys with several updates in the coming days. I’ll also be posting a blog contest/giveaway so watch out for it. Hope you folks enjoy this week’s edition of the Weekend Roundup! Btw, this week’s edition is kinda “special” because it is the 100th edition of the Weekend Roundup.

Heard about 1800Goog411 service being shut down. Was really disappointed as I thought this service would really be helpful to common people. Recently I tried a new toll free service 1800-500-0000 by Justdial. I am completely amazed by this human assisted service. Try it out…
