Hotels let customers use Net to check in  Radisson Hotels & Resorts this week starts allowing guests to check in via the Internet up to a week before arrival.  The industry is giving guests ways to use their electronic gadgetry to minimize waiting or to otherwise enrich their lodging experience. Now available or in the works: electronic, calorie-tabulating menus in hotel restaurants; Wi-Fi-enabled roaming check-in clerks; and recharging cradles in rooms for Apple iPod personal music players. 3:56:59 PM    comment []

Couple finally reunited, 88 years after wife's death  The couple have been separated for a century — him buried for 111 years in an unmarked grave near Unionville, Mo., and her ashes stored for 88 years in the basements of Winfield banks. It took reading several newspaper articles, surfing the Internet keystroke by keystroke and a little luck to find a living relative who could take Mary on one final journey. 3:54:05 PM    comment []
