El Duomo (St. Maria del Fiore Cathedral) in Florence is pretty astounding sight, and even more impressive when you consider that they built this in the 11th Century, without any machinery or tools that we have today. Rather, they used elephants to transport cement and other materials to the construction site.

Trapster is a free mobile app that's bound to save you hundreds of dollars in traffic tickets. If you're like me, there's a good chance you've gotten a speeding ticket before, and maybe had to pay $358 (or some other randomly large sum). And maybe you even had to "waste" some time at traffic school.

Congrats to Zappos.com for this huge exit they've made off on from Amazon. Amazon.com bought them with about 10 million shares, aka $807 million. Not bad for selling shoes.
On an aside, if you've never used Zappos before, you clearly should. They've got great customer service, offering free shipping to and from the company. Like 15 shoes but don't know which one fits you? Try 'em all out and return the rest for free.
See Amazon CEO, Jeff Bezos' video above, as well as a link to Zappos CEO, Tony Hsieh's letter to his employees here.

The Széchenyi Chain Bridge runs over the Danube River, linking up Buda and Pest. Bet you didn't know those were two separate places within the city of Budapest. And in the age old question of Buda vs. Pest -- the answer is clearly Buda.

My buddy Ted's father is uber-talented and painted this original masterpiece for his birthday a few years back. Take a moment to check it out and fully appreciate its awesomeness.
And while you're at it, be sure to check out Ted's Flushing Fussing Mets blog post this week, among others.
